Does anyone with MD skills know if Sharpshooter has any effect on MD. I cant see why it would ive already leveled it to 3 for the times when i switch to SMG or AR. But now that im speccing into higher levels of MD operation i cant see the point in speccing into Sharpshooter if there is not improvement.
The more i think about it i just cant see how the increase in range could possibly effect a projectile explosive in which damage would be governed by the explosive force, as opposed to velocity like a bullet which would get a benefit from having greater range stat.

It's only an untested theory but i believe Sharpshooter may increase the amount of time a payload can travel through the air before exploading.
You'll notice if you fire straight up into the sky that the pay load explodes long before it comes back down. The same could be thought of when it travels a long distance when fired at a high arc. Sharpshooter may increase that interval.
keep the faith. |

I am of the opinion that the range and effectiveness at range is fantastic as it stands, and that SP are better spent improving other aspects of the weapon/suit. It does have a max range of sort, you will see the projectile air burst and I think at that point it does no damage even within splash range. But the overall range is HUGE, hitting targets at that distance that are moving takes a little bit of luck anyway. Of course there are times when everyone is so skured of nade spam that those are your only targets... That is if sharpshooter even effects the MD. |

Assumption on my part:
Being that i was a M203 gunner in the Army and have fired live rounds...Much more fun in real life.
I can see that sharp shooter would allow for farther arcing before coming down thru or on top of said target. Though your site retical would not show your increased distance.
Also could mean that extra volicty could be added to the round thereby increasing range + arc.

The rounds fired have got a limited range where after they dissapear and don't explode. I haven't tested it but I assume the sharpshooter skill affects this range or maybe flight time for the rounds. |
