Description[edit]
The Sniper Rifle Artillery Piece is the smaller cousin to the Long Tom Artillery Piece designed by Armstrong Industries. As the second most-powerful tube artillery in the Inner Sphere, the Sniper can cripple or destroy most light and medium BattleMechs with a single hit.[7] The weapon has an effective range of 9 kilometers.[8] While usable as field artillery, the Sniper is also mounted on several vehicles: the Marksman, Padilla Tube Artillery Tank, Sniper Artillery Tank, and Teppō. It was also mounted on the BattleMech Helepolis, though the 'Mech proved ineffective as an artillery mount.

| Brand | Planet | Company |
|---|---|---|
| Sniper Rifle | Bainsville | Armstrong Industries |
| DAT/96 Sniper Artillery Cannon[9] | Hegemony Arms | |
