I want the gun to have a lingering blue beam. I also think the guns should glow a bit.


As for the physics of it, I think it should be much more of a medium power ranged rifle. It should have 2x, 8x, 10x, and 15x zoom. It should take 3 shots to kill: 2 for shields and one w/o. Its RoF is one charge a second, any more and it has an eight second overheat sequence. HOWEVER, you can fire during an overheat! For every shot fired in OH, your accuracy is 50% than the previous shot. So, if you pull of two shots in one second and it overheats, and you fire two more OH shoots in anger, The first one has a 100% (Assuming for simplicity) chance of hitting. The second shot, which caused an overheat, has a 50% chance of hitting, the third shot 25%, and the final shot 12.5% chance.

And the final kicker: If you were to fire four shots while overheating, the gun is disabled and explodes, taking down your shields. To make up for this, the gun has 100 charges, and no reload.



Basically, I want an original Covenant sniper, not a purple human sniper rifle.

You're retarded dude, there's no way it would ever be possible to shoot during an overheat and it wouldnt last 8 -blam!- seconds.

Errrmmm.... that idea isn't necessarily "bad," but that explode thing... I think it should just be you can't shoot when it overheats, none of this accuracy loss stuff (it is a beam rifle). And all those zooms? What are you gonna do with all those... what if you need to unzoom real quick... or accidentally zoom... you have to cycle through all of those zooms... not gonna work. Still an ok idea though.

Well, its want I want in the gun. If you disagree, post YOUR specs, don't complain. Who said you couldn't fire in an overheat? Just because it hasn't been done doesn't mean it can't be.
