Description

yup, finally decided to give 1.6 a try :P
i know it's a pretty simple work, but to be honest it came better than i expected. and it did so because of these reasons:
- i'm not good with 1.6 and i rarely use it, so i was expecting some piece of crap to come out of it at any moment :P
- i was planning it as a modification with the stock only, but it all changed when i saw that cheek rest. i decided it would make for a great magwell, and then i started changing other things as well. small things, but that make all the difference in the world.


i used MS Paint to make the text and the camouflage in the bottom rifle.

now, for a proper description:
.......................................................................................................

the FFA-7 (Fuzil, Franco-Atirador, modelo 72, or Rifle, Sniper, model 72) was originally concieved as a long-range hunting rifle, but it ll changed when the USBN Commander Of The Armed Forces, General Chris, announced that the Armed Forces were searching for a replacement for the aging and rather uncomfortable FFA-7 rifles. the then-called FPE-71 (Fuzil de Precisão Esportivo, modelo 71 or Precision Sport Rifle, model 71) suffered multiple modifications on the design to make it fit for the Armed Forces, renaming it FFA-71. when the USBN Defense Systems engineers decided that a drastic redesign would be needed, they decided to modify the design so drastically that the result was a completely different rifle, and thus its model number had to be changed. the new rifle was then designed the XFFA-72, and is currently undergoing field tests. the range and range performance tests were already made, and the rifle performed flawlessy.
the test personnel state the rifle is comfortable to handle and fire, though some people have complains about the pistol grip. the rifle has excellent accuracy and power, the bolt action is smooth and the rails provide a good level of customization to the weapon. the rubberized adjustable cheek rest is comfortable, the adjustable and foldable stock folds much like a L96AW, providing the shooter with a more compact package and making it a good choice even for paratroopers.
the rifle can be chambered in multiple rounds, though the most common ones are .338 Lapua Magnum, 7.62x51mm NATO, 7.62x54mmR, 30-06 Springfield, .300 Winchester Magnum and .308 Winchester Magnum.
while military snipers prefer the .338 Lapua Mag and sometimes the 7.62mm NATO or even the .308 Win Mag, civilian shooters usually prefer 30-06, .300 Win Mag or .308 Win Mag.
yes, the rifle has a civilian version. it is being marketed now, under the designation FPE-72.

now, in the final tests before adoption, the XFFA-72 was re-named FFA-72. the rifle is expected to become USBN's standard-issue sniper rifle.

COUNTER STRIKE BRAZILIAN COPY OF THE AWP!
If you played Counter Strike, and remember this motherfucker, you know what ownage was!
Counter Strike is unbeatable, I mean, it had no respawn, you had to use a strategy and try to eliminate the CT/Terrorists, weapons were sometimes weak or overpowered, and when you where the only one in the team alive you felt the whole world watching every move you made
Thanks VALVe for an epic game of my childhood
Sorry, but I cant remember the L96 without CS
