Introduction

The task of a military sniper is to combat and neutralize highly important specific pinpoint targets. Sniping, however, does no longer mean sniping merely at picked out living targets. The sniper's task includes more and more the combating of very important technical facilities such as generators, radar directing centers, radio direction-finding stations, electronic installations and other similar objects. Such technical facilites are rated more and more important under tactical aspects.

The sniper being in action depends completely on himself, and therefore he must be flexible in any situation. So he needs a special weapon which has a high accuracy and does not affect his mobility (a weapon as light as possible.)

The military sniper needs a semi-automatic rifle of high fire power which enables the user to defend himself if he has been located by enemy shooters.

These and some other perceptions and experience gained from the development and production of the PSG1 high performance marksman's rifle served as the basis for the development of the MSG3 and the MSG90 military sniper rifles.

PSG 1

                - Caliber: 7.62mm x 51

The PSG-1 high precision marksman's rifle is the result of further development of the characteristic features of the HK Weapon System. The PSG-1 disproved the impressively widespread prejudice according to which an optimal firing accuracy can only be achieved with single loaders. The PSG-1 fires exactly those dispersion diameters which are warranted in the acceptance specifications of highly reputed ammunition manufacturers.

Hence there is a weapon which equals at least with the accuracy of single loaders, and also features the advantages of a self-loading firearm.
