What Does Vanu Sniper Rifle Fire Look Like?

[AzureWatcher]

So, the question is, do the Vanu use superior neon-colored lasers to kill targets down-range or inferior, hard-to-see bullets/ non-visible lasers?

I've searched videos and other threads and couldn't find anything relevant.

I don't want to spark a huge debate over this, I am simply curious.

The Vanu just use the Lancer for sniping... ah the good ole days.

If that is true, then I approve of the Vanu military strategists 110%.

I think there's a little bit in on of the E3 streams - Look for a guy looking down a triangle scope that has it's points cut off. The shots looked like thin purple beam. Given how there seems to be a selection of snipers that range from semi-auto to bolt-action, would be curious to see how that translates on the Vanu side. Longer beam bolts and smaller pulse pews?

Ah, thanks. I tried looking through the footage again, but there's just so much. x.x

Although that would make sense to give Vanu thin beams to fire out. I wonder what the recharge time is? Is it semi-automatic or inbetween the semi and bolt action?

Anyways, thanks for answering my question.

what i noticed from community day:
the vanu sniper fires like the teal/blue in AzureWatcher's sig thin yet long energy burst. The energy trace is longer than that of typical vanu weapons fire.
The rate of fire/recharge time seems like about a round every 2 seconds.

Bullets fired looked similar to the other factions in the videos. A long tracer follows the bullet, though I think each has a faction specific color to the tracer.

In this video you can see that the TR tracer is blue, so not sure what the colors are based on. Skip to 19:13
