bad idea, because it'll disturb the balance of the weapon and/or the
barrel vibrations caused by the shot. Either will affect accuracy,
which is the thing you carry a sniper rifle for in the first place...
Also, the rifle has a range that four times as far as the launcher, so
what's the point? An assault rifle with grenade launcher is a much
better proposition.
It's called protection. Could you imagine sneaking up on a sniper and
then having him let loose a barrage of minigrenades at you? :)
Then I flash back to "Clear and Present Danger". The sniper in that
carried his sniper rifle AND an assault rifle like the other troopies.
That probably makes more sense, I guess.
*sigh*
It's SUCH a cool idea, though. :)
> > As for weaponry - standard are suppressed SMGs with EX Exp, APDS
and gel. One combat shotgun and two assault rifles (Ares Alpha Combat
Guns) for heavier work. Advanced milspec laser rifle for the heavy
weapons dude. Grenades of various kinds. And a mage. Then there are the
drones...:) Enough for a covert op?

> Sounds good to me, although you might want to consider ammo
standardization.
Ummm...I have, AFAIK. They all have the same kind of SMGs (and pistols
- forgot to mention those). The shotgun and laser rifle are the only
"one off" weapons.
> I'd got for a medium machinegun instead of a laser, simply because
the lasers in SR are pretty crap weapons -- 20 shots and that's it. If
you want to keep the laser, give this guy an SMG as well, for when the
laser's battery is empty.
Ahhh...but I said an advanced milspec laser. I'm not going to give it
stats, but think of a man-portable version of the Firelance vehicle
laser - with more battery capacity. 15S base damage AND anti-vehicular.
And yes, he has an SMG. :) He's only going to pull out the laser
against drones - or if everything goes to crap.
> Also, be sure to give everyone pistols (the _same_ type) as back-up
weapons, with a few clips (not too many, if they have to use their
pistols they're nearly fragged anyway).

Again, already done, but I did forget to mention that. Thanks.
