I know right! Im wondering just how effective is as a sniper rifle. The whole point is distance and concealment. Even lying prone at range with that thing, the enemy spotters would surely see it and most likely mistake it for a field gun! lol Which wouldnt bode well for the sniper....

Nice shots!

Thanks Gnomey
