You cannot know this. Further more, sniper rifles are exclusively referred to as railguns in-game. If CCP were planning on adding different varieties, they would have been less heavy on referring to sniper rifles in general as railguns. It might be worth noting that I've heard nothing from CCP about racial sniper rifles, and I'm sure no one else has, either.

CCP never puts everything out there. Ever.

The Gallente Sniper Rifle. Not a creative name, I know, and I don't like it, but I cannot think of much else. The Blaster Rifle is a weapon very similar to the original Sniper Rifle, but it serves a different purpose. It's a short-range marksman rifle. Using advanced blaster charges that originate with the space-faring Null charge, it is far more accurate and has a much longer range than the usual blaster. It's perfectly accurate, just like the sniper rifle today, but after a certain distance the damage falls off and the plasma eventually dissipates. It has good range, but the farther you shoot it the less effect it has. It is still a powerful weapon, and makes an excellent marksman rifle for the front-line. It has a higher rate of fire than the railgun rifle, and produces less recoil, but is also slightly weaker overall (when you factor in long distance shots, that becomes even more apparent.). It is also shorter and lighter than the railgun rifle, giving it less sway, making firing while moving a viable, if questionable, tactic. These things make it superior while in direct combat, but overall less effective as a long-range weapon. And the Minmatar Sniper Rifle. The Rusty Rifle, as I will refer to it now, is a sniper rifle. It has a higher rate of fire than the Railgun Rifle, as well as larger clip size. It is somewhat weaker, and produces more recoil. It has a longer range than the Blaster Rifle, but its accuracy declines at longer ranges. It produces a large amount of sway, and the recoil makes it even worse while standing up. It is designed as a mid-range battle/marksman rifle that can lay down fire on enemies at all ranges. It's accuracy may decrease at long range, but it's overall range is good enough that firing at a crowd can be devastatingly effective even at distances too great for standard sniper duty. It is not a weapon to be fired lightly, and it is best to find a fortified position to fight from, which also differentiates it from the Blaster Rifle. The Caldari Sniper would generally be superior at long-ranges, as well as against other snipers, and as such would act like a "true sniper" and less like a designated marksman. To conclude: Gallente Sniper Rifle - Short to mid-range marksman rifle designed for closer combat than a normal sniper rifle. Minmatar Sniper Rifle - mid to long-range heavy sniper rifle, designed for heavy assault against large targets. Caldari Sniper Rifle - Long-range sniper rifle, superior at long-range and counter-sniper operations.

Ob Vious. I will take this into consideration. Thing is, I don't think CCP is planning making variations for all weapons. For example, Laser Rifles and Mass Drivers. I doubt CCP is going to make any racial variations of those.

Caldari's heavy weapon is the Forge Gun.

Prove it He will once you prove how this is a "terrible representation of the respective race's weaponry". Why would the users of the two most powerful forms of weaponry have shorter range, AND weaker power than the current rifle? That doesn't even make sense. Realistically speaking, it's a great representation.
