I can already hit out way past AR range without it trained. The time it takes to travel is ridiculous however, so it really makes using the weapon at range crappy as it is.
Currently, the MD round seems to take flight at extreme ranges and in that case doesnt blow up.
Sharpshooter was super effective when i used AR, but i can't even justify it currently for my MD, even tho it needs every edge it can get... |

MD doesn't need sharpshooter.
I count this as a bonus, because it means I have heaps of sp I can put into other things |

It's more useful than sidearm weapon capacity on Nova Knives. |

Who knows? if you maxed out the proficency on that you might get a 3rd knife which you hold between your teeth. |

I think the sharpshooter skill increases range by making arc flatter, and thus easier to aim but harder to arc over obstacles. If the arc is based on real ballistic equation, this would require faster speed and less travel time to distant target. Making long range easier to use.
I haven't used this build, but older build it did this. I saw nothing in patch notes to suggest it changed. So, it has some use for sharpshooter, but ar makes best use of skill of all the light weapons so far. shotgun spreads at range anyway before it hits max range, sniper already has great range, ect... |

So for every level of sharpshooter I learn I'll have to relearn the arc? eww
slightly unrelated: at rather far ranges the explosion doesn't sync up with where the smoke wake goes, anyone know which is the point of impact? |

the sharpshooter increases the range before the mass driver projectiles disappears.
it might be useless currently because hitting something at that range is almost impossible, the assault variation could slightly benefit from it cause you could hit something at longer range with the huge splash. I also remember CCP stating that they want to implement a "mortar" mode for the MD thus it might be useful later. |
