The L96A1 is a sniper rifle in Battlefield 3 along with 9 other weapons available in the Back to Karkand expansion and made its first appearance in the "Strike at Karkand Gameplay Trailer." It has a faster reload but cycling the bolt is slower than with the SV98. The L96A1 in BF3 appears to be more "modern" than the variant seen in BF2 due to the shape of its barrel. The L96A1 rounds travel faster in the air and thus, the bullets drop less at longer ranges, giving it a somewhat similar bullet drop pattern to that of the M98B. It is unlocked after the Assignment Creeping Death is completed by gaining:
- 50 headshots
- 50 spot assists
- 5 knife takedowns.
It is also worth noting that the L96 was the only bolt-action sniper that could mount a Flash Suppressor (The Flash Suppressor is no longer an option as of the March 27th Patch for the PS3 or Xbox 360) When the Flash Suppressor was equipped onto the L96, the accuracy of the weapon, aimed or otherwise, was not affected at all, whereas on other weapons the Flash Suppressor does decrease accuracy.
As of the recent large update, the L96 has had its damage changed and has a new chest multiplier of 1.25. This means that within its 80 damage range it will kill in one shot to the chest. It also means that in hardcore game modes, it will be able to kill in one shot to the chest at any range.
Currently, the point of aim when scoped with any optics on the L96 is vertically offset, most likely due to a bug. This causes shots to be fired from a point above the scope center, throwing off one's aim.
