Longsword Whisperhead SERSR



The Longsword Whisperhead is a weapon in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Background
The Longsword Whisperhead Suppressed Extreme Range Sniper Rifle (SERSR) is a weapon developed by Steiner Bisley.

Characteristics
This is a highly accurate long-range, bolt-action weapon that features a built-in sound suppression system that renders it virtually silent, making the shooter in cover almost undetectable at long range. The sniper can send large caliber rounds against distant targets. This is the ultimate one-shot-one-kill weapon.

Behind the scenes

 * The Longsword Whisperhead SERSR has been probably inspired by two rifles, the AIG Asymmetric Warrior for the adjustable stock and the Remington MSR - Modular Sniper Rifle for the bolt and the receiver.
 * According to the bonus 'Design Work' artbook, the Longsword Whisperhead SERSR uses the .416 centrefire round as seen on the 'Synergies Ltd.' sniper ammo box.
 * The Longsword Whisperhead SERSR has a strangely gas-piston system under the barrel like semi-automatic rifles although this rifle is manually bolt-operated, this may be to stop excess gas creating noise.
