AS50

The AS50 is a semi-automatic .50 caliber Sniper rifle that appears in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The AS50 was first seen at Call of Duty XP.

Multiplayer
The AS50 is unlocked at level 22 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer. The AS50 has low recoil, moderately high power (a one-shot kill to the head, neck, shoulders, and chest), and a 5-round magazine. The AS50 has a unique scope with very low zoom, making the rifle more suitable for use at closer ranges than other sniper rifles. The Variable Zoom can be very useful on the AS50, as the scope retains the close range zoom, but can be zoomed in for taking out players at longer ranges that otherwise the default scope would have trouble hitting. Extended Magazines is another good option, as it will assist in prolonged engagements that otherwise would require constant reloading. On the other hand, the Silencer is not recommended as it severely decreases the chances of a one-shot kill, which is one of this sniper rifles's key advantages.
