Talk:L96A1

Note: It is NOT an AWP (Arctic Warfare Police) just because Counterstrike says so.

It's an AWM (Arctic Warfare Magnum), the easiest way to tell is the colour.92.16.242.226 17:39, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Whoever keeps changing it back to AWP, do you mind? Look at the gun; it's not an AWP.

I'm not so sure about the variant. How about for now we just call it the Arctic Warfare, because it might not be the Magnum. Raven's wing ^Talk17:56, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, good call. Keep it as Arctic Warfare. All I know is that it's certainly not an AWP. Just assumed it'd be an AWM anyway. Harv9001 18:03, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

The Counter Strike rifle was an AWM anyway. Raven's wing ^Talk18:05, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

True, it was an AWM rifle. But in the game files and the community it was refered to as an AWP, so everyone calls the Arctic Warfare rifles "AWPs" which annoys me.92.27.72.64 21:18, August 9, 2010 (UTC). another name besides AWM is the L96

I think the right name is L96A1 AWP or AWP Magnum. Doesn't matter if the meaning is wrong but it is still a name. Blaziken8942 12:51, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

.

It will probably be named after it's factory-side name, the Arctic Warfare. It's just like the M24 in COD4, it was named after it's factory-side name, the Remington 700, instead of it's military prefix. Yet again this is a COD game were talking about, they like to keep the weapon names short and simple. It could be named ".338 Sniper" for all we know. Elvis Thong 22:06, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

That's the point I was trying to make; call it the Arctic Warfare now, since that refers to the whole series, then change it when we know exactly what variant it is. Raven's wing ^Talk18:17, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Just leave it at whatever it is untill we have confirmation. DoltenFile:1164610-433px usmc logo svg large.png Lets Talk 18:17, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

It could be a l96A1.Sgt Sprinkles 22:05, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

I think the Arctic warfare IS an L96. Bumblebeeprime09's Quarters|Radio|Records 22:08, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Move to 'Arctic Warfare'?

I think we should move this page to 'Arctic Warfare' until more details are given out by Treyarch. Per other editors further up the page, we don't know for certain what variant this is, and it can always be moved back if it's the AW Magnum. If there asre no objections in 24 hours, I'll move it.

Be factual.

It is the AWM (Arctic Warfare Magnum). Who ever disagrees, is just plain wrong.

First of all, please sign your posts with ~~~~. Second of all, we don't have confirmation by Treyarch or Activision confirming what variant of the Arctic Warfare line of weapons this gun is. Third, please don't be so confrontational when posting. It rubs most people the wrong way. Hk37 Need help? Contact me here! 15:34, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Unitl the game comes out, calling it the Arctic Warfare magnum is a breach of the No Real Life info policy. A Lonely Nomad 15:36, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

I forgot there was a policy on that. Thanks, Nomad. Hk37 Need help? Contact me here! 22:31, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Whoever agrees it is an AWM is plain wrong. The AWM was introduced in around 1997. It will stay as Arctic Warfare, or L96A1.      16:02, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

L96A1

I might have to respectfully disagree about the AWM, it is certainly not an AWP no doubt about that.

This sniper rifle is more likely to be an L96A1 and not the Arctic Warfare variant. The L96A1 was produce in 1982 and the arctic warfare variant in 1991.

You have that backwards; it was the Arctic Warfare originally. It only became the L96A1 when it entered British service in the late 1980's. Raven's wing ^Talk19:58, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Whoops, got it wrong; the L96A1 is the Accuracy International PM, the Arctic Warfare is the Swedish commissioned version, aka the L118. Raven's wing ^Talk20:00, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Other facts that came to my attention.

[quote from wikipedia - Cold War page]

Cold War (1947–1953)

Cold War (1953–1962)

Cold War (1962–1979)

Cold War (1979–1985)

Cold War (1985–1991)

So the possibility of having the AW variant is still probable (but I don't think so, if so, I will be surprise (not that i don't want it))

Lord Deji 23:47, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

The L96 is very possible; if you look at the body of the gun and it's barrel, it appears very similar. However, unless we see the stock, it would be difficult to tell. (Also, off-topic, but someone needs to put in whichever revolver was present in the demo to the lists of weapons. I'm not sure if it was the .357 or .44, though) —Unsigned comment was added by 71.197.42.102

The revolver was a Colt Python, making it a .357 by default. Raven's wing ^Talk15:16, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

I think it should be renamed to L96A1,in codblackopsnews.com its named as said,anyone agree huh? 74.72.218.7 02:06, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

TBH we don't care what another website calls it. Darkman 4 02:32, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

What are you talking about? and if you're being immature about this please be mature. Poop copter 02:25, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

He's saying that a third party, unofficial site stated it was the L96A1, and how he could easily make his own Black Ops news site and call it the M24, stating that just because they call it the L96A1, doesn't mean it's true.

