Ballista

"Bolt action sniper rifle. Deadly from the chest up, with faster handling speeds."

- Descriptions.

The Ballista is a bolt action sniper rifle that appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It was first seen in the Multiplayer reveal trailer. The Ballista is the only sniper rifle to use iron sights through an attachment. Being a bolt-action sniper, it is most comparable to the DSR-50, abbleit having a faster bolt-cycle (RPM) in sacrifice for lower damage and multipliers. The suppressor is extremely proficient with this weapon, as it's multipliers do not change and is still capable of a one-hit kill at any range, with the additional benefit of staying off of the radar, and reducing the noise, increasing stealth. This stealth is limited to some extent however, as the bullet trail can still compromise the player's location.
