− | [[Megapol]]’s Laser Sniper Gun is a development (or, as some commanders would be tempted to say, a regression) from the [[Weapons#Laser Technology|laser]] technology from the [[First Alien War]]. The optical sight can distinguish an ultraviolet laser designator out to seventy-five meters, but it lacks any telescopic capability. Rather than allow [[Energen]] to participate in the weapon market, Megapol decided to provide energy pods to power the gun. Although the mass-produced pods are cheap, they are far less efficient – thirty discharges with power comparable to that of a [[Megapol Lawpistol|Lawpistol]] – than a high-quality pre-charged system such as was used in [[X-Com (Apocalypse)|X-COM]]’s first laser weapons. |

An extremely accurate weapon best used at long range to attack hostiles that cannot easily retaliate. The firing rate will limit it usefulness to long range supporting fire only. Close combat situations are not ideal but may be useful if dual wielded. It is best used from high elevations with unobstructed views of the battlescape. Conservative stock levels of ammunition may not be an issue since only a select few of accurate agents should use this weapon.
