PSG1

The PSG1 is a long rifle featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.

Background
The German Präzisionsschützengewehr ("precision-shooter rifle") was born in the wake of a great tragedy which highlighted the need for a fast-firing yet still accurate rifle. Even several decades after it was first designed, many snipers would say that it still adequately fulfills that need.

An expensive firearm used in small numbers by elite law enforcement and military units.

Tactics
A shorter ranged, higher RoF version of the M-24, the PSG1 weapon is far more effective against zombies due to its faster rate of fire and smaller minimum effective range. However, its shorter range makes it a less effective raiding weapon, where range is just as important as raw damage.

Pros

 * Very High Damage
 * Long Effective Range
 * Reloads Quickly (vs. other long rifles)

Cons

 * High Ammo Cost
 * Low RoF
 * Moderate Move Speed Penalty (vs. other long rifles)
 * Inaccurate (vs. other long rifles)
