The L96A1 (Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Precision Marksman) is a bolt-action sniper rifle. It is one of the most prominent OHKO weapons in the game.

OverviewEdit

Few weapons can rival the L96A1 in efficiency; its power, aesthetics, and sheer prowess make it a feared adversary on the battlefield. Whatever else it may lack, the L96A1's 1-shot kill capability mostly makes up for it. The L96A1's overwhelming damage can take out even the most experienced of foes in one shot before they have a chance to retaliate. It was also one of the first weapons implemented with the ability to take out several enemies with one shot. Keep in mind, however, that with a bolt-action weapon, your first shot may usually be your only window of opportunity. If you miss, you may not have a chance to take another shot before you are taken out yourself, so be careful. Despite the high damage, it is not always a 1-shot kill on many parts of the body. Against someone with a Medium Vest, if shot in the leg or arm, the gun will not do full damage. With someone wearing a Light Vest, there is pretty slim chance of this happening, but it is still possible. With a Heavy Vest, the bullet can either kill them or cause severe damage if shot in the torso.

TriviaEdit

• The L96A1 was the first 1-hit-kill Primary weapon ever released in Combat Arms. (Technically it wasn't released, because it was in Combat Arms since the beginning.)
• The L96A1 is considered to be one of the most aesthetically-pleasing Sniper Rifles in the game. It is different from other Sniper Rifles because the featured icon sports an extremely thin barrel.
• The L96A1 actually does more than 100 damage. The actual damage is greater than or equal to 119. This would explain why it still kills in one hit even with a suppressor against players wearing the Standard Vest. (The ones bought in the shop, not pre-attached.) However, the L96A1 with a Shop bought Suppressor will not kill a player wearing the Heavy Vest in one hit if the bullet hits the foot or arms.
• Getting a headshot with this gun on an unarmored opponent will do up to 900 damage.
• The L96A1 is the most used sniper rifle for No Scoping, due to the fact that it is easy to obtain, and fairly cheap in cost.
• In real life this gun is extremely accurate, even more so than the M24. But for game balancing reasons, its accuracy is poor for a sniper weapon.
• This gun lacks a compensator like its real life counterpart, which may explain the hefty recoil.
• This gun is not liked because of its inaccuracy and some people (ex. Hauser) can usually tank the bullet.
• "Every once in a while, the L96 may be able to fire two shots without reloading the bolt." Many players think this when using any such bolt-action sniper. However as stated in an old Combat Arms patch, bolt-action snipers will now automatically reload the bolt if the target is still within the scope's view.
• Nexon planned to release a permanent L96A1 for a tremendous 200,000 GP (compared to the G36E and the UMP, which were sold for 100,000 when Combat Arms got 200K Facebook fans by 10-15-2010)
• This gun will be sold again permanently for 100,000 GP in the "Best of 2010" Sale from January 14th - 18th, 2011.
• This gun is usually known as the AWM by most people who use it, namely the English Military, however, it is no longer used in favor of another weapon (the L115A3, also featured in-game).
• Because the Facebook Combat Arms Fan Page had gotten over 200k fans by 10/15/10, Nexon released the permanant L96A1. It was able to be bought on the weekend of 10-15-2010.
• Taking the "recession" into consideration, If you had bought the permanent version of the L96A1, you would have gotten a 100K GP rebate (given 3–5 days after purchase).
• The l96A1 is thoght to have a 100% chance of a 1-shot kill but the chances is 99% even though you cant notice the difference.
