Sniper rifle
From Red vs Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles
[edit] In The Series
Wielded by few but used to amazing effect when utilized correctly. Not many have used the Sniper Rifle, so here's a list:
- Church: The Sniper Rifle is his primary weapon but he is unable to actually shoot anybody apart from rare occasions such as shooting Wyoming in Episode 99. He also was able to hit a miraculous shot on the Meta in Reconstruction.
- Tucker: Tucker's running joke is the fact he only on rare occasions finds and wields a Sniper Rifle. He first (chronologically) mentions the Sniper Rifle while talking to Captain Butch Flowers but never receives it due to future Church killing Butch Flowers, and over many seasons he begs Church to let him use it and his prayers are finally answered when Church allows him his in return for the sword but quickly gives it back after unloading a round into Tex's ass (Bow Chicka Bow Wow!), his final appearance using it was while fighting the Wyoming clones and most because he has 'looped' through the battle so many times he uses it with extreme skill.
- Tex: She sometimes uses it but not always. She shot Lopez's head off of a turret in one episode and during Out of Mind she fired a tracker at Wyoming's warthog.
- Caboose: He finds a Sniper Rifle calling it a "tele-ma-scope and shoots Sarge (being possessed by Church) straight in the head, but gradually over time his intelligence decreases and he completely forgets how to use it.
- Grif: Grif is frequently seen using one for spying but has never fired a shot out of one. In Episode 75, when Sarge orders him to run over and find out what Donut was doing Grif responded by saying "Or I could just look through the scope of the sniper rifle, since that's worked the last 800 times."
- Sarge: While Sarge believes long-range weaponry is cowardly, he uses it to observe the activities in Episode 98 while Wyoming, Gary and the Blues are busy fighting. He has never been seen using it since. He however used it when trying to hit Grif when they return to Blood Gulch after the time travel incident (This the best game since Grifball!).
- Lopez: The only time that Lopez used the Sniper Rifle is in Episode 14, while searching for more Blues with Sarge, although he never fires.
- Simmons: Simmons is only seen using the Sniper Rifle once,when trying to get Grif down after the groups return to Blood Gulch.
