Sniper rifle/Legends

"A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. It has two zoom modes: "Up close and personal" and "Hello, you're dead.""

- RC-1207

Sniper rifles were long-range weapons, either projectile or, more commonly, blaster-based. The purpose of a sniper rifle was to kill a target at extreme distances. A blaster-based sniper rifle fired a long beam of energy, capable of killing with a single headshot. Tusken Raiders on Tatooine often used projectile sniper rifles to take potshots at podracers. A sniper rifle was used by Zam Wessell to destroy her ASN-21 droid during the plot to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala in 22 BBY.

The Tenloss Criminal Syndicate was the maker of the notorious DXR-6 disruptor rifle, which, when fitted with a zoom scope, became an especially deadly sniper rifle.
