- The attached Bi-pod, like the RI-17 allows for better prone position firing.
- 2 different rate of fire settings - Three shot burst and Auto.
- Designed for both Long Range and Assault
- GO AHEAD, RUN! - This is a powerful weapon, in a different way than the "Bertha" mini-gun, but powerful nonetheless. The ability to be used for close quarter combat is not a good thing. The ability to shoot long range does not help an enemy either.
- I SEE YOU THERE! - Sniper Scopes are easily fitted onto this rifle.
- HEAVY AS RONTO #$%&! - You want something strong? You have to be strong to carry it.
- DOES NOT REPLACE A TRUE SNIPER RIFLE - The SMR may be "the best of both worlds" but a dedicated sniper rifle will always beat it out in long range marksmanship.
- A (CENSORED) TO LOAD - You would think that the designers of a weapon meant to provide better mobility than a mini-gun would be easier to load. It's not. It's still a pain in the "you know what".
A Specialized Marksman Rifle (SMR) is a modern scoped high-precision rifle capable for use in both assault and Marksman roles. It generally fills the engagement range gap between a service rifle and a dedicated sniper rifle, at around 300–600 metres (330–660 yd).
SMRs, unlike the often bolt-action sniper rifles, are semi-automatic as these have higher rates of fire and typically larger magazine capacities (10, 20, or 30 rounds depending on the firearm and operational requirements) to allow rapid engagement of multiple targets. These rifles have to be effective, in terms of hit rates and terminal ballistics, at application ranges exceeding those of ordinary assault rifles and battle rifles, but do not require the extended-range performance of a dedicated sniper rifle. SMRs need to function as part of squad (and possibly at close quarters) and often share some basic characteristics with sniper rifles when compared to other weapons carried in the user's team. They typically have telescopic sights for more detailed observation and aiming, often also quick-deployed bipod for optimized accuracy, reduced recoil and better stability, and an adjustable stock for better ergonomics.
