A Sniper Rifle is a long barreled, rifled weapon, mainly used for assassination. They generally use solid bullets, but some lasguns are lengthened to make them more accurate. Most weapons have specialist sites added on to enable them to pick out specific targets such as officers.

Sniper Rifles are given to snipers and large groups of them can hold back enemy forces, making them duck their heads while others advance across the battlefield.

Both Imperial and Eldar forces use sniper rifles to great effect.
