[Idea] Faction specific sniper rifles (Higby!)

[Rasui]

The numbers need to be tweaked, so as not to invalidate the current sniper rifles or be too OP, but I believe the concepts are solid. They're designed to fit the overall themes of the factions. Those being, NC are stronger at close range and hit hard. TR are better at medium range and designed to put more shots downrange. And VS is all about long range precision.

NC: NC17 Heavy Rail Driver

Super heavy sniper rifle in the vein of the original PS1 BD. 1 hit kill to the chest at 50m or less. 1 hit kill to the head regardless of nanoweave rank at any range. Downside is that you have to reload after every shot. The reload should be 4-4.5 seconds and the total ammo count should be fairly low (20-25). Velocity should be lower then the Longshot, somewhere around 600m/s would be good. Consider allowing it to do significant damage to lightly armored vehicles.

TR: T35 Perforator

The ultimate in medium range sniping and suppression. The perforator is a bolt-action sniper rifle with dual barrels (Think PS1 Cycler stacked barrels) capable of firing two shots back to back before having to work the bolt. Essentially it's a sniper rifle version of the Prowler. Not the most powerful on a per-shot basis, but you can quickly compensate for the recoil and follow up to devastating effect. Damage should be slightly less than a one hit kill even on headshots except at extremely close range. Velocity should be 550m/s, on par with the default bolts. Ammo count should be high with 10 in the mag and 60 total shots.

VS: VX8 Parsec

The ultimate long range sniper rifle. The VX8 Parsec would feature instantaneous bullet travel with no drop. The downsides being that it has a charge mechanic on top of the breath hold mechanic, making it a high skill cap weapon. It also projects a visible beam of light while charging, making it unsuitable for short/medium range sniping if you want to live long. The charge time should be 2 seconds with a 1 second hold time. The damage should be on par with current bolt action rifles, same with the ammo pool.
