H&K PSG-1 (RIF)

PSG-1
The PSG-1 (an abbreviation of "Prazisions Schutzen Gewehr", or "Precision Marksman Rifle") is a 7.62mm semi-automatic sniper rifle manufactured by Heckler and Koch as the marksman variant of their G3 rifle series. It was designed specifically to meet the needs of military and law enforcement organiztions.

In Resident Evil
It is featured in Resident Evil 5 as the third sniper rifle and second semi-automatic sniper rifle available to the player. It can either be purchased in the store, or found in a case during chapter 5-3. It has a starting firepower of 600, reload speed of 2.55, a capacity of 5, and a scope magnification of 0. Fully upgraded, it has a firepower of 1200, reload speed of 1.370, a capacity of 15, and a scope magnification of 2.

The gun also appears in Outbreak, used by U.B.C.S. Member Nicholai Ginovaef in a cutscene during Decisions, Decisions. He never fires the gun, instead using an attached launcher to fire some kind of medical device at Thanatos which takes a sample of its blood. However Thanatos becomes enraged and escapes before the device can be retrieved by Nicholai. The same device is used later by the Survivors to create Daylight. The gun itself is not obtainable by the player.
