One of my players wants to create a stealthy sniper-type. I think his plan is to only pack one weapon, his tricked-out pimp ass sniper rifle. I'm pretty sure that by the rules, there's nothing stopping him from, say, storming a building with it - the rules are too abstract to model the problems that would result from that.
But the image of somebody wielding a sniper rifle in the same situations as they would wield a SA pistol irks me. Am I missing something? Should I houserule something? Or should I just let it go? (I know that concealment is a factor, but I'm talking more about using a sniper rifle in situations where its unwieldiness would be a factor.) |
