The Sniper carries no need for a different weapon. That wouldn't make him a sniper. Between Super Rail Guns and Grenade Launchers, and Trickshot Rifles -- They all alter the way the sniper was originally intended thus creating a new class out of something that literally takes away the learning curve of that particular class. I say add to the learning curve without damaging the basis behind the sniper class. By adding new weapons, or easier-to-use weaponry to the sniper class doesn't make the class better... It makes it different.

CONCLUSION:
Give the Sniper the ability to do more with what they already have. If you really put some time in to it, ACTUALLY TEST the skills a sniper could have offensively before apply thesis. Stop making theory out of something that can actually be done..
