Description: As Noah quickly worked on updating the Hekler'Kok slugthrower line for the upcoming SSB Expo, Noah found that one weapon that needed to be updated was the SR-1. Looking at the first gen sniper, Noah found a few weaknesses that needed to be addressed. The first was the over weight and length of the rifle, while it was still suitable for a sniper rifle, it was still a bit heavy and long, this was cut down by making nearly all the external parts out of light weight polymers and titanium. The next step was up the modiblity of the weapon, while the old SR-1 could only be switched out with different scopes, the SR-2 can be modified with longer barrels, laser pointers and other external mods. The final thing Noah did was increase the size of the cartridge, where the SR-1's 7.62mm round could easily punch through light armor, the SR-2's more heavy 9.3mm adds much more stopping power, being able to pierce medium armor, and much more range.
Weaknesses:

• With a larger round than the SR-1, this weapon has more recoil than its younger counterpart
• This weapon is unsuited for close quarters combat being both heavy and long

Strengths:

• Unlike the SR-1, which uses a 7.62mm cartridge, the SR-2 uses a 9.3mm a much more hard hitting weapon
• This weapon has multiple different points where extra hardpoints where optics and foregrips and other weapon attachments can be added to increase its performance

So I just noticed this, recently everyone has been putting "Semi-Auto" for sniper rifles. Does anyone realize what "Semi-Auto" means? Because generally you don't want to run your whole clip of ammo with a sniper when you're trying to..you know...accurately strike them and get them with one shot.

Do you intend for this to be an assault rifle or something, because I seriously do not recommend that you do this.

Edit: And by this, I mean the common issue most snipers find when they use semi-automatics, as they end up firing more than once on accident - especially in an RP setting - as they forget that semi-automatics perform every step required to fire a bullet once a trigger is pulled for the next shot except literally release the bullet. And depending on context can mean fully automated fire.

Alright, time to lay down some knowledge on my fellow judge. Sinna, semi-auto means that you pull the trigger and a single shot comes out, you have to let go of the trigger and then pull it again for another shot to come out. Unless your keep pulling the trigger as fast as you can and before you say that is a inaccurate way of firing, that is actually untrue, some people prefer them to bolt action rifle because you can easily fire a round, neutralize your target and instead of having to take your eye off the scope and then rack the bolt, you can easily just keep your eye on the scope and engage another target.

That was actually exactly what I was saying, I'm not sure if you read my edit or not, but it has a higher recoil due to the modification that semi-automatics have in place for automated reloading. (Depending on if it is gas or not.) Either way, I wasn't sure if you were referring to the way semi-automatic rifles are made, as in the bullet is automatically loaded and ready to fire, or the common misconception of automatic firing. (Most everyone who has thought it meant automatic firing, and even official government documents in the real world refer to fully automated firing when pulling a trigger being semi-automatic, hence my question).

Regardless, that was the only question I was asking. If that's all, then this is approved, and pending secondary.
