Idea for a sniper weapon

Remember, this is just a idea, not something they should do, just a idea. Tell me if you like it or not.

If you use the zoom while standing up, the view would move around some while zooming, making it hard to aim. If you crounch, the zoom will stand perfectly still, but a laser dot (or tracer trail) will be added, making it possible to be found. Standing up would have no way of tracing you back (besides the muzzy flash from the gun), but it is much harder to aim, while crouching down is much easier to aim, but gives you away.

Again, is this idea any good?

Edit: Please read my 2nd post and idea below before commenting.

Thank you ! I also came up with another idea kind of like the first one. Standing up or crouching would not change anything for this idea. The shots will be untraceable if your not zooming in, but if you zoom in, the shots will be traceable. Please comment on this idea and the one in my first post.

I'm not trying to turn the game into "Real" Tournament, that is why I came up with the 2nd idea in my other post, everyone seems to be looking at only the first post/idea. I feel the same way about how the game should be unreal and kind of said the same things to other people. Any comments on the 2nd idea? It sounds a little bit more unreal as in real life your weapon would not shoot a tracer for zooming in and not shoot a tracer for not being zoom in. Maybe even improve on that idea, the more you zoom in, the bigger/easier the tracer trail is to see.

BTW, I came up with that idea in bed and I am trying to make something original and fun (have the word idea my title for a reason). I can use my imaginiation well if I have enough time, I normally come up with them every once in awhile and post some here. These are some ideas I posted awhile back to pervent the weapon from being abuse at close ranage. One was to make the weapon to make the weapon do less damage if shot at close range and the 2nd idea was to make the weapon do no damage at all unless the range was at "sniping/long" range.

exactly why would they add tracers to a sniper rifle? that defeats the whole purpose...
maybe use tracers when the sniper rifle is UN-SCOPED, because it's used more as a rifle that way.

The Lightning Gun already gives you away, even without zooming in. But what would be the point of a rifle that can't zoom in? Sniping would be almost impossible then for some. The shock rifle already has long range without zoom.

Renegade Retard, thanks :tup: . I'm getting better at least, I like seeing what some people think of my ideas. Soon I might be able to come up with a idea better then the 2nd one.
