Quick answer
The Sporter 22 is a civilian semi-automatic rifle chambered in .22 LR. Its damage is very low compared with most firearms, often requiring multiple shots to stop infected or players, but it makes up for that with very low noise, almost no recoil, fast follow-up shots, and useful magazine options. It is best treated as a small-game, early survival, or quiet utility rifle rather than a serious PvP weapon.
