Intent: To create a long range sniper.

Development Thread: N/A Will make one if necessary.

Manufacturer: STI

Model: No Model

Affiliation: Open Market

Modularity: Scope can be removed to add a thermal scope, or a small zoom scope, while a tripod can be connected for better stability.

Production: Minor

Material: Plastoid casing with durasteel insides.

Classification: Slugthrower Sniper

Size: Handheld

Length: 6.083 feet

Weight: Overall this weapon is about 11.3398 Kilos

Ammunition Type: bullets 50 millimeter of any kind, be it explosive, stun, acidic, etc.

Ammunition Capacity: 1 bullet at a time.

Effective Range: 1800 meters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_M82

Rate of Fire: Bolt Action

Special Features: The impact, and velocity of the weapon makes it devastating, its a 50 cal after all.

Description: The HVBs is a 50 caliber sniper rifle, it's barrel has been given the tightest rifling possible to give it the best accuracy possible, but this means if water, mud, or any other foreign material gets inside the barrel will be trapped, and throw the accuracy off. While the tripod can be added to it, and give the firer the best stability possible the weapon simply can not be moved from place to place with the attached tripod easily. The velocity of the weapon alone is enough to put a large basketball sized hole into a person unarmored. The rifle's biggest down fall is the fact a singular round must be loaded into it at a time, but a skilled enough soldier can reload it easily. Skilled being anything over average. Its durable, and deadly. With the range given on the rifle, you can fire a shot nearly across the battlefield, if you have clear sights of the person. The weapons major pro is the gas system inside of it is powered to give it the best velocity possible, and range. The kick can be pretty nasty if one's not careful, leading bruises on the shoulder, and collar bone, to dislocated, or shatter shoulders. The weapon is meant to be used with care, and by the professional.

Alright, first off, my apologies for not getting to this sooner. Between work, the holidays, and EVE online, I've been sucked into a whole lot of time loss. Anyways, let's get started.

First off

Length: The barrel itself is 1.016 meters, Stock is about 0.508 meters and the body itself is 0.3302
Could you condense this, please? It makes it easier on folks who read through the submission. You can keep the broken down lengths, but please add an overall/total length as well.

Contradicts itself. Is this a thermal weapon (ie. blaster or laser weapon) or a slugthrower weapon?

Also:

Does that mean there is no magazine in the weapon itself? If so, the rate of fire would be literally as fast as the user can load the individual bullets into the chamber and lock the bolt to fire. If there is a magazine, please list how many rounds are in the magazine at a given time.


Alright, with the rest of it, I'll be blunt. Don't need a dev thread for this, but as a gun nut and after discussing a few things with my father (former USN Spec War/Firearms Instructor), here's my commentary on the gun. Please keep in mind, these are not requested edits, but are simply some helpful comments on my end if you desire them.

Keep in mind that overly tight rifling can cause loss of accuracy. A weapon that has too tight of a rifling in the barrel will overspin the projectile, making it highly inaccurate. Also, just a head's up, anything in the barrel of a slugthrower will skew the accuracy and, in the cases of precision weapons, jam the weapon entirely. Just a head's up.

You're right. Tripods give great stability. That said, you can find some lightweight tripods out there. With that said, the heavier ones give better stability when fired. Good call on the weight issue.

Yeeaah, .50 cals on an unarmored target, short of maybe a wookiee, will actually tear the target apart. That said, I only know one or two people on the board that run around without armor, so just be careful with this here. Lots of room for abuse. Not saying you will, but there's always a chance with sold weapons and the like that someone will.

Outside of that, just want you to keep in mind two things. First, the accuracy can be phenominal, but the weapon is only as accurate as the shooter. Second, specially designed gas systems in slugthrowers are great, but keep in mind that not all ammunition is designed to operate with said gas system. Variable performance can happen in those cases.

Overall, a good, solid rifle. Just make those clarifications and edits and we can move right along :p

Alright edits in places needed have been made.

As for the single round, yes its as fast as the person can reload it into the barrel, thats the point. its pretty much this big sniper that has tremendous firepower backing it up, so I needed weaknesses to help balance it out, this was the biggest one I could think of.

Okay, I kinda walked into that. Not even mad. You did what I asked, just not the way I had expected. That said, can you clean it up, please? And drop the non-metric (yes, it's non-metric now. I legitimately can't remember the other one right now) as well.

No, no you were fine, it was the parenthesis that you've since deleted that still had non-metric. If I somehow jumbled up what I meant to say, my bad. Been exhausted all week and working too much. Anyways, looks good. Approved pending secondary.
