The Spec-Ops AutoScout - 20 is a fully-automatic rifle, designed to fulfill a role not unlike an assault rifle. The SOAS-20 has a relatively small magazine and moderate muzzle velocity plus relatively low damage-per-second, combined with poor hip accuracy. However, it has very controllable recoil, and extremely generous damage fall-off.
The SOAS-20 is most easily compared to a weapon class not available to the Infiltrator; assault rifles. More specifically, the SOAS-20 is most comparable to the NS-11A, which shares the same damage-per-second but is superior in most other regards besides recoil.
The SOAS-20, AF-18 Stalker, and Artemis VX26 are statistically nigh-identical weapons, with the only difference found in the Vanu option's muzzle velocity, which is lowered in exchange for the faction's 'no bullet drop' trait.
Equipped with a combination chevron/crosshair reticle and 3.4x magnification capabilities, the TR's Designated Marksman Optics functions well at many ranges.
The 6x magnified S3 comes standard on many Terran sniper rifles. Its moderate zoom level and mil-dot sighting makes it perfect for mid-to-long range combat.
A compensator redirects gases upward, reducing vertical recoil by 30%, and increasing hipfire cone of fire by 15%. The added sound pressure causes the player to show on the minimap 35m farther away.
The weapon's muzzle flash and noise generation is reduced, and the player no longer appears on the minimap when firing. In exchange, the weapon's damage falls off 20 meters sooner and bullet velocity is reduced by 15%.
The rail mounted Darklight Flashlight can illuminate hostile cloaked infiltrators and dark areas but the light can give away your position. The light can be turned on and off with Toggle Attachment hotkey.
High Velocity Ammunition increases the weapon's projectile velocity by 10% and minimum damage range by 20 meters, but reduces the weapon's maximum damage range by 2 meters.
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the SOAS-20. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the rifle. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.
NS-11A, which shares the same damage-per-second but is superior in most other regards besides recoil.
AF-18 Stalker, and 
Artemis VX26 are statistically nigh-identical weapons, with the only difference found in the Vanu option's muzzle velocity, which is lowered in exchange for the faction's 'no bullet drop' trait.
