In-game description

The Clancy-Raca M4 (simply known as a Raca) is a slow-firing Warden Sniper Rifle. It is chambered in 7.62mm that downs its target in two shots and possess the longest range of all firearms.

Description

The Clancy-Raca M4 has a very slow stabilization speed and slow rate of fire. It always downs its target in two shots within its 60 meter effective range, the longest range of all firearms in the game. Although its theoretical fire rate is 0.583 rounds/s, you need to wait for your accuracy to recover between shots to be effective, this places the maximum practical fire rate around 0.16 (6s between shots) which is achieved when prone behind full cover. It slows your movement a lot when wielded. It cannot be fired while standing without cover or from an Landing APC or Barge, similar to Machine Guns.

Tactics

Due to its extreme range, the gun is the best to kill entrenched enemies, especially those with machine guns. Tank commanders also make good targets when no tank cannon can fire beyond 45m. Due to the gun's weight and very slow stabilization, you'll absolutely need to find a very stable firing position, preferably on elevated terrain and behind cover. Due to the heavy movement penalty when wielding the gun it's better to switch to your secondary weapon when you want to move.

Trivia

  • Prior to Update 0.48, all sniper rifles were chambered with 8.5mm ammunition, which was only used in sniper rifles. This was changed in order to standardize ammunition and allow for greater use of sniper rifles.
  • The Clancy-Raca M4 Sniper Rifle appears to resemble the German Gewehr 41 (M), but is purely bolt-action instead of semi-automatic, with a British No. 32 Telescopic Sight.
