How it's used
Refers specifically to high precision rifles equipped with optical sights for long range engagement. While often associated with military or law enforcement contexts, it frequently appears in discussions about first person shooter video games. The term is interchangeable with 狙擊步槍, though the shorter version is more common in casual conversation.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 步槍, which is a general term for rifles. Using 狙擊槍 to describe any long gun is inaccurate, as it implies the specific capability for precision sniping.
