Artic Warfare Super Magnum

The Accuracy International AWSM is a bolt-action sniper rifle but, unlike the other "German version" weapons, there is no Left 4 Dead 2 weapon that matches it precisely. This rifle inflicts a high amount of damage per shot - second only to that dealt out by Shotguns measured on a per-shot basis.

It has the slowest rate of fire (excluding the Grenade Launcher) of any firearm in the game and its accuracy whilst moving is very low so it is only effective against a Horde in narrow environments when standing still. This rifle comes into its own when engaging enemies such as weaker Special Infected from afar. However using it against the Witch or the Tank is not recommended due to its low rate of fire. Compared to the Steyr Scout, the AI AWSM inflicts slightly more damage per second on account of its powerful .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge.
