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.
Am I the only person who snipes in a logi suit?
Oh, and I want my 600m back! The longest kill I've ever made? 599m. Heh, poor sod never saw it coming.
Another point of interest. Until an officer variant of Kaalakiota Snipers come out, Proto > Officer/Experimental.

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. Mach 1 is the speed of sound idiot, and its around 350 m/s, or ~800 mph. 2500 m/s = Mach 7, which is 7 times the speed of sound. Do you even math? Since thats true there really isn't any point in me trying to find the actual speed of each shot. Either math straight CCP, or give sniper rifles extreme recoil buffs.
I think it needs more than extreme recoil buffs. If something exceed the speed of sound it causes a sonic boom. The force of that alone should kill you.

Really? Sorry about that, on the field if it's red it dies. I used to be a hell of a sniper, but now with a broken controller, and the average EHP of a suit exceeding 400 I can only make about 10 kills a match with one.
I use the logi because I can carry lots of hives with it. Whenever I deploy hives after filling up my ammo I throw a bunch of grenades to use it up. Can't give my position away y'know.

At that velocity, the round disintegrates at right around 450m So its a expensive candy corn shooter. I'm pretty sure since there's no actual fire or explosive involved in a railgun and just fletchettes,I'm pretty sure it can hold up for a little more than just 450m. Well there is no explosive charge...but there is a significant amount of heat... Actual Railgun FiringThe "Fire" you see is generated from friction and air displacement. (interestingly enough, the projectile was clocked at about 2.5k m/s) Smaller Projectiles may very well have a significant portion of their mass destroyed past a certain point depending on their composition...but I'm too tired and working on another spreadsheet right now to do that complex of math xD
Railguns don't actually shoot things. They use magnetic forces to boost things along a conductive "rail," (in this case the sniper's barrel) at super high speeds. Let Mikasa Mikoto show you how they work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWMvG8rWMjA
Notice that electrical charge that's around her? That's her manipulating the magnetic forces around her so she can create an invisible "rail" to fire the coin along. As a side note, the coin does disintegrate at 50m, but I'm not sure if that math is sound.
This is what Wikipedia has to say about railguns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun

Well, we're talking make-believe sci-fi physics anyway, so what the hell does it matter? If you have this overbearing need to engage infantry in this game at distances well past 450m, you're doing it wrong... Maybe sniping isn't for you.
Nah, I'm a real man. I like to look my enemy straight in the eye when I kill them. Well, straight in the eye through a high-powered sniper scope from 600m away.
