<p>Phil: /* stopgap vs devastator cannon */</p> <hr /> <div>== 30 Charges? ==<br /> <br /> Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Laser Sniper Gun clip only capable of storing 10 charges? It's the Plasma Gun that's got 30+ charges. -[[User:NKF|NKF]] 09:07, 13 June 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :30 shots for the sniper. I often use it as an equivalent alternative to the machine gun in the early game, as ammo is still quite scarce then (one-shot kills are no where ''near'' as common as in the earlier games). - &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:xx-small&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;[[User:Bomb_Bloke|Bomb Bloke]] ([[User_talk:Bomb_Bloke|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Bomb_Bloke|Contribs]])&lt;/span&gt; 18:29, 13 June 2011 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == Underappreciated? ==<br /> <br /> I had retired these fairly quickly, as dual wielded plasma pistols offered acceptable accuracy and excellent power. I had some very uncomfortable fights though - between the introduction of Devastator Cannons and my ability to use them myself - where the poor underpowered sniper was the only way to deliver any kind of damage at medium/long ranges before incoming fire killed someone. There's a gap where devastator cannons are (eventually) deadly, and lawpistols, autocannons, plasma pistols, and disruptors rarely score hits at all. The targets weren't armoured or shielded so a sniper could do the job, they were just too hard to hit and too dangerous to approach.<br /> <br /> --[[User:Phil|Phil]] 11:51, 30 July 2012 (EDT)</div>
