Capsule:
This rifle was designed from the ground up as a sniper rifle for urban
applications. No expenses were spared in the design and construction of
the S-7. The .300 Winchester Magnum was chosen because of its long range
accuracy and its consistency at all ranges. The entire rifle is designed
around the barrel and the attached integral silencer. A composite resin
fiberglass stock configured in the "bullpup" style allows a compact weapon
while still maintaining a 25" barrel. The silencer extends roughly 9" out
past the barrel, roughly 60% of it's total length of 15". At a total
length of 41.3" (105cm) the S-7 is almost as long as a non-bullpup rifle.
Weighing in at a fairly hefty 11.53 lbs (5.23Kg), the S-7 is best used
with its attached bipod.
The firing mechanism is located near the middle of the rifle, roughly 10"
(25.4cm) from the rear of the weapon. This prevents the operator from
extending his arm out very far, giving him better control over the weapon
and steadying his aim. The 10 round magazine is inserted just behind the
trigger assembly. Rounds are ejected down and right (or down and left
depending on whether the operator is left or right handed) to facilitate
round policing.
The S-7 was designed specifically for the needs of the Heiter Securities
SWAT snipers. A rifle was needed that could be used to take out sentries
and allow the assault team to do their jobs without alerting the other
terrorists. It performs admirably in it's job function. Though somewhat
limited in range by it's integral silencer and it's urban application, the
S-7 has a maximum effective range of 1000 yards (915 meters). Only 30 S-7's
were ever made, and 28 were delivered to Heiter Securities. Two are currently
known to be in private hands.
Scope:
Attached to the top of the S-7 is a Heiter Tech TTS-4 Infrared-Nightvision
combination telescope. A fairly large telescope, the TTS-4 is 14.3" (36.3cm)
long and 5.7" (14.5cm) in diameter. Zoom is adjustable in 1x increments from
2x to 10x. The reason for the bulkiness of the scope is it's two extraordinary
abilities: infrared detection and ambient light amplification (aka nightvision)
two functions rarely seen in telescopes. In infrared mode, the scope captures
the heat coming from the body of the target and translates it into a clear
picture. The incadescent green crosshairs show up clearly, giving the sniper
a very accurate bead on his target. In nightvision mode, the scope picks up
ambient moon or starlight and magnifies it 10,000x. Nightvision mode is useless
in complete darkness. The lenses are polarized to prevent the operator from
being blinded if the ambient light suddenly increases (ie, someone shines a
searchlight at the sniper). Unlike infrared mode, nightvision mode is not
defeated by things such as glass panes, and is used whenever shooting through
cover is needed. Even though infrared has this disadvantage, it is the most
widely used of the two modes. The infrared and nightvision modes can be
turned off, allowing the scope to be used like any other optical scope.
