		The rifle itself could be a standard (at first typically a bolt-action rifle), but fitted with a telescopic sight it would become a sniper rifle.
		A Soviet sniper or the modern role of designated marksman is less specialized than a sniper and would be better served by a semi-automatic weapon capable of a greater number of highly accurate shots up to 800 m than a bolt-action rifle accurate to 1,500 m.
		For most rifles equipped with a telescopic sight it is necessary to have this area raised slightly, because the telescope is higher than iron sights and a rifle shooter should steady his cheek against a rifle while aiming.

		However, the older Type 64 suppressed SMG would be a viable choice, giving the Chinese AT class a slight edge by having a silenced base weapon.
