This primary exotic sniper rifle and I have quite the connection, I was awarded this beauty 3 times in last the two days of raiding. I had also purchased it the first time xur sold it. The idea here is marvelous, a "bolt-action" sniper rifle is a powerful, hard hitting weapon.
I believe this weapon requires a buff, not to the damage output outright, but a damage increase to certain parts of the body. Within PvP headshots are a kill, now I think within a range of say, 20 ft or less, a well placed shot in the upper abdomen should be a kill, think about it, how well would you fair after your' heart has been blown out? Arms and legs should remain as is. In PvE the rate of fire hinders its capabilities, the damage out put should be more than that of your secondary (legendary) sniper. Lastly The lackluster reserve ammo should be increased at least to 35 or 40 rounds.
I am a huge fan of snipers and would love for this gun to be a viable choice in combat. Unfortunately this gun a mere novelty that pales in comparison to other primaries.
Much love Bungie! :-)

Mine won't pick up ammo so after my 12 shots are gone it's useless... What's up with it not being able to pick up ammo when so have it equipped?
