English: Pictured in an armoury is the 7.62mm Sharpshooter Assault Rifle fitted with the ACOG 6x48 Optical Sight and MilSight S135 Magnum Universal Night Sight (MUNS).
It provides quick and precision fire at point targets beyond that of normal issued section and personal weapons.

Fitted with the ACOG Optical sight for long range engagements in the hands of marksmen. The sharpshooter rifle has improved the long-range firepower available on the front line. The rifle fires a 7.62mm round and has enhanced accuracy of engagement during longer-range firefights. This weapon is used by some of the best shots in the infantry. L129A1 is magazine fed, direct gas operated and has a semi-automatic capability. It has a high rate of accurate rapid fire out to greater distances, it can be fitted with the Advanced Combat Optical Gun Sight (ACOG) or Magnum Universal Night Sight (MUNS). It weighs 5.0kgs, has six positional telescopic adjustable butt, it is also fitted with a Rail Adapter System (RAS) for the fitting of day and night sighting systems and for ancillaries such as the bipod, down grip and bayonet adapter.
