Weapons of Modern Warfare - Remington MSR

In this episode, we're taking a look at the Remington MSR.

It's a sniper rifle, making a debut appearance in Modern Warfare 3 - and is one of two bolt-action rifles.

It is an American rifle, manufacturered by Remington Arms - and is a design intended for the US SOCOM Precision Sniper Rifle role.

Intended to replace all current bolt-action sniper rifles used by US special forces, the role was first established in 2009 - setting an accuracy requirement of 1 arc minute at ranges up to 1500 metres, and a maximum weight of 18 pounds loaded.

The Modular Sniper Rifle, or MSR - is Remington's offering for this role, and was submitted for its first trials in 2010.

Available in a variety of calibres - .338 Lapua, .338 Norma, .300 Win Mag, and the NATO 7.62x51mm round - the MSR has a quick-change barrel and removable bolt heads to facilitate rapid transition between.

The rifle is fed from detachable box magazines, available in 5, 7 or 10 round capacities.

With a folding stock and lightweight contruction, the MSR exceeds the requirements for its intended spec - at just 13 pounds, or 5.9 kilograms loaded with a 5-round mag and 22-inch barrel.

Other barrel lengths are available, ranging between 20 and 27 inches in every calibre - and with a full complement of Picatinny rails, the MSR lives up to the modular part of its name.

Accessories available include a quick-detach suppressor, and an optional folding bipod.

The SOCOM trials have yet to come to a conclusion, and so the fate of the MSR remains to be seen - however its presence in Modern Warfare 3 means the rifle won't be too quickly forgotten.

With a lightweight, modular design - this bolt-action rifle will disassemble your foe - no matter their configuration.
