could be cool, but don't remove the current scout rifle - add this as a second one. and J 4mes dont think you can get away with being a douche here for no reason.
It does seem a little like the crossbow from HL2, but it would have less drop and zoom. Also the adjustible ironsight adds a layer of depth to the weapon Maybe, It would be the developers decision.
Yes. I´m also for the complete removal of the "sniper". A scout is a SCOUT and his job is not sniping.
