No.9: H&K MSG90

The MSG90 was urbanized as a cost effective substitute to the PSG-1, it used the same in use structure and trigger. It features a regulating reserve, but not as conjure as the PSG-1 and it weighed 3 pounds less than the PSG-1. The MSG90 makes a great chosen marksman rifle (DMR), and in fact, the USMC appraised 6 of them for their DMR agreement.
