Personally I would change only two things to the proposed stats:

-reduce damage by %20 (making it 40 per shot), doing two 50 damage bodyshots in less than a second is too unfair.
-replace crit to mini-crit on headshot, otherwise it's like no-scoping two medics in one second.

idk. i think the reductions are unnessary. As the sniper is basically a shotgun, and it would make sence to do extra damage on headshots. and reduced damage makes no sense because, again, its a shotgun/rifle.

I personally think that it should do more damage, I mean...believe or not no-scope body-shots aren't easy. Since it seems like a rifle, it's zoom is reduced to low-range, however it does high damage, but also only holds two shots. It'd also be cool if it like...became a promotional item to those who pre-order to second episode of Tales from the Borderlands.

I agree, not only because i am Clap-Trap, bu because the rifle/shotgun looks too much like a Jackobs DB

make it so damage stays the same when unzoomed

What about random crits?

I agree with fortran but i think its needs to do more damage based on the distance and no charge.

So, More damage closer, less damage farther. Putting sniper at the mid-close range instead of the far/mid range. Yes?

so wait, the rifle fires buckshot or bullets?? a shotgun for sniper I don't think make too much sense. If it fires bullets I still stand my ground, two 150 crits in one second is way too OP

Love to see this weapon! Just gotta nickpick though, the word "except" in the weapon preview should be "accept". "If Valve does accept the weapon" Sorry, it just seems more professional, I love the weapon. Except would be the opposite of what you want.

@Mr_Fortan

The creator said it's a rifle, as there's double-barreled rifles as well as double-barreled shotguns. Two 150 crits in one second is less than a Direct Hit crit, so it isn't too OP. Why must you be so stupid?

The stats that you suggusted sound a bit too OP because you can just double click as fast as you can and 1 hit always, and it will also lead to people with programs to make it click for them so they get 2 shots for the price of 1.

-15% damage
OR
a low fire speed. (half reload time default Rifle)

2 ammunition clip

If it can zoom,
can't charge.

If it can't zoom.
Can headshot (-15% damage).
OR
Can headshot, like Ambassador with a cool down (this headshot do 150 damage),

@Golden Freddy

The difference relies on it being 2 shots fired rapidly, it's VERY different than any crocket or crit sticky, it's A LOT more exploitable (and it's 2 150 crits on demand unlike the formers). You could run around headshoting medics, scouts, etc. andthat's BS. It's basically a hitscan 2 shot huntsman.

This rifle would the preferred rifle for CoD fanboys.

I say it should have bonus damage, but only 12 rounds available to use instead of 25, and it could operate without the sniper rifle's charge time, at the expense of a longer reload.
