The GOL Magnum was patched to have 60 RPM rate of fire.

Because of this, the weapon is widely used among Recon players.

The GOL can be considered the most accurate sniper rifle in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 as it has no idle sway, unlike every other sniper rifle in the game.

The GOL has no camouflage despite the in-game image depicting it does.

This was probably due to the GOL having a damage of 100-70 before all the bolt-action rifles were patched and balanced. Its damage stat is also incorrect as - along with the other bolt-action snipers except the M95 Sniper - it should be the same as the SV98 and M24 Sniper since they all have the same damage value (100-50). It does have its very high accuracy, but the bolt-action sniper with the fastest cycle is the SV98 Snaiperskaya.

Despite the in-game stats, the GOL does not have the fastest rate of fire for the bolt-action snipers.

The PS3/Xbox 360 1.04 Patch has fixed the issue, however, the issue still exists on PC. Many players found this irritating and just used its normal 6x or 12x scope. The GOL used to be glitched, as when a player opted for a 4X Rifle Scope or Red Dot Sight, the gun would have had a thick black line extending from the bolt of the gun to a point under the map, possibly due to a missing mesh in the game files.

The GOL Sniper Magnum also has no scope sway on consoles, though it suffers this on the PC version. The GOL Sniper Magnum is best suited for medium-long range combat and should not be used at close range unless absolutely necessary or forced to. It should be noted that it is the only sniper rifle whose scope does not have mil-dots (though this has little effect unless engaging targets at extreme distances, such as at Arica Harbor). It may also be fitted with a Sniper Spotting Scope, although this attaches to the scope, and does not replace it. The weapon has a 6x magnification scope by default, though the scope can be replaced by a Red Dot Sight, a 4X Rifle Scope or a 12X Zoom Scope.

This weapon is very helpful in extreme distances because the thin crosshairs of the scope make it easier to line up against targets. The weapon has slight bullet drop and bullet travel time so to consistently hit targets at extreme distances will require leading the shots and aiming slightly higher above the target. Headshots from any range and close range shots are one hit kills while other shots to the body at longer ranges are two hit kills. It is an extremely accurate, bolt-action sniper rifle capable of neutralizing targets at medium to long range. The GOL Sniper Magnum is a weapon featured in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, being the fifth sniper rifle issued to the Recon kit requiring 21,000 points to unlock. Its long range and pinpoint accuracy makes it the rifle of choice with German police agencies and counter terrorist units.'

'With outstanding accuracy this rifle provides exceptional performance in difficult situations.
