12.7mm Sniper Rifle

[CobaltAvenger]

An intermediate sniper for those who want good stopping power with out being weighed down.

Basically the current sniper rifles in game are either too weak or too heavy to lug around with you.

The one that fires .308 only has a damage rating near 45 and while the .50 caliber is really strong at about 120 damage

but really slows you down weighting 20 pounds also it's ammo takes a heavy toll on your carrying capacity in hard core mode.

That is why I am asking for a sniper rifle that fires the 12.7mm round.

here are the general specs for the weapon I had in mind.

Semi-Automatic

Damage: 60-70

Rate Of Fire: 2-3 rounds per second

Weapon Health: 250

Mag size: 4

Weight: 15 pounds

AP: 45

Strength requirement: 7

Skill requirement: 90

Spread: 0.1

 

Possible weapons mods:

Silencer

Composite Stock/Carbon Fiber Parts(Reduce weight by 2.5-5 pounds)

Recoil Comp(Reduces spread by 0.05)

Extended Mags(Increase mag size by 4)

 

I would like to personally thank anyone who decides to make this weapon mod.

Well, if you can live with just rechambering the existing rifle, you can do it yourself in the GECK.

 

Alternately, you can go fully automatic instead of bigger rounds. E.g., one of these babies, although they don't have a scope: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35605

I already have an infiltrator from a Fallout 3 weapon restoration mod, but thanks any way for the suggestion.
