Yard stare can get 71 with the right scope. Info is on the same site, planet destiny...click on weapon and it gives you the highest possible AA...56 is just base stat. Yasmin is maxed at 69. Hereafter is maxed at 75 Longbow can get to 74 I think shadow veil is maxed at 69 I think the op's overall message that aim assist may be a tad high on snipers is valid and its pretty much confirmed that sniping if easy compared to other games. But seeing as destiny is so shotgun friendly maybe they needed to balance that out by making snipers easier to use
