a simple sniper rifle that can deal 400-800 damage to vehicles.
not enough to do serious damage to them but enough to deter vehicles out of sniper locations.
to troops it would do reduced damage.
this could be the assault variant for sniper rifles and come at the cost of ammo capacity or reload time. |

Unless this is a heavy only weapon, it would be ridiculous. There is a plethora of AV weapons to choose from and only two choices of tank, armor or shield. Until we have more advanced tanks, ones that are not militia tanks in disguise, there should be no new AV weapons. However, it would be pretty sweet to have an AV weapon that does less than 1000 damage! |

I also had the idea of something like this a few months ago but it worked in a slightly different way.
After WW1 there have actually been anti-tank rifles that-¦s bullet could pierce through a tanks armor to take out its crew or important components inside the tank. Modern counter parts would be the Austrian HS.50, the German DSR 50 or the US Barret M82.
If its a heavy weapon it could do about 200 damage to shield and armor and 100 damage to the closest crew members. To be not too OP it could have only about 15 rounds, a 3 round magazine, a long reload time (6 sec) and be bolt-action. It could also be very slow at aiming.
This would also give a great ability for pilot or command dropsuits: They could give nearby people a small bonus on armor repairing if in vehicles. |

No, he wants an Assault Rifle that can solo a tank.

forge guns fire slow moving explosive rounds with a charge time, that instant kill infantry if they connect.
I want a single shot long range rifle, that has bonus damage on vehicles, it would use the sniper rifle skill but be a heavy only weapon.
it's not an assault rifle, it's not an automatic weapon in any form, and as mentioned above is based on already existing weapons.. |

maybe just a sniper that fires flux grenades (because i cant chuck them far enough)? having a sniper that can shoot through tanks makes no sense. then this becomes halo with the sniper being the god weapon.
plus those snipers do not work on modern tanks. if i had a refurbrished tank from ww2 and you hit it with a .50 cal then maybe you could peirce it and kill it. or if you shot the treads it could slow down or impair the tank. but tanks are designed to be impervious to infantry fire.
the sniper is a versitile weapon in dust and you have plenty of open areas and objects. you can attack and defend with a spnier. but taking out vehicles is that step too far.
the only reason as a heavy i can take out vehicles is after putting 300 rounds in the lav (heavies can only damage lavs) -AND- my team is chucking av nades, rockets, forge rounds. i cant blow one up in one clip by myself. |

the long range sniper rifle should allow for av's at greater range then the forge gun if need be, and should function against tanks hiding in the hills. or fast moving LAV's. I didn't want it to take the place of the forge gun which is the heavy hitter.
since the damage would be lower then most lav's they should be able to get into cover if the rifle is slow firing enough anyway.
so you want a forge gun with zoom? |

well considering the rail guns we use in dust should be all means already be anti tank, I see no reason why not.
the snipers we use currently should be firing at ridiculous speed( no drop off at up to 600 meters instantaneous ) and only needs to fire small projectiles, that's generally enough to put a hole in any tank anyway, if you specialize it into a heavy weapon variant firing specialized rounds I could easily see it being used, why it wouldn't end most infantry is really a matter of game balance then logic, it's the same reason a tanks missile turrets in dust have the same explosive radius as a water balloon. |
