Remote Snipers

Unread post by dragonfett »

Are there any in cannon? It seems like they should exist given that everything they require already exists in world.

wouldn't be hard to house rule that kind of weapon, maybe a scavenged skelebot, only the head for sensors and remote control, the spine, arm/hand with a weapon

You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back

you are making it sound far more complicated than it really is.
Just google "remote sniper system" we've had these things for years now.

Depending on your definition of canon... If you mean spread printed, I dunnoh. If you mean the means are already printed... TW Sniper Rifle.

Would the automated sentry guns count? (Kittani produce them, IIRC Northern Gun has them). What about Naruni drones tied to the Combat Pod (IIRC).

would have to say no on the NG system as is due to the burst firing railgun.
wouldn't take much for an operator to switch out the weapon and turn it into a nice system though.
