A 'long range' weapon certainly, but this oprah style "EVERY RACE GETS A SNIPER, AND NEXT EVERY RACE GETS A SHOTGUN, LASER SHOTGUNS, LASER SNIPERS, PLASMA SNIPERS, RAIL SHOTGUNS!!!" is beyond ****ing dumb.
Skill into snipers if you want to use them, don't demand reskins for them.
Confirmation Caldari never should have had half the content they do.

Gallente are about getting in close and spraying plasma everywhere. But it would make sense for the Gallente, and all the races for that matter, to have some form of overwatch weaponry. Perhaps we could turn the TacAR into something similar. But as for a dedicated sniper, that's the Caldari area of expertise.
Dunno about that. Gallente can use Hybrid Railgun weapons in a very similar manner to the Caldari since they were the ones who invented and gave the tech to the Caldari.

MINA that's me using your logic against you. Not strawmanning. As even True Adamance mocked you about your logic.
By your frame of mind you'd be missing a decent chunk of weapons.
Hey don't bring me into this.
I just don't really like the Caldari....at all. It doesn't help their case they currently also have the most content in the game and still find things to complain about.

That and the damn thing I stylized in Gallente fashion. That's like calling the Amarr suit Minmatar
But I still would argue that Gallente wouldn't really make a dedicated sniper, but they would definitely see the use in a Designated Marksman Rifle. Perhaps it fires superheated plasma out to about 150m and does a button of damage. Plasma Lance or something.
The Gallente created the Railgun as New Eden knows it......why would they not develop their own variation of a weapon they themselves developed?
Perhaps the Gallente employ improved Null Thorium Charges that deploy a powerful charged ion/electron/blaster rounds over long distances or perhaps the Gallente use Spike Rounds that use a micro-gravitron detonator to send scathing burst of flechettes against their targets?

Why not. Try a Focused Anode Particle Stream that fires an electro-laser of such intensity that it literally overloads shield, electronic, and clone nervous systems.
