PSG1

The PSG1 is a semi-automatic sniper rifle featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Overview
The PSG1 is a "Classified" weapon, unlocked for purchase after the WA2000 and L96A1 are purchased.

Campaign
The PSG1 is only seen in the campaign once; in the first and second weapon caches in "Numbers". It is very powerful, killing enemies in one shot just about anywhere in the body.

Multiplayer
Although each shot causes a high recoil, the PSG1 has fastest scope reset speed, or center speed, of any sniper rifle in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Also, the recoil predictably kicks in one direction, similar to the L96A1, and unlike the other semi-auto sniper rifles.

The PSG1 will kill with 1 shot to the stomach, chest, neck or head.

Like most sniper rifles, the PSG1 has a small magazine, causing frequent reloads. Extended Mags and/or Sleight of Hand can be helpful. The PSG1 scope uses a reticle with relatively thick cross-hairs.

Trivia

 * This weapon is not available in Zombie mode.
 * When using the Variable Zoom attachment, no matter what magnification being used, the cross-hairs will always say the scope is at 12x magnification.
 * When picked up, the user will turn off the safety.
 * Like the Dragunov and L96A1, the scope can glitch to look like the other scopes.
 * Similar to many weapons, the HUD icon of the PSG1 shows it with Extended Mags.
 * The handguard and reload animation of the PSG1 are similar to the G3 from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, this is because the PSG-1 is based off the G3.
