Accuracy International AWM
Accuracy International AWM (Arctic Warfare Magnum) je odstřelovací puška vyráběná společností Accuracy International. Vyrábí se ve dvou hlavních verzích, jednak pro náboje .300 Winchester Magnum, jednak pro náboje .338 Lapua Magnum - neoficiálně značená AWSM (Arctic Warfare Super Magnum).
V listopadu 2009 se s britskou verzí této pušky podařilo britskému vojáku Craigovi Harrisonovi vytvořit nový odstřelovačský rekord, když v rámci války v Afghánistánu zastřelil na vzdálenost 2 475 m postupně dva nepřátele.[1][2]

L115A3 sniper rifle.jpg

The L115A3 sniper rifle, part of the Sniper System Improvement Programme (SSIP), is a larger calibre weapon which provides state-of-the-art telescopic day and night all-weather sights, increasing a sniper's effective range considerably. The first batch of SSIP systems was deployed to Afghanistan with members of 16 Air Assault Brigade in May 2008 with subsequent deliveries being made to training units across the UK. Designed to achieve a first-round hit at 600 metres and harassing fire out to 1,100 metres, Accuracy International's L96 sniper rifle has also been upgraded with a new x3-x12 x 50 sight and spotting scope. The L115A3 long range rifle fires an 8.59mm bullet which is heavier than the 7.62mm round of the L96 and less likely to be deflected over extremely long ranges.
