Service use

The SSG 2000 sniper rifle is a joint effort by Swiss company SIG Arms (now SAN Swiss Arms) and German company J.P.Sauer & Sohn. Production of the SSG 2000 started in 1989 and it is still in production.

Description

The SSG 2000 is derived from the Sauer 80/90 target rifle. It has a bolt action with rotating handle, but non-rotating bolt. When the handle is rotated to close the action, six lugs are driven onwards from the rear part of the bolt body to lock into the receiver. The action also features a loaded chamber indicator. The heavy barrel is hammer-forged and has a flash hider/muzzle brake unit installed. The wooden stock is adjustable. The trigger is two-stage.

The SSG 2000 has no iron sights by default and is usually fitted with Schmidt & Bender X1.5-6×42 variable-power or Zeiss Diatal ZA 8×56T fixed-power telescope sight.

gollark: And yours seems to be doing some bizarre thing where it's hardcoding a table of the different things it should print for each modulus.
gollark: You can include "fizzbuzz" and stuff inline in the python version, but not in the assembly version.
gollark: No, I mean your code also relies on the data bits.
gollark: Er, that's a bad comparison.
gollark: I'm not sure exactly, since I'm not sure what precisely your code is doing and it is hardly an apples-to-apples comparison.
