Information

The PSG-1 is a Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle designed by Heckler & Koch in 1972. The gun itself resembles a heavily modified G3 battle rifle, with a different stock, grip, and some internal modifications.

This rifle is said to have been developed in response to the Munich Massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics. The West German police units could not engage the terrorists accurately and precisely enough to prevent them from killing the hostages. Heckler & Koch was then commissioned to create a high accuracy, large shot capacity, semi-automatic rifle for police and military use. The result has a long and outstanding reputation as an extremely reliable and high performance rifle; commonly associated with elite sniper units to which a standard was set for almost all sniper rifles to measure up against - even today.

The PSG-1 is mechanically based on the G3 rifle and features a low-noise bolt closing device (similar to the forward assist on the M16 series rifles) to allow the shooter to remain silent until a shot is fired. Its expected accuracy is below 1 minute of angle (MOA) and it is considered to be one of the most accurate semi-automatic sniper rifles, capable of putting 50 consecutively fired rounds of match ammunition inside an 80 mm circle at 300 meters (3.14 inches at 328 yards).

All PSG-1s are free of iron sights but come mounted with the Hensoldt 6×42 scope with illuminated reticle, a heavy free-floating barrel and adjustable stock. The PSG-1 stock is of high impact plastic, matte black in color, and can be adjusted to better fit anybody using it. It is adjustable for length through a pivoting butt cap and includes a vertically-adjustable cheekpiece. The PSG-1 comes without iron sights because the adjustable cheekpiece of the stock places the shooter's head too high to use iron sights. The forend of the PSG-1 is fitted with a T-way rail for sling swivel or tripod. The PSG-1's official suppressor is manufactured by Brügger & Thomet.

The rifle also features a removable and adjustable trigger unit, for further individual fitting of the rifle. The trigger is adjustable for pull and is removable from pistol grip. The pistol grip is of a target-type with an adjustable palm shelf. (Source: https://guns.fandom.com/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_PSG-1)

Gameplay

Along with the MOSIN PU and the L96A1, the PSG-1 is the only classified "Sniper" in its class to be Semi-Automatic. The PSG-1 is primarily used by elites in the Apocalypse Rising 2 community who consider themselves to be the gods of war. The PSG-1 greatest downfall is the size of the magazine and the scope swaying mechanic. Either way, when finding the PSG-1, it is like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
