Choose the AU's sniper !

[Sgt_Doctor]

Hey folks !

I propose you something : Choose the AU's sniper. We currently use the Lee Enfield and I don't especially like the idea.

But ! The sniper must be already modelised in PR or in any BSS mod (if we have the right to use it, of course) and the proposition must be realistic !

[Sgt_Doctor]

*Cough* *cough*

Anyone ?

[Sgt.BountyOrig]

M24? Some PMC's lost it during ops?

[Stealthgato]

Mosin Nagant? Idk

[dtacs]

Yep, Mosin if the old model is still up to standard.

Failing that use the French one, IIRC many ex-French colonial nations use it as their precision rifle.

[Sgt_Doctor]

The model was in PR ?

[MonkeySoldier]

You could ask IDF for their scoped Mosin Nagant. Or modify the existing SKS of PR, by adding a scope on it. The SVD is an option as well.

[BroCop]

IIRC there was a Scoped Mosin a long time ago

AU - SSG1 or SV-98 (If China can use it AU can also (they use lot of Russian equipment in real life,
they are however not using this,but Russian Army is not using it neither,nor Chines ))

ARF - Lee Enfield

[tankninja1]

G3 with a more powerful scope, since G3 seem to be the 2nd most common weapon in more cheaply funded armies, next to the AK. Bound to be a few with a nice scope on them.

[Redamare]

well. . . SVD and G3 scoped are always good place holders but . . make G3 the main and SVD ALT . . . but as far as a FULL sniper rifle goes :l . .. . . hmm i would vote MOSIN until a new rifle can take its place

[dtacs]

The model was in PR ?

Yes, it was the sniper for Militia around 0.5-0.75.

South African R1 (FN FAL)?



Following are from District 9;

Keep it bolt action. A semi-auto sniper with the same damage as the snipers' rounds will be stupid. It can be argued that deviation will make firing semi impractical, but in that case what is the point of having it semi-automatic anyway.

Research it and have whatever bolt-action is most plentiful in African inventories, as opposed to weapons suggested via movies.

[Sabre-Oz]

The suggestion was based upon it already being on the same contenant and also the FAL already going to be in the arsenal, so the model to base it off is already there and of a standard that is acceptable.

Pictures from a film were used because there doesn't seem to be many of the R1 going around.

SADF units have apparently used the the SSG 69 if you want to use the same as another faction though and apply the same points as above. But I feel it would 'look' abit too modern for this faction.

A semi-auto sniper with the same damage as the snipers' rounds will be stupid

I would like to see Project Reality's damage be based upon the weapon, not the class.

[Wakain]

we might want to find out first if african nations have, and make use of special sniperunits.
svd's seem to be issued in pretty large numbers overall whereas it's hard to find a decent pic of a guy with a sniper rifle serving in an african country.

the (possible, mind you!) removal of a sniper class(again, if that's even possible due to pr's kit requestsystem) could lead to an even more assymetrical element in pr

[Stealthgato]

Ooh, R1 would be nice. Keep the Nagant for the Militia. Makes more sense than a Lee Enfield.

[Sgt_Doctor]

The South. Af. R1 looks fine for a marksman kit, but not for a sniper I think.

[Stealthgato]

Think it would be a nice change to have something other than a bolt-action for a sniper. Variety is the spice of life as they say.

A semi-auto sniper with the same damage as the snipers' rounds will be stupid.

Ehm... M21? Dragunov? SR-25? :/

[dtacs]

The M14 and Dragunov which are both in-game, don't do the same damage as the snipers from what I recall.

My point is a semi-automatic, scoped rifle that does one shot body kills at extreme range is unproductive for balanced gameplay
