CCP has in his pocket a misterious weapon named "Precision Rifle", probably somehow based on the Combat Rifle.

Your "Long-rail Rifle" (LOL) is too strong, the Ishukone Sniper Rifle does 229.50 HP of damage.
Even its ROF is slightly better, but it can be fine since the overall maximum range would be lower.

The precision Rifle will be based off the Tactical Rail Rifle and so will shoot faster, at a lower range with less damage.

I made a topic on 1.7 a while back and only touched on this, so now it's time for some detail.

The rail rifle was heralded as being the long range weapon that we all wanted, almost the antithesis of the Gallente weapons (high rof, low range) but instead we got the exact same gun as the Gallente AR but with a charge up time and longer range.

What gives?

Can we have an actual DMR that is a DMR and not just a longer ranged assault rifle? Have a tactical version or something even, give me a weapon that looks like this:

Damage: 275
Charge up time: 0.25 secs
Rate of fire: 60 rpm
Accuracy rating: 92.5
Clip size: 12
Max ammo: 72
Reload time: 3.20 secs
Meta level: 8

It should be a weaker version of the charge sniper rifle, except that damage is not dependent on time charged. Each shot will require the 0.25s spool up time so as to prevent modded controller jockeys. Spool time could also be increased to prevent massive DPS, although with a DMR like this, you should not be able ro put four rounds into someone every second unless you are ungodly skilled.

I agree that my stats are way too OP, I was initially aiming for a weak version of the charge sniper rifle but with lower damage and shorter spool time. How about half the damage?

Around 120~130 for the PRO version could probably work...
If you notice, there is no huge difference between the Base Sniper Rifle and the Ishukone S.R., it's about 30 HP.
So you could have 119 BSC / 124 ADV / 129 PRO

I like it, but I do worry that it wouldn't even outDPS the TacAR with the spool time. My main worry for a rifle like this is that the range will not be long enough, and something like this needs about 200m optimal to work as a DMR. Obviously it would be garbage anywhwere under 65m and the spool up would be for each single shot.

Just to clear a few things up: The Precision Rifle is generally believed to be the Minmatar sniper rifle, and as such would be a projectile weapon.

The Rail Rifle was never designed to be a DMR, it's the Caldari assault rifle.

As for the P.R., I'm aware of that but thanks for pointing that out.
And about a "DMR" version of the R.R., since there is the Tactical A.R., why shouldn't be a Tactical R.R.? Too OP?

To add to the quote, the TacAR was designed to bridge the gap between the Assault Rifle and the Rail Rifle, so it seems that the rail rifle's standard variants should all work like the TacAR with an Assault Rail Rifle variant.
