Hey!
I've been messing around with some military grade gear and weaponry for some of my players.
I have the following idea for a new "base" weapon:
Large calibre sniper rifle
Attack size: Large
Range Increment: 60 metres
Magazine size: 6
Special: Requires one round to load chamber between each shot. -20 penalty to OB if fired standing up and/or without the use of a bipod for support.
Ideas, suggestions, thoughts?
The idea, which should be obvious, is to have a powerful, long range weapon, that fires slowly and inaccurately unless you've spent time to set up your position and bracing/supporting your weapon.
Keep in mind I play a low-SF setting, energy weapons like lasers and blasters don't (publicly) exist (yet,) so most weapons fire slugs, bullets and the like.
