In the game this is a “heavy sniper rifle bullet.” There are numerous rounds for this round ranging from 200 grain bullets going 3,360 fps (1,023 m/s) to 300 grain bullets traveling at 2,780 fps (847 m/s). This cartridge fills the gap between the 7.62mm x 51 NATO sniper round and the. It was a joint venture by Finnish rifle manufacturer SAKO and British rifle manufacturer Accuracy International. This powerful Finnish cartridge was developed by Nammo Lapua Oy in the 1980’s as a high-powered, long range cartridge specifically for military snipers. In the game this is a “sniper rifle bullet.” There are a variety of ammunition manufactures that produce this popular ammunition such as 165 grain GMX traveling at 3,300 fps (1,000 m/s), and the 220 grain Sierra Match King (BTHP) reaching 2,875 fps (876 m/s).

This cartridge has been adopted by many western military units and law enforcement departments for long range sniping. Introduced by Winchester in 1963 and was originally designed as a hunting cartridge for big game such as Moose and Elk. 300 Win Mag (Winchester Magnum) (7.62mm x 67) (pictured image 01 #2) In the game this is a generic “sniper rifle bullet.” This cartridge fired a 148 grain spitzer bullet at about 2838 fps, nearly identical in weight and velocity of the 7.62mm x 51 round.

It remains one of the few standard issue rimmed cartridges still in military use and has had one of the longest service lives of any military issued cartridge. In the game this is categorized as a “sniper rifle bullet.”ħ.62mm x 54R ( Russian) (pictured image 02 #1)ĭeveloped and introduced by the Russian Empire as their service cartridge originally for their Mosin Nagant rifle, this cartridge began service in 1891 and continues to the present day. Note that this wasn’t an expanding hollow point but a tiny hollow point that improved the ballistic coefficient of the bullet. For sniper use the primary round (though there are more) was a 175 grain boat tailed hollow point (BTHP) going 2,600 fps (790 m/s) and designated as the M118 Special Ball. For these weapons the cartridge consisted of a 147 grain bullet traveling approximately 2,800 fps (850 m/s), and is designated as the M80 FMJ (full metal jacket). This round was used by battle rifles such as the FN FAL, and the M14, and joined together in metal disintegrating link belts for medium machine guns such as the German MG3, the FN MAG, and the M60. Originally called the T65E5, this cartridge was adopted as NATO’s standard cartridge in 1954. The reticle is the crosshair pattern that you see when you look through the scope.ħ.62mm x 51 NATO (pictured image 01 #1 and image 02 #2) What it also means that when you’re at 4 power, you’re getting more light into the scope, in fact, twice as much, as you do when you’re at 8 power. A 4-8x 45 means it is a 4 power variable to 8 power scope with a 45mm objective lens. The objective lens is the end of the scope towards your target and the larger that is the more light it can gather. If you see a scope described as a 6x 30, that means it has a 6 power magnification and a 30mm objective lens. Scope background: Scopes come in a variety of magnifications (some variable) and sizes. Though the game lists about three or four cartridges (confusingly!) for the game rifles, it actually divides them into two categories: “Sniper Rifle Bullet” and “Heavy Sniper Rifle Bullet,” and completely unrealistically makes all the rounds within those categories interchangeable. Both of these translated to higher damage to the target (heavier, faster = more damage). The reality is a lot of these weapons are very new or exotic or both, so honestly, most of these I had never even heard of before I started researching this guide.īackground on Cartridges: Generally the heavier the bullet, the less it is affected by wind, and the higher the velocity the flatter the ballistic arc of the bullet. I served in the military and have experience with a limited number of these weapons and some of the cartridges that are listed here. Also, no guarantee I don’t have some errors in here. This is not a play guide, so if you’re looking for that, move right along, nothing to see here.

But, I haven't seen a single mod for this game which tells me that perhaps it cannot be modded. Frankly, I would love that someone would do a mod that corrects all the names and maybe even corrects all the magazine capacities to reflect reality. Thanks to: for their excellent work in confirming all these weapons. The following is a guide to the real weapons that the Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts game weapons are based on.
