Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/Covert sniper

The Covert sniper is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas Mod Fallout: The Frontier.

Background
The Covert Rifles was adopted by the US military in 1903, as the Springfield Model 1903.

Characteristics
The weapon is a modified M1903 Springfield rifle with an attached scope that's been heavily camouflaged through the usage of attached foliage and a new paint scheme. A pad has been attached to the stock of the gun to allow for some comfort when looking down the scope for long periods of time. The gun also appears to have an integrated suppressor within the barrel that muffles the noise of shots being fired from it.

Durability
The firearm is capable of firing 1695 rounds, or the equivalent of 339 reloads, from perfect condition before breaking.
