The PM Super Magnum, or Super Magnum (SM) as it is now known, is essentially an Artic Warfare rifle upgraded to accept the high power cartridges, especially the .338 Lapua. The barrel is slightly longer to take full potential of the .338, and the range is increased signifcantly. This rifle is approaching the range of the .50 cals, but yet its only slightly heavier then the standard 7.62mm version of the rifle. Accuracy of all the AI rifles gets down around .5 MOA.
Several military forces around the world are adopting the Super Magnum as a special purpose sniper rifle. The U.K. was one of the first and has designated the rifle L115A1 and uses it as a "platoon level support weapon".
