The '''Mk.III Shrike Sniper Rifle''' are a type of semi-automatic{{Fn|2}} [[Bolt Weapon]] use by [[Space Marine]] [[Vanguard Eliminator]]sand [[Space Marine Scout|Scouts]].{{Fn|13}}
The optical sights of this weapon can be tailored for any situation, from thermoscopic vision to precision auspex scans that can penetrate several feet of solid matter. Once locked on to, there is nowhere for an Eliminator's prey to hide. Each member of the squad carries spare magazines filled with special ammunition, tailored for every eventuality. Hyperfrag rounds detonate in a shower of shrapnel, Executioner rounds are sophisticated self-guided missiles slaved to a miniaturized cogitator that can seek their target from behind cover, while mortis rounds spew self-replicating mutagenic toxins into the flesh of a target.{{Fn|1}}
