PSG-1
First seen in GTA: Vice City (2002)1 game
Vice City's laser-sighted rifle, and the weapon its longest-range missions are designed around. The day-one PS2 release shows it as the PSG1 and every version since 2003 shows it as the .308 Sniper — two names for one Heckler & Koch SR9(T), and which of them this catalogue should lead with is an editorial question nobody has answered.
Also known as .308 Sniper.
