L96A1

The L96A1 is a bolt-action sniper rifle featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops. The L96A1 is featured only in multiplayer and zombies, and is the only bolt-action sniper rifle in-game.

Multiplayer
The rifle is very strong, being a one shot kill to the head, neck, upper body, lower body and shoulders. A shot to the arms and legs requires two hits to kill, making the sniper the most reliable for one shot kills. The weapon has, however, very high recoil and a low rate of fire. It also has the highest amount of sway of all the sniper rifles. This follows the trend given to most bolt-action sniper rifles in the Call of Duty series, such as the R700 from Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and the Intervention from Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The L96A1 is unlocked for purchase at Level 27, costing. It utilizes the semi-unique SUSAT scope when equipped with the ACOG scope, like the Enfield.

Due to the fact that it is the only bolt action sniper rifle in the game (which were always popular), the L96 is the most commonly used sniper rifle, although the sniper rifles themselves are very rare.

Attachments:

 * Extended Mag
 * ACOG Sight
 * Infrared Scope
 * Suppressor
 * Variable Zoom

Zombies
In Zombies mode, it is available out of the mystery box, and is a one-hit-kill in the early rounds, but can be fairly awkward to use, due to the low hip-fire accuracy, low rate of fire and the high zoom on the scope, and at higher rounds it takes several shots to kill. It is named the "L115 Isolator" when Pack-a-Punched, where it gains more power and a Variable Zoom scope.

Trivia

 * The L96A1, like the L86 LSW and the Enfield, uses the SUSAT instead of the ACOG Scope.
 * When certain camouflages are applied, the color of the stock is changed (e.g. gold camouflage).
 * Players have found that using the Variable Scope on full zoom or the SUSAT scope with the L96A1, makes it a little more accurate when "no-scoping" or "quickscoping." This is probably just a rumor and not truly fact.
 * Like the L86 LSW of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the L96A1 features a rear monopod which has no use.
 * Like most other Pack-A-Punched weapon names, the L115 from Zombies mode is most likely a reference to Element 115.
 * Oddly, an L96A1 is more powerful than any MW2 sniper with Stopping Power. This is probably to compensate the lack of said perk in Black Ops.
