The M40A3 bolt-action sniper rifle is just one of the many examples of modern day cannons. Designed in 1996 by Jack Cutty and Neill Goddard, and released in 2001, the M40A3 is primarily used in the Marines for long action defensive combat. This rifle can fire one bullet up to 1000 m (1094 yd), and has a five round detachable box magazine (ammo cartridge). This type of sniper rifle is produced at around $1500 per rifle.

I liked how you stated the specific group of people that use the rifle, and the situation which they commonly use it in. However, your picture isn't showing up on my computer. Try to upload it again, maybe?
