Sniper rifles are the kings of distance, and in COD MW3 they are also the kings of the one shot kill. No other weapon offers the accuracy and deadliness of sniper rifles at extreme ranges.
Sniper rifles are either bolt-action or semi automatic, and have some of the slowest fire rates in MW3. Generally speaking, the bolt-action rifles (L118A and the MSR) are more powerful than the semi-automatic sniper rifles (AS50, Barrett .50cal, Dragunov and RSASS). Also, the sniper rifles have established one shot kill zones, generally from the lower torso on up, although some require a shot in the upper torso on up and one of these babies requires a headshot for a one shot kill.
Which Sniper Rifle Requires a Headshot for a One Shot Kill?
The Dragunov requires a headshot for a one shot kill.
Which Sniper Rifle Has the Largest Mag?
The Dragunov, with a 10 round magazine.
Which Sniper Rifle is the Deadliest with One Shot?
IMO, the MSR is the deadliest for a one shot kill.
Which Sniper Rifle Has the Highest Fire Rate?
The Dragunov has the highest firing rate of all of MW3′s sniper rifles.

One of my favorites in the UMP45 with red dot, and possibly a second attachment. However, when the other team EMPs the red dot is GONE and you have to estimate the center when firing. The best defense I can think of is to switch to your secondary. Even though Infinity Ward nerfed the akimbo

So the topic is prestiging in COD Modern Warfare 3, which was to me – a newcomer of multiplayer Call of Duty – somewhat of a mystery. My main question was “When am I going to reach level 2 Prestige, and earn my next prestige token?” WHAT IS PRESTIGING? First, let’s define MW3 Prestiging. After

MW3′s G36C assault rifle has one of the highest upward recoils of all ARs. The only ARs with less damage are the FAD, whose higher RPM makes up for the lower damage; and the SCAR-L whose more manageable recoil profile may actually land more of the bullets on-target depending on your playing style and your

The FAD is the last assault rifle to be unlocked in multiplayer, and has the fastest firing rate (rounds per minute) of any assault rifle and is even faster than any of the submachine guns – except the PM-9 and PP90M1. The FAD excels on the battlefield as an assault rifle pumping out bullets with SMG-like

The CM901 has the heaviest recoil profile of all assault rifles in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It also has one of the longest ranges of any fully automatic assault rifle (based on min. damage range) and is tied with the AK-47 for highest damage of the fully automatic assault rifles. Compared to the

The MK14 is one of the better assault rifles with its high damage rate, balanced by its being semi-automatic, which as you know means one bullet every time you pull the trigger. The obvious downside being if you run into someone in close quarters and they have a fully automatic weapon, you may lose out

i personally like the bolt action sniper rifles a lot they offer a lot more power then the non bolt rifles.
MSR is my personal favorite.

Yep, Steve I agree. On most occasions I’ll go for the MSR, too. The semi-autos can be fun, but there’s nothing like pulling off a one-shot kill on someone’s foot/leg/hand/arm … though I usually prefer a headshot.
