The Dragon Sniper is the only sniper rifle that appears in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. It also appears in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception and Uncharted: Golden Abyss.
Uncharted: Drake's FortuneEdit
In Drake's Fortune, the Dragon Sniper is a rarely encountered weapon with a max ammo capacity of 10 rounds; it carries 5 rounds per magazine. It scopes in automatically when aimed and can be zoomed in further by pressing R3.
Uncharted 2: Among ThievesEdit
In Among Thieves, the Dragon Sniper appears more often in the campaign than in Drake's Fortune, and can carry up to 10 rounds, with each magazine holding 5 rounds. Unlike Drake's Fortune, the weapon does not zoom in automatically when aimed, and features an adjustable zoom-in ability in addition to the scoped view. Any shot above the legs will kill most enemies with one shot, except the Heavy Weapons Troops. When enemies have the weapon a red laser will appear where they aim, and dodging will delay their shots.
In multiplayer, the Dragon Sniper has had several changes made to it due to patches developed by Naughty Dog. Originally, it took two Dragon Sniper shots to kill an opponent, reduced to one shot when hitting the head. The firing rate was fast, with the player easily able to make rapid shots in succession.
Update 1.05 rebalanced weapon damage for all guns, including the Dragon Sniper. The sniper became a one shot kill, regardless of the body part hit, with the same rate of fire. The magazine size was reduced to six bullets in an effort by Naughty Dog to counter glitching with the sniper.
Update 1.06 added more changes to the Dragon Sniper. The rate of fire for the Dragon Sniper was also reduced by 10%, meaning no more rapid succession shooting.
Uncharted 3: Drake's DeceptionEdit
The Dragon Sniper returned in Uncharted 3. In this installment of the Uncharted series, the Dragon Sniper's rate of fire and max spare ammo are increased (the latter to 20 rounds in total). As well, the weapon's aiming has changed; unlike Uncharted 2, aiming with the Dragon Sniper will automatically enable the scope. Pressing R3 while aiming will zoom in the scope. Another notable change lies with the weapon's firing, as the weapon now has actual recoil, thus preventing several accurate shots in quick succession. Also, the damage has decreased. It takes two shots to someone under the head, although a headshot is an instant kill.
In the Drake's Deception multiplayer, the Dragon Sniper is no longer a power weapon limited to certain maps, but is instead a standard weapon. It is one of the four available long guns selectable for each player loadout. In terms of performance, the weapon is less of a true sniper rifle and more of a marksman rifle; the weapon has reduced firepower, requiring two shots at mid-range to kill an opponent, as opposed to the single-shot yet stronger T-Bolt Sniper, which requires one shot to kill a target.
In the singleplayer, the Dragon Sniper can still be aimed the same way as Uncharted 2, with L1 putting up the crosshairs and R3 putting up the scope. A major difference of the scopes from the actual game to the beta is the crosshairs' appearance. It was first much like Uncharted 2's scope, but then changed to a red dot.
The Dragon Sniper can be outfitted with the following modifications:
- Reload Speed (unlocked at Level 20)
- Call Out (unlocked at Level 14)
- Max Ammo (unlocked at Level 23)
- Clip Size
Combat tips and techniquesEdit
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception MultiplayerEdit
- Equip a Raffica Pistol and Weapons Expert (at least Level 2). Aim with the Raffica at an opponent and press Triangle or right on the D-Pad to instantly switch to being scoped in. Press R1 twice to get the kill. This allows you to imitate the over-the-shoulder aim of the UC2 Dragon, making it much more powerful. Even better, it only takes one full Raffica burst and one Dragon shot to kill someone. So aim with the Raffica and shoot. As soon as the burst is over, press Triangle or right on the D-Pad to switch to scoped-in mode of the Dragon, then press R1 to get the kill. It works like this: L1, aim, R1, wait for burst to finish, Triangle/Right on D-Pad, R1. (this technique can also be used with the para-9, however you'll have to pull the trigger 2 times before switching)
- It can kill armored chokers with 1 head shot.
- In multiplayer, the Dragon has much more recoil, so use different zooms depending on certain situations:
- Blindfire- Use at direct contact, or melee distance
- "Marksman" Zoom- Regular aiming, use on fast moving targets or at medium range.
- "Sniper" Zoom- Zoomed in aiming, recommended on other snipers, turret users, and enemies at long range. Aim for the head, as there is much more recoil, but increased accuracy.
Sully's Dragon enables call out, marking enemies for teammates, and max ammo, giving more bullets.
Draza's Dragon enables clip size, which increases the magazine from five bullets to eight, and increased reload speed.
Uncharted: Golden AbyssEdit
The only thing that changed the Dragon Sniper is that it now holds a max ammo of 15 rounds. The Dragon Sniper is mostly used in Chapter 10 and also in Quivira. Dragon Snipers are commonly found on both Roberto Guerro's army and Jason Dante's Mercenaries. It takes just two shots to the head to take out one of Jason Dante's Heavy Weapon Troopers. The zoom was also adjusted so that you can zoom in a very large amount and fine tune the zoom.

