For one thing the recoil of the PSG1 is not nearly as large as that of the M82A1 so engaging multiple targets rapidly is possible.
However this rifle is not nearly as powerful as the.50 cal M82A1 and at greater distances this rifle may not terminate the subject.
Of course the cons of this weapon is that it is nowhere near as powerful as the.50 cal M82A1 but then again it was not made to full fill the same roles as the M95, and second it's not as accurate as the PSG1.

The RAIDER™ M82A1 Shroud is one of the most dramatic modifications to meet the Tippmann Model 98.
I mean its no-were near identical, but given the shorter length of OPSGEAR's version compared to the real thing, the taller-then-it-is-wide shape of the front of the shroud (as opposed to the real thing's more equally tallandwide shape) just makes sense to the eye.
