SR-25 Sniper Rifle

The Knights Armaments SR-25 family of weapons are 7.62x51mm semi-automatic medium sniper rifles in use with both regular and special operations forces within the US military. They are typically used by 'designated marksman' elements within a unit. Their ability to fire in semi-auto mode makes them suitable for urban operations where they can be carried as a primary weapon (with bolt-action weapons, a sniper would typically need to carry a carbine / assault rifle for personal defense).

The SR-25 has been used by Delta Force snipers operating in the mountains of Afghanistan, most notably during the hunt for Osama Bin Laden in Tora Bora, 2001. The various flavors of SR-25 have made their way into US military service, each with a different designation.

• US Army - The M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System
• US Marine Corps - MK 11 Mod 0
• US Navy - Mk 11 Mod 0 Sniper Weapon System
