We don't have a sniper rifle, we have a Barrett .50. It doesn't "snipe things" so much as "force everything in front of the muzzle to cease existing". We might need a more....normal sniper rifle, for regular operations. But for taking down heavier ADVENT forces (and even just shooting straight through multiple armored ADVENT patrolmen in a single shot) the .50 is going to be a great option for a long time.
The motorcycle helps with exactly ONE thing, IF we can afford it. A two-seater bicycle would accomplish much the same thing as the motorcycle, too, and we'd definitely be able to purchase one this turn.
Perhaps we should design a set of suppressors for all our weapons...except maybe the .50 I guess, suppressing one of those is usually futile at best. That or we design a suppressed, modular rifle capable of serving as a marksman's rifle, battle rifle, or assault rifle all in one...
Modular Weapons System
Modern militaries aren't normally stuck with simple guns like we are. This aims to rectify that. The intent is to produce a modular system capable of fulfilling multiple roles for our soldiers. The MWS is a bullpup-style weapon with interchangeable barrels, actions, and sights, to allow it to fulfill three primary roles. First, it functions as a 7.62mm marksman's rifle with medium-magnification optics. Substituting a short barrel allows it to work well in close confines as a battle rifle of sorts. Swapping out for a really large (but heavy) magazine and heavier, more heat-resistant barrels allows the MWS to function as a basic LMG. A couple different stocks are also available, as are various attachments such as lasers and grips.
Meh. Uninspired and somewhat lame, but maybe it'd work well for us at filling some gaps in our battle lineup.
