Re: Why Sniper Rifles are so crappy in HT?
Oh, it's all hobby. It's just that the ballistics stuff is pretty much as useful as it's going to be. Either Technical Grappling or the articles I write for Pyramid are fun first, incidental fundage second!

I think most gun shops we walk into, even in the Northeast, seem to claim to be able to sell you something about as good tweaked in their own shop, whether or not they have national pistolsmithing reps. |

Re: Why Sniper Rifles are so crappy in HT?
The rule in Tactical Shooting caps skill at a flat value plus twice the Acc of the weapon; everything else allows you to get UP to this. There were a couple of schools of thought on where (say) tuned ammo came in here, adding to Acc, adding +1 to the final max value, or whatever. But the TS value is supposed to represent the accuracy of the weapon clamped in a vise, more or less.

Re: Why Sniper Rifles are so crappy in HT?
No, its a hard cap representing the absolute physical limits of the gun's accuracy. Gritty TS snipers with impressive skill levels can gather enough bonuses that can make the cap relevant.

Re: Why Sniper Rifles are so crappy in HT?
No. The ultimate Acc is a function of barrlel length and manufacture. The figure represents bench rest Acc.

Re: Why Sniper Rifles are so crappy in HT?
3 grand is a reasonable price. The pistol has to be hand fit (figure $150 an hour) and the parts are probably a grand. Add the excise tax and sales tax and there you go.
