Description- A modern version of the classic rifle from the 1860's, considered to be the gun that won the West.  Up to 8 shot's can be loaded, and it has a scope to improve accuracy.

    There is currently an even going on that allows you to get the M1866 sniper (if you're wondering) for free.  All you have to do is get 100 kills(with any weapon) on the following maps.

• Kill Creek
• Costa Recon
• Roadkill
• Snow Valley
• Ghost Town

    Doing this, is actually really easy,  and you can get this gun five times if you get 100 kills on each of these maps.  I already got two of them in about an hour.  I'm not sure if you can get it more than once on a map.

  
    Now to the review!  The M1866 looks amazingly good stat wise.  I believe it has the highest damage out of all 100 accuracy snipers at 95.  Most times, it will be a two hit kill.  But it will often be a 1 shot kill in the back, or if they are damaged even a little bit.  The damage is definitely nothing to worry about on this gun.
    Next is portability, it's one of the fastest you can get on a sniper at 35.  Sniper wise, it's like an SMG, but it's a little heavy gun wise.  You probably don't want to be running around with it that much, or any sniper in general.
    The Rate of Fire is definitely one of the best parts about this gun.  It is a 35 and basically shoots as fast as you can click.  It's like a shotgun.  You might be thinking that this gun is perfect for close quarters.  Well, it can be...if they're a foot in front of you.  Then you can spam away and almost be guaranteed a kill.  I tried taking this into a snipers only game on Junk Flea.  It didn't work out to well.  Also, the reloading is also very unique for a sniper, it reloads like shotgun, so you are able to shoot mid reload.  That was very useful in the Snipers only game because I was constantly reloading and shooting.  It was awesome.
    Accuracy is 100.  You pretty much now what you're getting there.  Something that definitely helps out the accuracy is the scope it comes with.  It is very different from the other sniper scopes you might see.  It's pretty much a really magnified ACOG.  It's a tiny red dot sight that is perfect for headshots.  I don't know if it's just me, but it seems that the scope is a little more sensitive than most other sniper scopes.  It's probably just because it's pretty magnified.
    Recoil is 66.  I wouldn't worry about it on any bolt action snipers.  It's not even that bad though.

    Overall, this gun is a lot of fun to use because of how different it is compared to all the other snipers.  It's sort of like a sniper/shotgun hybrid.  It's a pretty deadly gun and I would definitely recommend it.
