The video also touches on the Sniper System Improvement Program (SSIP) which updated ancillary gear like scopes and ballistic calculators. The L115A3 is presented as a formidable weapon for trained personnel, with a mention of Steve Houghton's book 'The British Sniper: A Century of Evolution' for further information.
This video delves into the legendary H&K PSG-1 sniper rifle, examining its development in the 1980s and its iconic status in popular culture. The PSG-1 is presented as a highly accurate and expensive firearm, built upon the G3 rifle action with significant upgrades. Key modifications discussed include a heavy barrel, receiver stiffening bars, a Hensoldt scope, an adjustable buttstock, an improved trigger, and a forward assist for quiet bolt operation. While acknowledging its impressive performance, the video notes its primary intended use was for police rather than military applications.
