R700 (Part 1)

R700 is the fourth sniper rifle to be unlocked. It is much like the M40A3, except it only holds four rounds, has more reliable damage multipliers, and has greater recoil and sway. However, with Stopping Power they both deal equal damage in most situations, making the M40A3 far superior if planning to use Stopping Power as a perk, and when not using Stopping Power, it has the same damage as the Barrett .50cal and Dragunov. The Dragunov being semi-automatic, having 10 round capacity and the least recoil of the three sniper rifles, (unless taking out players using Juggernaut, in which case the R700 is capable of killing them in one hit if shot in the chest or up, and the M40A3 can only kill with a neck or head shot). Being a low capacity bolt action rifle, the R700's greatest asset is its sheer stopping power. In Single player, this weapon can only be used in the level "The Sins of the Father" as a starting weapon, although it comes with little ammo. In Heat, Mac is heard providing sniper support with what sounds to be an R700.
