The description of the sniper rifle says each round has a downrange velocity of 2,500m/s? Thats like really fast, that would cover several maps in under a second. I snipe obviously, and not every shot is instantaneous damage. So that speed is WRONG. If I'm 300 meters away, that redberry should be hit before a second. That is true, but its not .12th of a second EXACTLY.

I'm not going to get angry at CCP for not making their weapon descriptions 100% accurate to the weapon itself.

So, folks at CCP or fellow nerds on the forums, please answer these 3 questions:

- How much mass would each 'beehive' sniper round have? Better yet how much would each round way in kilograms, that would be easier.

- Is there a range difference for the Charge variant and the Officer variants comparable to the difference of the Tactical and Regular versions? (I've learned that its really easy to hunt Tactical Snipers with Regular Snipers because of that range difference)

- Is the headshot bonus 3x damage?

[I can guess its at least three times as much because with a regular unmodified sniper rifle, it takes about 3 body shots to kill a Min or Cal starter fit, 4 for Gal and Amarr. Getting one head shot will kill a Min or Cal starter fit, but will almost kill a Gal or Amarr. I assume thats because they have more armor, cause shooting them in the head leaves them with only a sliver of health.

Dunt know tho]

I want to do some boredom math.

Idk.

What I do know is that snipers don't have the range they should, there is no prone position, they defiantly don't do the damage they should. Don't you think a futuristic sniper should take out a pro suit assault suit in like 2 shots? 3 for heavies? 1 for lights

Unfortunately if it were like that, they would be op.

Commando snipers...ugh...disgusting.

I am an OG Scout Sniper, the true suit of the sniper, the scout, not commando. I went up against the likes of Gem and Zan, i was taught by Atiim and Gem.

And I am saddened by how snipers are now. I can't even use em because they are just so bad. We need a buff. We need it now.

We don't need buffs, we just need sniper class suits.

Like a light frame subclass.

sry..... thales is the only weapon i call 'sniper'....

On a side note apparently 2500m/s projectiles exceed mach 10. Which might be slightly if not faster than the speed of sound. Yet they only do like 200 damage and can be fire from a rifle? Them projectile must be like candy corn or popcorn kernels. Its either cheap mass produced projectiles or somehow drop suit armour and sheilds can resist 2500m/s personal railgun projectiles but somehow a commando can punch you for like 230 damage(1200hp with myos) lol science.

The ranges and bullet speeds are fine in my opinion. At some point its going to have to dissipate. Or at least slow down and eventually stop but...

Sniper subclass fits tho...mmmm...I kind of want to...maybe...make stats for something like that...hmm....

Doesn't matter in the end.

These are DUST514 Physics, which are in all ways basically pseudoscience. Which is the best science.
