Quote from: The_Gun_Nut on <09-14-10/1207:17>Weapons can only take so many modifications. Since only fully automatic weapons can be converted to HV, one has to modify the Barret to full auto first (taking 4 of 6 "slots"), then modify it for HV (taking the remaining 2 slots). By doing this, it is not really a sniper rifle, and is now a HMG.Which, of course, references a previous gripe I had with the damage codes of both the sniper rifle and HMG. It makes no sense that the sniper rifle does more damage than an HMG with a longer barrel and the same ammunition. Weapon accuracy is represented by both the range of the weapon and the proficiency of the shooter, it shouldn't get "bonus damage" simply by virtue of being a sniper rifle. For example, the Browning M2 has comparable range to many modern sniper rifles, and comparable accuracy.Bumping the HMG damage up a point or two or dropping the sniper rifle down a point makes more sense, and it avoids ridiculous situations like the one mentioned, where someone makes a Vulcan cannon out of a single shot precision weapon.and considering that the M2 and the Barret use the exact same round that makes sense, and considering that a marine came up with the idea of a .50cal sniper rifle, is just icing on the cake.my personal preference is the AS-7 with a customized load depending on the situation, (flechette for sewer work, EX-explosive for armored foes) a Salvette Guardian with EX explosive as a standard sidearm, and a silenced AP3 with standard rounds. Then again i tend to tailor my loadouts for the mission.
