M917-SR is a weapon that needs no introduction, regarded as one of the best firearms in the game.

INSPIRATION

M917-SR is based on the Calico M951S automatic rifle that employs the M960 submachine gun design. One of the distinctive features is the helical magazine atop the firearm. Owing to its futuristic looks, the weapon was well-received in the movies. While the concept of a light low-recoil large-capacity firearm appealed to many, the weapon’s future and opportunities are believed to have shrunk due to the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 which limited the capacity of civilian guns down to mere 10 rounds.

IN WARFACE

Technically a carbine rather than a full-size rifle, M917-SR is light and mobile. It possesses the absolute highest rate of fire among all other sniper rifles in the game, while its damage, recoil and mag size make it a superb tool for any sniper.

Aside the fine combination of qualities above, M917-SR shows great performance in other fields as well: accuracy is on-point, and so is the effective range. The magazine carries a total of 30 (!) rounds, and you can carry a total of 60 ammo into battle. The reload speed is average, though with the magazine size it barely raises concern – the enemy team’s likely to be dead or desperately ducking for cover by the time you stop firing.

You can outfit the carbine with a variety of muzzle attachments, bipods and scopes to your liking.

ACHIEVEMENTS

M917-SR comes with two custom achievements for 10000 and 25000 combat eliminations respectively. Once unlocked, these can be featured on your profile as stripes!
