Sniper Rifle



The Sniper Rifle is a ranged weapon dropped by Skeleton Snipers in the Dungeon if the world has entered Hardmode and Plantera has been defeated. It fires a fast, powerful bullet which can kill most enemies in one shot. It also has the added capability of "zooming out", a function identical to the Rifle Scope and the Binoculars, where the screen scrolls approximately half the distance the mouse moves. It increases your critical hit chance by 15%. the sniper rifle does the most damage in the game, but it has slow firing rate toeven it out

Musket Balls and Silver Bullets shot from this weapon gain the effects (but not damage) of High Velocity Bullets, though if High Velocity Bullets are used as ammo it seems as if the bullets go twice as fast than the ammunition being shot from any other gun.

Trivia

 * This weapon can be thought of as the long-awaited upgrade to the Musket, due to their similar sprites, and both having relatively high base damage and low speed stats relative to their tier.


 * This weapon resembles an Accuracy International AWM-F G22 bolt action sniper rifle.

Bugs
If you shoot the gun pointing down while wearing Shroomite Armor the bullet will come out of your player's face, this doesn't happen when looking up, left, or right.
