Specifics
DSG1 Precision Rifle is the KPA's sniper rifle. It can be fitted with a Laser Pointer and can use any type of Scope or the Reflex Sight. An Assault Scope or Sniper Scope are usually preferred for obvious reasons.
Advantages
The rounds fired from the Precision Rifle do not lose damage over distance, allowing the rifle to retain its effectiveness at long range. Sniper rounds inflict severe damage, enough to kill a normal human in one hit. Players should attempt headshots when firing on heavily armored Korean soldiers, as the round may be deflected by their body armor, both wasting ammunition and alerting the enemy.
Disadvantages
The DSG1 has a low rate-of-fire, making it unsuitable for close combat. Its ammunition is rare, actually less availiable than Gauss Rifle's. Although the damage it inflicts can instantly kill an unarmored target, it is not powerful enough to be an effective Nanosuit killer. The silencer cannot be attached to the Precision Rifle, regardless of the concept art.
Trivia
The DSG-1 resembles the two sniper rifles it was modelled after; the H&K PSG-1 and the DSR-1. Both the PSG-1 and the DSR-1 fire the 7.62 x 51mm NATO rounds (although the DSR-1 can fire other calibers), so it is safe to assume that the DSG-1 is fitted for the same caliber. The texture for the DSG-1 has 7.62mm written on it near the magazine well, confirming this theory.
