Though a lot of newer sniper rifles were available to the German Army in the Twilight War, over 75% of
sniper rifle kills by the German Army were still made by the H&K PSG-1 Rifle. As newer weapons became available to the German Army, PSG-1s began flooding the police and military markets. The trigger is not adjustable, but has a variable width. The barrels are described as being “greater than match-quality,” are heavy almost to the point of being bull barrels, and have a polygonal cross-section, with a 25.6 inch length. Instead of a bipod, the H&K PSG-1 Sniper Rifle normally uses a precision miniature tripod (though it can also use a variety of bipods). In many ways, the H&K PSG-1 Sniper Rifle is a highly reworked and accurized G-3 battle rifle. The H&K PSG-1 Sniper Rifle has been in service for nearly as long as the G-3 itself, but is today thought to be too heavy for a military sniper’s weapon of its caliber, despite the great accuracy of which it is capable and the rock-solid platform which that weight provides.

The H&K PSG-1 is a semiautomatic sniper rifle meant for use by military and police forces alike. It uses Heckler & Koch’s famous roller-locking system, and claims of accuracy are superb. A special system provides for silent bolt operation (though not a silenced shot). The scope mount is designed specifically for use on the H&K PSG-1; and essentially makes the telescopic sight (now typically a 10x42 Hensoldt, though earlier models used a 6x42) an integral part of the rifle. The length and height of the stock, and the drop of the butt are all adjustable.
