Sniper rifle

The sniper rifle is a weapon that appears in every game in the series - Carnivores, Carnivores 2, Carnivores Ice Age, Carnivores Cityscape, Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter, Carnivores: Ice Age, and Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD. Apparently a SVD Dragunov in Carnivores and a scoped rifle in Carnivores 2, it has the highest accuracy of any weapon in the Carnivores series, making it the weapon of choice for hunting Tyrannosaurus. This is not a weapon that is of any use when encountering charging carnivores. The sniper rifle has six bullets in Carnivores and seven in the other games. The menu image in Carnivores 2 and Ice Age looks exactly like the rifle, but with a scope and a slightly longer barrel.

Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn
The sniper rifle returns in Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD and Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn as the final weapon to unlock, and is one of the most powerful weapons in the game. It looks like the Ukrainian Snipex Alligator as it also came out at the same time as Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD . This is may be the truth as Tatem Games (the owner of Carnivores Series at that time and till date) originates from Ukraine. It is extremely accurate, and will fire exactly where the crosshairs are placed. Coupled with the X-Ray visor, the sniper rifle is arguably the most effective weapon obtainable. Despite its great power, it is the last weapon a hunter would want when confronting a charging carnivore. It is also extremely loud, and will scare away herbivores or attract carnivores. The sniper rifle costs 500 gems to use in Carnivores HD, and 400 gems in Carnivores Reborn.

Trivia

 * The sniper rifle and laser rifle are the only weapons in the series with no 3D model.
 * The sniper rifle has gone through many changes throughout the series. In the mobile ports, the sniper rifle's scope is now just colored black, and the crosshairs run completely from top to bottom and left to right.
 * The sniper rifle's scope is absent in Carnivores Ice Age, and the crosshairs are green instead of black.
 * The sniper rifle has no recoil in the mobile ports.
 * In a massive update to the mobile ports, the sniper rifle underwent a couple changes. The weapon now comes with only 8 bullets (keep in mind, Double Ammo is permanently toggled on in the ports), but has experienced a whopping damage increase, capable of killing smaller predators in a single shot.
 * In Carnivores Cityscape, the sniper has only 10 shots; unlike the sniper rifles in the older games, it has variable zoom (can be zoomed in or zoomed out using the scroll on the mouse), and can be hip fired.
