If the Minmatar gets a racial Sniper Rifle and it isn't Bolt Action, I'm going to cry alittle. Maybe alot. Haven't decided yet.

Allotek Burst Bolt Sniper...
I want my Gallente plasma sniper!
Gallente will probably get a Tactical Rifle/Marksman Rifle if they get a Sniper Rifle due to the inherant short range and rapid fire attributes of Blaster tech. Maybe taking the Tactical Blaster Rifle and making it it's own gun? But where would that leave the Scrambler Rifle? It would still have charge though to differentiate... need other opinions now, I'm stuck.

Making Charged Caldari makes since given that all rail weapons so far (sans other Sniper variants) have had to charge. Even the Rail Rifle. I'm pretty sure that the Charged Sniper IS Breach however, for Snipers anyway. Fits the Caldari model and the Breach model of more damage per clip but less DPS.
Minmatar would, in my little world, have variable rounds to chamber, be Anti-Material like a .50 caliber rifle (complete with Experimental Rifle bullet drop), or be single shot-decent reload-more damage per shot (basically Breach, yea).
Gallente would be like the TAR, but more range and abit less clip. In fact, we could just take the TAR and call it the Blaster Marksman Rifle and no-one would bat an eye.
Amarr I'm unsure about. The Scrambler Rifle is the closest thing to a Marksman Rifle we have ingame, so making an Amarr Sniper Rifle would be tricky without outmoding the basic Scrambler Rifle. Probably give it a further Shield bias, because longer ranged lasers do more shield damage and less armor damage, make it long ranged and designed for painting targets for allies by removing their shields quickly? I've got no real ideas for Amarr :c

minmatar makes sense as either bolt or hammer action for that DIY feel
I always thought an amarr sniper would be another laser type, prehaps one that sends high damage pulses across an ionized beam
As for gallante what if you made it a shorter range version of the current caldari? I think the Laser is the Amarr sniper rifle. Its a bit short range isn't it? I thought we would get another weapon type for all races that got better the longer you fired! Imagine a plasma lmg that gets faster the longer you fire, or a minmatar that got less recoil, or caldari lmg that increased range as you fired it! It's pretty long range compared to the other rifles. I doubt ever sniper variant is going to have Caldari level range anyway. As far as weapons that have extra effects the longer you fire, I'm still hoping on a Gallente flame plasma thrower.
Plasma Torch sounds much more refined :3
