Further Notes
- Though it is not as powerful as the Dragunov, the PSG-1 is extremely stable and has a very far range, making it the best sniper rifle, in Resident Evil 5, to achieve headshots or hit a faraway targets like some BSAA emblems.
- PSG-1 is not realistically simulated in physics - the gun has a high recoil in the real world, despite it being the one of the most accurate semi-auto Sniper Rifles. Resident Evil 5 shows it has almost none, if any, at all.
