It is true that some G-3's are refitted to become sniper rifles but mostly, the Turkish armed forces prefer Accuracy International PM, Sako TRG-22/42, SVD, and also AMR's (Anti Material Rifle) Such as Gepard, McMillan Tac-50 and Barrett M82. The reason for such diversity is extreme weather conditions. They need their equipment operational at -25F.
