Snipas are Loron sniper rifles, mostly used by Sneekaz.
History[]
Early Propa Loron Empire[]
The Snipa was developed by some groups of sneekaz, but was never really used, seen as 'wimpy' and unprofessional. The concept was developed and abandoned by most sneekas, thus didn't spread far.
Knar'thil[]
Knar'thil, a renowned sneeka who revolutionised sneaking in general, reused the concept of a weapon that could hunt down other enemies. The tradition was passed on to the family, and when Knar'gank had the resources of the Propa Big Loron Empire and several chikz to help develop it further, the Snipa was used more commonly.
Da Rogue Boyz[]
When Knar'gank joined Da Rogue Boyz, he took the snipa designs with him. The new, more intelligent chikz - and Loron - were able to perfect the snipa further, trying to get the muzzle velocity and the ammunition as perfect as possible. Eventually, they succeeded, and the snipa's design was standardised for sneekas.
Characteristics[]
Design[]
The snipa is a long rifle with sharp knives on the end. Many of the sneekaz using the weapon like to paint it the colour of their camouflage, but some can tally the enemies they've killed with it.
Behaviour[]
Snipas are used by da sneekaz, on many occasions. Thanks to targeting systems on the weapon, it can pinpoint weakspots on the enemy. Snipas are mostly used for assassinations, distractions, and to pick off certain targets that may cause harm to the sneeka time.
Ammunition[]
The Snipa uses a 8 Round Detachable Box Magazine. The bullets have a muzzle velocity of around 900m/s, and a maximum range of 2,400m. The bullets are around 600 grams in weight.
Combat[]
Attacks[]
One quick bullet that can pierce through armour easily. The weapon is equipped with a silencer, so its fire cannot be heard easily. The weapon is aimed surprisingly well for Loron, and hits the target precisely in the weak spot. This is possibly due either to the Sneekaz' patience, or the targeting systems on the weapon.
Techniques[]
Sneekaz tend to fire the weapon once and make a run for it. When the enemy investigates the position the weapon was fired from, the sneekaz can ambush the investigating troopas. This is one of many known sneeka techniques.
Tactics[]
Loron are best off using this weapon from range to kill targets from afar. Useful to kill targets harder to reach. However, it is ineffective against multiple targets.
