Please take the scope off the sniper rifle.
I'm feeling a bit saucy and pining for the 18th century my good sir. I am throwing down the gauntlet with a hardy harumph! I challenge anybody to a manly duel with muskets in the courtyard lest you scurvy dogs be cowards!
Wait, I just went from gentleman to pirate somehow. Anyway, down a fine finger of scotch and pick your scope-less (is that even a word?) sniper musket.

Can we get single shot pistols CCP, with insane damage?
Like 1000 damage per shot but an 8 second reload time?
Flintlocks would be soooooo fun. |

WARNING, THIS COMES STRAIGHT FROM WIKI.
The first experiments directed to give shooters optical aiming aids go back to the early 17th century. For centuries different optical aiming aids and primitive predecessors of telescopic sights were created that had practical or performance limitations.
The first documented telescopic rifle sight was invented between 1835 and 1840. In a book titled The Improved American Rifle, written in 1844, John R. Chapman documented the first telescopic sights made by Morgan James of Utica, NY. Chapman, the author, being a civil engineer, gave James the concepts and some of the design, whereupon they produced the Chapman-James sight. In 1855, William Malcolm of Syracuse, NY began producing his own sight. Malcolm used an original design incorporating achromatic lenses like those used in telescopes, and improved the windage and elevation adjustments. They were between 3X and 20X or greater. Malcolm's and those made by Mr. L.M. Amidon of Vermont were the standard during the Civil War.[1][2]
