I dug up some more information because the identity of the M87ELR has been bothering me. Fans on the message board have suggested a theory that the M87ELR was supposed to be a .50 cal (like the M87R) in the planning stage, but when Slant 6 actually got around to modelling the weapon, they ended up with the model for a 7.62x51mm SSG-3000. They either were unaware of the problem or didn't care enough to fix it. | |||

Hey, to anyone out there who has played this game, is it any good?
Commando's heavy sniper
The anti-material sniper rifle used by commando is not a SSG-3000, but a McMillan M87R. It was used by SEAL's since the 1987 and appear in every SOCOM's edition as a counterpart of the Barrett M82. http://members.shaw.ca/tmcveigh/Projects/GunRights/images/m87.jpg