Drake's Deception Remastered also has a trophy of the same name and type for killing five Djinns with a sniper rifle.
- The Dragon Sniper is a hybrid of features from the SVD Dragunov sniper rifle and the Romanian PSL / FPK sniper rifle, a visually similar weapon often used to substitute for the SVD in movies. It is somewhat shorter than either real weapon.
- In Among Thieves, when Nate lines up a shot with the sniper through the scope, he will occasionally mutter small remarks towards his target such as "See ya, sucker/jackass" or "That's right".
- The Dragon Sniper is a mostly better sniper in co-op than the T-Bolt Sniper because it still manages to kill normal enemies in one hit, has a faster fire rate, holds more ammo in reserve, and more easily found.
- In real life, the Dragunov (inspiration for Dragon Sniper) and the PKM (inspiration for PAK-80) use the same bullets: 7.62x54mmR, though in Uncharted 3, the damage done by the two are different.
- In Uncharted: Golden Abyss, the Dragon Sniper is more powerful than the turrets used by Guerro's men, which in reality would be incorrect, as the turrets use the .50 BMG (12.7x99mm, compared to the SVD's 7.62x54mmR).
- In Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, the Dragon sniper is replaced by the M14 Custom sniper rifle.

If you really think about it, there is nothing new you can't think of when it comes to drawing different things. Sometimes I get stumped when it comes time to creating new exciting lessons, but after a while I will randomly think of something to draw when I'm not thinking about it. Anyways, the idea for this tut came to me when my little sister came home with a gold fish that had Spongebob's pineapple house for a cave. That got me thinking about an episode when Spongebob went to land and dried up. Because of that I thought of making a tutorial on "how to draw an island", step by step. This is a very basic lesson that will show you in a very simple way the ins and outs to making another form of land. There is only a couple trees, and a pile of rocky sand. You could actually tweak the concept any way you like so don't be afraid to experiment. That is all I have to say about this submission. Just have fun and show others what you have done. Peace folks, and enjoy.

the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 1: Preparing the Way
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was established on October 1, 1958, a year after the USSR sent Sputnik, the first earth satellite, into space. In 1961, after Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space, the new agency was assigned responsibility for meeting President Kennedy's commitment to put a man on the Moon by the end of the 1960s. Accomplishing the goal under this strict time constraint was an enormous challenge. By 1966, the 10,000 people employed at the space agency in 1960 had grown to 36,000. NASA's annual budget increased from $500 million in 1960 to a high point of $5.2 billion in 1965, 5.3 percent of the federal budget for that year. Approximately 50 percent of that amount went directly for human spaceflight; the vast majority of that went directly toward Apollo. The project eventually cost $24 billion. According to John Noble Wilford, space correspondent for the New York Times, Apollo was the "greatest mobilization of men and resources ever undertaken for a peaceful project of science and exploration."¹
When NASA began operations in October of 1958, it absorbed into it the earlier National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics intact; its 8,000 employees, an annual budget of $100 million, three major research laboratories--Langley Aeronautical Laboratory, Ames Aeronautical Laboratory, and Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory--and two smaller test facilities. It quickly incorporated other organizations into the new agency, notably the space science group of the Naval Research Laboratory in Maryland, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory managed by the California Institute of Technology for the Army, and the Army Ballistic Missile Agency in Huntsville, Alabama.
With the advent of Apollo, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory took over responsibility for developing the necessary guidance and communications technologies and for learning more about the lunar environment. The Marshall Space Flight Center was formed around the Army's ballistic missile team at Redstone Arsenal, which was led by Dr. Wernher von Braun and the other engineers who had developed the first successful rocket, the German V-2. Marshall was responsible for building and testing the rockets to power the spacecraft.
NASA created three new facilities specifically to meet the demands of the lunar landing program. In 1962 the agency built the Manned Spacecraft Center (renamed the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in 1973), near Houston, Texas, to design the Apollo spacecraft and the launch platform for the lunar lander. This center also became the home of NASA's astronauts and the site of mission control. The scientists and engineers in the control room monitored all the details of the moon flight once the rocket was launched. The Launch Operations Center (renamed the John F. Kennedy Space Center in 1963) at Cape Canaveral on Florida's eastern seacoast was greatly enlarged. All of the Saturn/Apollo rockets were assembled in Kennedy's huge 36-story Vehicle Assembly Building and fired from Launch Complex 39. Finally, in October 1961, NASA created the Mississippi Test Facility, renamed the John C. Stennis Space Center in 1988. It was here that the Saturn rockets were tested. The cost of this expansion was great, more than $2.2 billion over the decade.
NASA's leaders made an early decision to rely upon outside researchers and technicians to complete the Apollo project. Between 80 and 90 percent of NASA's overall budget in the 1960s went for contracts to purchase goods and services from private industry, research institutions, and universities. Contractor employees working on the program increased more than 10 times, from 36,500 in 1960 to 376,700 in 1965. NASA found that this was both good politics and the best way of getting Apollo done on time. It was also very nearly the only way to harness talent and institutional resources already in existence in the emerging aerospace industry and the country's leading research universities.
More than 500 contractors worked on both large and small aspects of Apollo. For example, the Boeing Company was the prime contractor for the first stage of the Saturn rocket, North American Aviation for the second stage, and the Douglas Aircraft Corporation for the third stage. The Rocketdyne Division of North American Aviation was responsible for the rocket engines and International Business Machines for the instruments. These prime contractors, with more than 250 subcontractors, provided millions of parts and components for use in the Saturn launch vehicle, all meeting exacting specifications for performance and reliability.
Getting all of these people to work together challenged the men and women responsible for managing the program, whether they worked for the Federal Government, a private industry, or a university. According to Dr. Leonard R. Sayles and Dr. Margaret K. Chandler of the Graduate School of Business at Columbia University, NASA's most significant contribution was "getting an organizationally complex structure, involving a great variety of people doing a great variety of things in many separate locations, to do what you want, when you want it--and while the decision regarding the best route to your objective is still in the process of being made by you and your collaborators."²

