What he said.

Actually the thought of using a bolt rifle in the future is very stupid. The military even today is trying to move away from bolt rifles to semi auto. But bolts are used for balance more than anything.

But I see no issue either with being able to turn auto reload off.

Yes, it's not about realism... It's a balance thing. I'm glad this sniper has to pop out of scope in between shots because it is probably a little more powerful somehow than sniper rifles that don't do that.

I already remember seeing a TR sniper staying in scope and doing pretty quick semi-auto sniper shots. FREAKING RELAX.
