I know, I know, lots of stuff planned already, so not very likely that something like this will be added anytime soon, but wtf... this is simply too cool not to mention. ;)

The idea: a gun based on the Barrett XM-109 Sniper Rifle -- read all about it here.
Features (not necessarily those of the original):

- fires 25 mm ammo. Could come in 2 flavors, anti-personnel (little hitscan shells that explode on impact, cause some splash shrapnel damage etc.) and armor piercing (no splash but more effective against vehicles, can also easily penetrate & kill multiple players in a row).

-5 rounds per magazine.

-Rof comparable to the .50 sniper rifle.

-Power-wise in between railgun and sniper.

-Fancy digital scope.

-Muzzle moves back to compensate recoil (looks pretty cool).

-Can be mounted for more stability.

-3-burst firemode option.

-Badass look!

I'd rather it just be a anti-personnel rifle than anything else cause most sniper rifles aren't meant to distroy hummers!

Remember that there will be sliders for damage caused by bullets on vehicles. ;)

"Firing a small DPHE warhead, the XM-109 is perfectly capable of stopping a vehicle without obliterating it and causing additional collateral damage (as would be the case if the target were hit by a TOW missile)."[/quote]

But of course it could also be used as a normal sniper rifle, splattering people's gibs all over the place! Think of it as the Magnum of sniper rifles...

Btw, an anti-personnel shrapnel shell only version would be fine by me! I'm mostly into DM anyway. The point was that it would be cool to have a monster sniper rifle that shoots exploding rounds.

It would be nice to have two versions of the gun.

1 thats anti-personnel and the other would be anti-vehicle.

OR

Toggleable keys for gun

Special function= Deployes and then un-deployes

Iron Sights= RS could try to make it so that with this one gun the iron sights key works as a switcher between anti-personnel/vehcile rounds.

right button= scope

it does look nice:) but maybe late.. we would have to consider new guns like this for later versions.. we have a rifle, and a railgun right now.. so this one would have to be done later on:( but nice idea tho

except they give alway your position because

#1: The enemy hears a loud crack of thunder and knows (unless its a bot) theirs a sniper around.

#2: The big loud sniper rifles are huge (50 .cal sniper rifle) so its hard to stay out of sight (for ONS maps)!

They make enemies aware of your presence, but without good surround audio, they won't know where the sound came from.

But bots on the other hand, know where you are as long as you stay inside the engine's XYZ limits. ;)

A skilled sniper will move around and take out his enemies before they can get a fix on his position.

With bots, however, it's usually sufficient to just sidestep or back off a bit if they return fire. Unless they're sniping themselves, in which case you're probably screwed. :lol:

Maybe RS will add it in a future version, not the next one though.
Author:  Mr.UglyPants [ Tue Aug 01, 2006 4:53 pm ]
Post subject:  Barrett XM-109 25 mm Sniper Rifle
yeah, it still be a cool gun if it comes out and if RS does make something like it i'll be gald to wait.

This is an awesome weapon, I've always been a fan of the Barret line of anti-materiel rifles, but what would this add to the mod that sin't already done by the current sniper rifle?

Post subject:  Barrett XM-109 25 mm Sniper Rifle
Which sniper? the sniper gun or the railgun? and it would be just another kick a** cool sniper rifle to use against enemies.

I'd want some unique features added so I don't select a sniper in WoRM simply based on the looks.