Democrats want to make Sen. Ted Cruz pay a political price for his threaten to use procedural tools such as the filibuster to block any gun legislation.
The latest broadside: The top Senate Democrat himself has gotten involved to accuse the freshman Republican from Houston of flip-flopping on the issue of background checks.
A video posted to the Senate Democrats' YouTube account by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid suggests that in January, Cruz declared his support for strengthening background checks.
"Right now, a lot of states, a lot of local jurisdictions, are not reporting criminal convictions, are not reporting mental health barriers to gun ownership, and so the federal database is not nearly as good as it should be," Cruz told Fox News on January 6.
The Reid video displayed a headline from the DC newspaper The Hill declaring: " GOP Sen. Cruz calls for strengthening background-check system for gun sales."
Cruz told Politico that Democrats are twisting his words.
"Senate Democrats are blatantly misconstruing Sen. Cruz's record to distract to distract from how extreme they are on gun control and how out of touch they are with the American people," Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier told Politico.
Frazier said Cruz's comments were in reference to problems with the background check system that is already in place, not expansion of background checks.
"This is completely different from liberals' effort to expand background checks to any individual that would seek to own a firearm," Frazier said. "Democrats' proposed legislation would require universal background checks for private sales between law-abiding citizens, which according to DOJ would be effective only if accompanied by a national gun registry – a measure that raises serious constitutional concerns."
The Hill's coverage in January makes it clear that while Cruz did support improving the background check database, he opposed Democrat's push for gun control.
"Within minutes, we saw politicians run out and try to exploit this tragedy, try to push their political agenda of gun control," Cruz said in the article, referring to the Newtown shooting. "I do not support their gun-control agenda."

Looks like Simon Cowell is losing one of his angels: Demi Lovato is leaving "The X-Factor," according to People.
But is there even a show left to leave? While a source at People says Lovato is hoping to return to music full-time, a source close to the show told E! News exclusively that there might not even be a fourth season of the Fox reality series.
It's no secret that "X-Factor" ratings have been down and despite judge/executive producer Cowell's instance that the series will return, Fox has made no such decision regarding "The X-Factor's" fate and had no comment on Lovato's reported exit.
U.S. & World
NEWS: "The X-Factor's" Kelly Rowland is engaged
Lovato joined the show for season two alongside Cowell, Britney Spears and L.A. Reid. Spears and Reid departed following the second season, but Lovato stayed on board with Cowell and was joined by Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio.
News of Lovato's exit come on the heels of Cowell's instance that "The X-Factor" will return for a fourth season despite falling ratings. Cowell has gone on record saying the show will return and he'd likely have a new role.
"We'll be coming back in the US next season, but my role on the show may change," Cowell told Mashable.
READ: 26 signs you're a Britney Spears superfan.
This isn't the only judging shakeup The X Factor has seen. Prior to even airing, the Fox series went through a panel shakeup when Cheryl Cole left as a judge and then-host Nicole Scherzinger was moved to the table. After season 1 of the series, Scherzinger and Paula Abdul left the series--as did host Steve Jones--and season 2 began with Lovato, Spears, Cowell and Reid, and hosts Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez. Kardashian left the show after the second season.
The season three finale of The X Factor airs on Thursday, Dec. 19 at 8 p.m. on Fox.
