Canister type grenades used to obscure the enemy's view of the advance or retreat of friendly troops; also used to mark objects of interest such as landing zones, mission objectives, navigational landmarks, as well as targets for artillery or air strikes.
The weapon of choice for accuracy at long distances. The sniper rifle's slow rate of fire makes it ineffective for close range combat, but its high calibre round ensures that it inflicts maximum damage against the target.
