Exactly. Jett, for example, has a crossbow skill of 7. With a
Smartlinked bow, combat pool, rangefinder, etc, she can roll 14 dice
against a very low TN. And, with dikote bolts (expensive, but worth it),
base damage of 9D means that usually, one success is enough. I've had
Jett make some OUTSTANDINGLY impossible shots with one or two KP and all
those dice, and seen other characters with similar skills with rifles,
etc do the same. IMO, additional sniper mods really aren't necessary.
