Sniper rifle

The sniper rifle, also called a sniper blaster rifle or assassin rifle, was a weapon used to shoot targets at long range.

History
Just before the outbreak of the Clone Wars, Zam Wesell used a flying assassin droid in an attempt to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala. The plan failed and Zam Wesell saw the assassin droid returning to her with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi on it, she retrieved her sniper rifle from her speeder and fired at the droid, destroying it. Kenobi plummeted toward the planet surface before he was rescued by Anakin Skywalker.
