The Kahlia is a high-powered, variable-magnification sniper scope used by both CSAT forces and in limited numbers with the FIA. It was added with the release of the Marksmen DLC.
Design[]
It has a magnification strength range of 5x-11x. It has a minimum zeroing range of 300 m to a maximum of 2,000 m.
Unlike its NATO counterpart, the Kahlia eschews a top mount red dot sight and features a fibre-optic tube with tritium-illuminated backup iron sights instead. Likewise, the backup iron sight has a fixed zeroing range of only 200 m.
The Kahlia uses a tactical milling reticle with milliradian markings on both axes. It is designed to be compatible with all marksmen and sniper rifles, which includes:
- ASP-1 Kir special purpose weapon (12.7 mm)
- CMR-76 bullpup marksman rifle (6.5 mm)
- Cyrus marksman rifle (9.3 mm)
- GM6 Lynx bullpup sniper rifle (12.7 mm)
- M320 LRR sniper rifle (.408)
- MAR-10 marksman rifle (.338)
- Mk-I EMR marksman rifle (7.62 mm)
- Mk14 battle rifle (7.62 mm)
- Mk18 ABR battle rifle (7.62 mm)
- MXM marksman rifle (6.5 mm)
- Rahim bullpup marksman rifle (7.62 mm)
- SPAR-17 marksman rifle (7.62 mm)
There is also a unique variant of the Kahlia used by FIA sharpshooters that is an older and more worn-out variant. This model cannot switch between the primary scope and iron sights (as it lacks one) but is identical reticle-wise to its baseline counterpart.
Camouflage[]
- Hex: Arid Hexacam camouflage pattern. Used by Mediterranean CSAT marksmen.
- Black: Black paint finish.
- Tan: Tan paint finish.
- Black (Worn): Heavily scratched and worn-out black colour scheme. Only applied onto older Kahlias used by the FIA and civilian hunters.
Trivia[]
- The Kahlia appears to be modelled loosely after the KAHLES "Helia" riflescope (specifically the "Helia 5").
