US Special Operations Forces (SOF) snipers are proficient at sniping from unstable platforms such as boats and helicopters.
Snipers in helicopters are often used to provide over watch over maritime operations such as the boarding of ships and oil and glass platforms.
A military variant of the Knights Armaments SR25, the MK11 Mod 0 is a 7.62mmx51mm semi-automatic weapon which features a bipod, accessories rail and is often fitted with a sound suppressor.
