Number 3!!
SoroSuub EZ-Snap 48sR Sniper Blaster Rifle
The first one sounds really nice and powerful.....and really slow. I'm talking 14.0 speed slow. The second just sounds gay. I mean did they ever think about maybe just maybe adding in a battery powered compressor instead of a "hand pump"? I wont even mention the 4th.
p.s. Most of the weapons in the original Star Wars were regular weapons but poorly disguised. I remember watching Ep. 4 and taking a good look at the T21 that trooper was cradling. Then I realized it was an old WW1 era machine gun without the circlular magazine thats attached to the top (English "Bren" gun?). The E-11 was a sterling submachine gun with some junk thrown on the barrel and a 3shot clip instead of a 30shot banana clip. LucasArts has ALOT more cash to spend on props and special effect now though.
My second choice would be Number one. The restdont really fit a snipers needs.

I dont suppose any of you has the Essential Guide of Weapons and Technology, and can say if the weapons described above have pictures going with it? Im beginning to think there are no actual designs of those sniper rifles, although I do have a good clue how they would look likr, judging by the style each company works with
Karden,
I have that book, although it is not in my possession currently. I did read through it about two-three weeks ago, and I can safely say that none of your proposed sniper weapons can be found in it. If I recall correctly, it mentions the DH-17, E11, DL-44, T21, DX-series, Bowcaster, spray stick, and a few other oddball guns. The Disruptors original artwork is far superior to the version we got.
Still no sniper rifles though... ![]()
