Sniper rifle is, at any moment, in one of these states...
Fully disassembled, can fit in briefcase 1 Complex Action of reassembly: Partially dissasembled, each half is carbine length 1 Complex Action of further reassembly gets: Hastily reassembled, use Carbine range mods Further reassembly (Armorer [2], 1 Complex Action): Fully reassembled, use Sniper Rifle range mods (actual test firing gives large bonus for this task) RAW says it gets -1 DP if bumped; I suggest that any bump causing that, also causes reversion to Carbine range mods. I assume some internal sensors that aid in reassembly, eg Tab A interfaces with Slot B to check whether it's perfectly re-aligned or needs a slight adjustment on this screw or that screw. Actually test-firing is the best way of double-checking reassembly, as a small misalignment matters a lot at 800 meters range. kzt is among those who know a lot more about long-distance riflery than I do, so I hope that he's among the second opinion providers. |
