Hoping CCP at least gives it a look see ^^
Effective range could be a little better, honestly. Laser Rifle is a pain in the ass because of this. Enemy can back-pedal out of the maximum range and suddenly you're not doing damage.
It's an interesting take on a skill shot weapon but I think the Gallente's armament has too many skill shot weapons.
Looks good either way.

Quick update: I still really hate the short effective range and the one-shot aspect of it. If it's only got one shot and doing only 400 damage, it definitely needs a strong headshot modifier to encourage skill, otherwise I'm more inclined to use the Caldari Sniper Rifle simply because it has higher damage dealing capabilities, a headshot modifier, MUCH longer range and has five rounds - that's a lot of room for error whereas this Neutron Rifle has... none. Even if you land the shot, you're not going to kill the average high-end target (Any Proto/Heavy) which means it's likely not going to be used in PC.
Just some thoughts.

Just some thoughts. The stats are more of ideas/placeholders, not really set in stone. This picture has some newer stats, where the damage is up to over 450 at Proto. It's also meant to fire a shot roughly half the size of a PLC round, so it's much easier to hit with than the standard SR. And (if possible), we had talked about the idea of a DoT effect. Cause who doesn't love DoT effects? 
Yeah, I dunno - I personally just would use the Caldari Sniper Rifle over it. Having 450 damage with one shot as opposed to 1,200 spread out over five? Not to mention three times the range? Far more useful than trying to land a single shot and letting some DoT effects try and finish them off (which, you might as well take heavies out of the picture entirely if they're being repped).
It's far easier to put two or three rounds down-range over a -MUCH- longer distance especially when the Sniper Rifle has a headshot modifier (which would put a single shot's damage at about the neutron's base damage). This weapon, to me, just looks like a plasma cannon that shoots straight.
