Basically the same thing would be if it took 2-3 entire clips just to kill someone in regular gun range, assuming all shots hit. Snipers are a low reward high risk weapon if your target is competent, and a NO reward weapon when you can't kill anything.
If you thought snipers were low risk, it just proves that you've never gone counter sniping before.

You'd need the boost to be about 50% for such a pathetic range.
But on a more realistic sense damage has to scale according to the target...
Possibly the shots should do a bit more damage if the target is wearing plating or is a heavy.
Now, what I mean by this is that a medium should be 2-3 shots, and a heavy about 4-5, if they were body shots. Heashots should be about 1 for medium and 2-3 for a heavy.
Scouts now have cloaking so getting one shot regardless seems fair in comparison.

I'm assuming you've never used a sniper rifle in your life.
Assault and Combat rifles are soo much easier to kill with, that if snipers require no skill, then those bullet spam guns and their ilk must require negative skill.
