Talk:ASS-113B S3 AMB Sniper System

An assault rifle that fires sniper rifle rounds, and can be converted to a marksman rifle? The sniper rifle and assault rifle weapons systems are mutually exclusive to one another. The high accuracy, manufacturing tolerances, demanding ammunition standards, optics requirements, need for specialized operator training, and high size and weight of a sniper rifle are not compatible with the portability, ease of use, ammunition type, and the needs for small size and low wight weight present in an assault rifle.

Your rifle uses sniper rifle ammunition, which is significantly more expensive and difficult to make than AR ammo. It is unreasonable to expect a soldier to carry match-grade sniper ammo AND cheap GP ammo, infantrymen don't have the space for that extra weight.

With minimal action changes your weapon makes a huge rate of fire change from 120 rpm in sniper mode to 1080 rpm. Firstly no sniper would ever fire his weapon that rapidly, most wait several hours between firing single shots. Secondly, the AR rpm rivals that of some MACHINE GUNS! The average soldier would burn up ammo too quickly for it to be practical. In fact to limit the amount of heavy ammo modern soldiers have to carry, most weapons deliberately slow down their weapon's rate of fire.

If a soldier wants an accurate, high powered, but portable and practical infantry weapon, he'd be better off with an BR, than a Sniper-AR system.