LOL File:648px-Flag of South Vietnam.svg.png SSDGFCTCT9 天皇陛下萬歳！ 02:40, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Im afraid this may be even more complicated than it seems, the AW, L96A1, AWP, AWM and AWSM are all REAL variants of the same rifle (epic proofs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare#Variants, scroll down a bit for AWSM version) therefore I propose we leave it as simply the AW for now and change it when we have an official name later. Also, Sorry Lord Deji but the L96A1 was only its original service name, it was later renamed as the PM variant. Ouroboros Omega 15:57, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

This bolt-action is the best I've seen in a while. Treyarch better fix this no-scoping/quick-scoping shit.      13:05, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

So true. Hopefully they'll make sniper rifles wildly inaccurate from the hip, or remove the hipfire reticule, like in BC2. If you're in close quarters, you take out your sidearm. It's not that hard.      16:04, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Seriously, how the fuck is quickscoping noobish? It is fun, takes more skill than hardscoping, lets snipers run around, and is absolutely NOT noobish. Ive never ever heard someone get pissed because they got killed by a quickscoper, except for you guys. And if its eliminated, then OpTic and other sniping clans will have to hardscope. Ugh, all this hate on quickscoping makes me sick. Beastly20 21:36, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Sniper rifles aren't ment to be used as one shot-one hit kill while not even looking down the scope. And you are supposed to look down the scope on a sniper rifle dumbass. The sniping clans can just sack up and snipe like real men, not pussies. Conqueror of all Zombies 21:39, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

@COAZ I know snipers aren't meant for quickscoping, and thanks for the flamebait: "And you are supposed to look down the scope on a sniper rifle dumbass." - Conqueror of all Zombies. I also know that IW switched Sleight of Hand Pro to a Teir 1 perk to make Quickscoping EASIER. If you guys are gonna hate on quickscoping, im gonna hate on your beloved M21 EBR ACOG trigger jamming bullshit that is 100 times more noobish than you think quickscoping is. Beastly20 21:48, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Well by saying quickscoping is fun, you started flamebait there. And I don't even use a sniper rifle dumbass! A simple look on my user page would tell you that! Conqueror of all Zombies ^Talk 00:13, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

I hate quick scoping! I won't buy that game if this shit from MW2 continue to here (a guest)

Real-Life info about the gun?

I just thought since this is a new gun in the series then adding info for new people to know about this gun,not that I don't know but just for other people so misconceptions can be prevented. Poop copter 14:52, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Just as I said up there, it doesn't matter. We have link to a Wikipedia article, and talking about the cartridge the gun uses won't help readers find anything out about the gun in Call of Duty: Black Ops. File:648px-Flag of South Vietnam.svg.png SSDGFCTCT9 天皇陛下萬歳！ 02:57, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

L96A1 fires a .308 7.62x54mm NATO round, not a .338 Magnum round.      13:05, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry but you are all arguing pointlessly, the AW can be chambered for .338, 7.62x51 and .300. proof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare . There is also a .50 cal version too. All the info for the caliber is in the info box and the variants section of the page in the link given. Ouroboros Omega 16:03, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

It's clearly not an AW-50, so it's not .50BMG. However, don't try to guess it's caliber, because that's both IRL info and speculation, both of which are banned. Raven's wing ^Talk21:52, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

IIRC, the magazine ammo count for the AW never exceeds 5, so it is possible for it to be an AWM. Darkman 4 21:56, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hello guys?? It uses .338 Magnum round and not the .308 Winchester or .50 BMG. Haiz..... Blaziken8942 12:54, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Because of the word realistic. We're not looking for IRL information. If the scope looks retarded, well, it's retarded. Wouldn't be the first time it happens in a video game and we shouldn't bother noting it. File:648px-Flag of South Vietnam.svg.png SSDGFCTCT9 天皇陛下萬歳！ 03:15, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

@Poop copter - If you say: "The scope on the AW is inaccuracte as in real life, it would use x." That's bad, as it cites information unrelated to Call of Duty. However, if you say: "The writing on the gun says "TreyArch is awesome"." That has relevance to the game as it is from the game, not from another source.

@YuriKaslov - ^Well, yeah.

@ SSDGFCTCT9 That's not what I'm saying,what I'm saying is this "The scope on the AWM (or L96A1 if it gets changed) has a realistic look due to the view being slightly rounded." completely game based no outside info. Poop copter 04:12, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Well, jeez, then yeah. If that's what you meant the whole time, be more specific. I thought you were talking about how the scope isn't one that would typically be used on an AW. Ok, if you want to. File:648px-Flag of South Vietnam.svg.png SSDGFCTCT9 天皇陛下萬歳！ 12:53, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Okay they're are many kinds of Artic Warfare's (L96A1) but the L96A1 is the same thing as the Artic Warfare okay well they're not exactly the same they're in the same family though but the AWP isn't the same thing as the AW same as the AWF, AWS, AWM, AWSM, and more.
