Huh? You're saying that the M. Sniper does more damage at long range, because you can miss at close range? I'm confused.
Did you mean that, since the Military sniper fires really fast and does raycasts, it's much more effective at close range than the sport rifle, and needs to do less damage so it's not overpowered?
