PSG1

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

Overview
The PSG1 is a "Classified" weapon, unlocked after the Dragunov, WA2000 and L96A1 are bought. This classification makes it less common than the other sniper rifles.

The PSG1 has high recoil, a small magazine and longer than average reload, all while having the same damage and firecap as the Dragunov and WA2000. Some of these flaws can be mitigated by attaching Extended Mags and using Sleight of Hand. The PSG1's redeeming value is the fastest scope reset speed, or centerspeed, of any sniper rifle. This allows for a better follow up shot should the first shot not kill in one hit. Another factor that may prove useful is that the recoil always kicks in one direction, just like the Barrett .50cal, unlike the other sniper rifles which have a more unpredictable recoil. It uses a crosshair reticle with thicker crosshairs than on the other rifles.
