The bulky EM4 Longshot's overclocked propulsion coils allow for projectiles that both travel faster and hit harder in comparison to other bolt-action sniper rifles. Best for long range engagements from Height,Loophole, or Distraction positions. Bullet drop becomes a factor after 183 meters/200 yards. When used in a sniper team, two body shots will dispatch an average enemy at up to player render distance. Would recommend the 6-12x Scope for estimating distance, target speed and bullet drop. Average engagements happen with this rifle at about 200 to 400 yards (about a two to three dot hold). The average target speed (running) is a three dot lead, go for a body shot as you already have the range and target speed so a follow up shot should be relativly easy.

Ribbons and Medals

It is possible to get both Ribbons and Medals for using the EM4 Longshot. Each Ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the Longshot. Medals relate to how many overall kills you have with the Longshot.
