FC-SR Sniper Rifle

The Future Combat Sniper Rifle, or FC-SR, was the first precision +C-capable weapon ever developed. Created as part of Future Forward Corporation's original line of +C guns, the FC-SR was essentially a rebuilt FCAR with a longer barrel and a different, heavier frame, and still utilizes many older tenants of firearms design. It is a standard configuration rifle with a rightward ejection port, a quad rail mount and a threaded barrel for accepting suppressors and recoil compensators. It feeds from 30-Round 5.56x45mm magazines, and is capable of using magazines designed for the AR15 and its variants. Though classified as a sniper rifle, the FC-SR more closely resembles a designated marksman's rifle, using a smaller cartridge with a larger magazine capacity compared to other weapons of its type. Only slightly more expensive than the FCAR it was based on and utilizing the same ammunition, the FC-SR still sees widespread use today among police forces, private military contractors, firearms hobbyists and criminal organizations. Among experienced sharpshooters, however, the FC-SR is sometimes disparaged as an older, inferior design using too weak a cartridge to be effective at its role in modern combat.
