"Sniper bullets according to you and the other braindead." -Jim Carroll

Well no Christmas not exactly.

I listed NATO & Warsaw Pact ammunition and asked what weapons the Syrian Army might have that would use NATO ammunition

Neither of the types of pistol used by the Syrian Army can fire Standard NATO 9 x 19mm Parabellum so the only Standard NATO ammunition that would be of any use to them would be standard rifle (7.62 x 51mm) ammunition that could be used in the Austrian Steyr SSG69 rifle (Standard Bolt Action with a 5 round magazine) one of four types of rifle used by the Syrian Army and identified by Guest999.

The Steyr SSG69 was made as snipers weapon that used standard 7.62 x 51mm ammunition all the three other types of rifle (one - Russian Dragunov SVD semi-automatic 10 round magazine; one - Romanian PSL which is basically a copy of the Russian Dragunov semi-automatic 10 round magazine; one - Serbian Zastava M91 which surprise, surprise is basically a copy of the Russian Dragunov semi-automatic with a 10 round magazine) do use special "sniper bullets" they are 7.62 x 54R rounds, the standard Russian/Soviet/Warsaw round being 7.62 x 39mm

So the 7.62 x 51mm round is NOT a "sniper bullet" it is standard ammunition

The 7.62 x 54R is the oldest bullet still used by armed forces in the world (120 years old) since the advent of the AK-47 which replaced the Mosin-Nagant bolt action rifle the 7.62 x 54R was loaded (i.e. powder charged) for use as machine gun ammunition in four forms. The fifth form is the 7N1 a bullet made specifically for a sniper rifle.
