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 precision rifle, as it can achieve long range headshots or hit a faraway targets like some BSAA emblems. It also has the fastest passive reload of any sniper in the game, which makes it adequate for repeatedly hitting particular enemies.
- 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.
- The PSG-1 can share magazines with its 7.62mm older cousin, the Heckler & Koch G3. Fully upgraded, the weapon's capacity reflects this, as standard G3 magazines can hold up to 20 rounds.
- The scope used by PSG-1 is also found on Josh's SIG 556.
