L96 is the Accuarcy International Precision Marksman type rifle firing the NATO 7.62 x 51mm. It uses a Schmidt & Bender 6x42 telescopic sight.
L118a1 is a sniper rifle system using the Accuarcy International Arctic Warfare (same rifle as above but designed for use in colder climates) firing the NATO 7.62 x 51mm. It uses a Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 PM II telescopic sight.
L115a1 is the Accuarcy International Arctic Warfare Super Magnum firing the .338 Lapua Magnum (8.6mm x 70mm). It uses a Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 PM II telescopic sight.
L115a3 is the above rifle system but "improved" with;
- Schmidt & Bender 5-25x56 PM II LP telescopic sights;
- Suppressors to reduce the flash and noise signature;
- Folding stocks for better carrying in a backpack;
- Adjustable cheek pieces for more comfort and better eye alignment with the telescopic sight;
- Butt spikes to aid stability during firing;
- Adjustable bipods, which differ from the original Accuracy International bipod;
- 5 round box magazines.
I say "improved" because a folding stock is not usually desireable for a sniper rifle system. The L118a1 does not appear to have the above improvements but is more rugged and has a supperior telescopic sight compared to its predecessor the L96.
Naturally because of its longer range the L115a3 needs to be a much more stable system (hence the cheekpads etc) and most importantly the best available telescopic sight.

Rim Fire bullets (Rifles or guns) require a firing pin that strikes the bullet casing and the resulting explosion of gunpowder in the shell fires the bullet out of the barrel. Air guns have NO firing pin. An air valve or piston forces air or C02 into the barrel behind the pellet or BB and this shoots the projectile out of the barrel.
