The M-417 is a long rifle featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.
Background[]
An upsized version of the M-416, this battle rifle retains many of the same improvements over the M4 carbine. Its biggest difference from the M-416 is that it fires the hard hitting 7.62mm NATO round from a longer barrel, greatly increasing its stopping power and range.
Favored by some special forces and law enforcement units as a designated marksman's rifle.

Tactics[]
A relatively fast rate of fire combined with excellent damage per shot and long effective range lets it rip apart targets with ease from a safe distance. However, while a decently fast reload and relatively large magazine leaves it less vulnerable to being swarmed than other long rifles, it's still not recommended for close quarters and is best used from a distance, preferably with support from other survivors.
Recommended gear[]
- Glasses to further improve range, with some variants improving accuracy as well.
- Bandoliers to improve reload speed, reducing the amount of time survivors spend reloading the weapon.
Pros[]
- High Damage
- Long Effective Range

- Reloads Quickly (vs other long rifles)
Cons[]
- High Ammo Cost
- Inaccurate (vs other long rifles)
- Moderate Move Speed Penalty
