− | [[Megapol]]'s Laser Sniper Gun is a development of (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 of power comparable to a [[Megapol Lawpistol|Lawpistol]]'s – than a high-quality pre-charged system such as was used in [[X-Com (Apocalypse)|X-COM]]'s first laser weapons. |

− | The Laser Sniper Gun is very, ''very'' accurate and a very common weapon within Mega Primus; however, it is disappointingly weak and slow. Despite being the most accurate and longest range (non-missile) gun in the game, the Laser Sniper joins the [[Marsec]] [[Marsec M4000 Machine Gun|M4000 Machine Gun]] collecting dust on a back shelf once [[Disruptor Gun|Disruptors]] appear. |

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.
