M24
Talk16this wiki
The M24 SWS (Sniper Weapon System) is used by the snipers in the U.S. Army. The M24 SWS is the military and police variant of the Remington 700, M24 being the model name assigned by the United States Army after adoption as their standard sniper rifle in 1988. The M24 is referred to as a "weapons system" because it consists of not only a rifle, but also a detachable telescopic sight and other accessories.

Edit
The M24 is the default sniper rifle for the USMC. The M24 is the most accurate zoomed weapon besides the EU L96A1 in the game and tied for most damage per single shot with the M95. This accuracy and damage comes with a price; small ammo load and long cycle time between shots, and the need to re-zoom after every shot.
Try to aim for the head on stationary targets, since a head shot is an instant kill, if you know the player has been shot before, aim for the chest or higher. If your target is running, you'll need to lead the target, and aim for the chest, you will be more likely to hit him than you will be if aiming for the head. Keep in mind this gun is bolt-action, meaning it will take time to retract and reinsert the bolt after firing. So make sure you take time to line up your shot and make it count the first time. You'll have to take your eye away from the scope after firing, so you'll also lose your track on the target. It is often worth making one M24 shot and then follow it with one pistol hit for a kill.
Battlefield 2: Special ForcesEdit
In Special Forces the M24 is issued as the default to the British SAS and United States Navy SEALs and has identical stats to the M24 in the base game.

The M24 is the default sniper rifle for the U.S. Army Recon class. Much like the other bolt-action sniper rifles, the M24 takes one shot to kill with a headshot and two to the body, just like in Battlefield 2. Its Russian counterpart is the SV-98 Sniper Rifle and the MEC's counterpart is the GOL sniper rifle.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Edit
Only available in multiplayer, the M24 Sniper is the default sniper rifle for all Recon players. Despite being the first Recon weapon available, the weapon inflicts high damage (headshots at any distance and any shots at close range are instant kills, while other shots at long range require two hits). This comes at the cost of low rate of fire with the bolt action and a small 5-round magazine. The M24 is equipped with a 6x telescopic scope by default, however a 4X Rifle Scope, 12X High Power Scope, Red Dot Sight, and/or spotting scope can also be used. The weapon has slight bullet drop and flight time to reach targets at extremely long ranges, which means that the player must anticipate the movement of the target and lead the shots as well as aim slightly upwards. Attaching a Red Dot Sight or 4X Rifle scope to the weapon will cause the bullet drop to seem to disappear (due to the player tending to engage at closer ranges), although it is still present. The 6x and 12x scopes magnify the bullet drop as well as the target.
The M24 is best suited for medium-long range combat, being able to easily win in a firefight at that distance. Its high magnification scope also means that spotting enemies with the weapon is very easy. The M24 has limited effectiveness in close quarters because of the low fire rate, however the target will be killed if hit with one shot. Because of its effectiveness, new players may find this the easiest sniper rifle to get used to and many players continue to use this as their main sniper rifle even after unlocking all the other Recon weapons.

Elite's M24Edit
M95; these benefits make this gun a great choice for snipers especially in larger maps like Oman, but it comes at a high cost of 850

Trivia Edit
- Owners of new copies of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 that have entered their VIP codes into the game and played at least one online match have the opportunity to unlock the M24 in Medal of Honor from the start.
- Unlike it's in-game stats in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the M24 does the same damage as the SV98 and the GOL (100-50). Its only difference between them is its accuracy and fire rate. It is more accurate than the SV98, but slower firing than it - as well as having half the magazine size. It can fire faster than the GOL, but the GOL's accuracy is superior.
- In first person view, the M24's scope is camoed together with the rifle. However, if the player dies and the kit is available for pick up, the M24's scope is seen to be black in colour.
