Scout

"Lightly outfitted, the scout has supreme confidence in the power and accuracy of their M1903/Type 98 long distance rifle. Typically you'll find the scouts perched at vantage points concentrating on their next victim's demise. They also carry a pistol and ex-pack explosives which are more exciting than fireworks to set off!"
