M39 EMR

The M39 Enhanced Marksman Rifle, known as the M39EMR in-game, is a semi-automatic marksman's rifle with high damage per shot, moderately high bullet speed, and very little spread. It fires one shot each time the player clicks; at maximum speed, it can fire up to 5 shots per second.

The M39 uses 7.62mm (blue) ammo.



Strategies
This gun can deal great sustained damage from a distance; as such, it is at its best when the person using it has a high zoom scope. At least a 4x is recommended, but 2x will still work.

Compared to other semi-automatics, the M39 has a relatively low fire rate, meaning you shouldn't just click as fast as possible; try to keep up a steady rhythm of shots to maximize your damage. If you don't want to wait until you find the M39 in an actual game, you can use a BPM (beats per minute) finder tool such as the one on all8.com, and try to keep between 250 and 300 BPM (between 4 and 5 taps per second).

Many players fall into the trap of using this weapon like a sniper rifle, which is not recommended since it means you can't take advantage of its (comparatively) higher fire rate. You don't need to hit every shot to deal great damage with the M39. If you fire at the maximum rate, even if you only hit a fourth of your shots, you will still do more damage than someone who fires once every second and hits every shot.
