| Developed by B&T in Switzerland, APR 338 equipped with a scope and a strong .338 Lapua bullet. - Weapon description |
APR 338 is a bolt-action sniper rifle in CrossFire.
Overview
This sniper rifle has a similarity with some sniper rifles, because of the bipod configuration. This is also equipped with a silencer.
This gun has a notable fast bolt cycling time (on par with FN Ballista) and medium reload time. However, it draws out very slow since the user needs to unfold the stock before cycling the bolt, making this gun unsuitable for quick-switch.
It only has a single scope phase, with physical zoom applied in like MSR or M98B. Comes with a standard 10 rounds per magazine with 20 rounds or 30 rounds in reserve, depends on each version.
