I don't completely know about balancing, but basic rules:
No 1 shot kills at any range w/o precision damage.
No overpowered abilities (Ill be the judge of that)
No other rules noted
Have At It!
My Humble Opinion
Excuse Me Sir, May I Speak?
Exotic Sniper Rifle
Primary Weapon
Possesses No Scope (Not a noscoping gun)
Precision damage is lowered to slightly better than scout rifle (x2.5 instead of x10 or whatever snipers get)
Has small iron sights, akin to a hand cannon, but a little more archaic, and slightly larger
Has a mid length 9 shot magazine (also aesthetically on the bottom)
First Perk: Luck in the chamber
Exotic Perk: Humbling Opinion (Precision hits overpenetrate, Precision kills make the target explode and increase reload speed, as well as granting a damage bonus)
Bolt Action Sniper, Increased Reload time and you have to unscope to reload between shots (Happens automatically)
1st option set(Normally scopes, but this has no scope)
Snapshot
Custom Optics
Single Point Sling
2nd option set
High Caliber Rounds
Explosive Rounds
Extended Mag
Designed as to be just something different, no idea why, just liked the idea, so thought I'd share

[b]Rock, Paper, Scissors[/b] - [i]Is this nothing more than a game?[/i] - Legendary - Shotgun - Stats similar to The Comedian - Perk #1: Killing gives a small damage buff - Perk #2 : This weapon now does Void, Solar and Arc damage, however, it will select the element randomly when fired. [b]Sidewinder[/b] - [i]Draw.[/i] - Exotic - Handcannon - Similar stats and style to The Last Word - Equipped in the special weapon slot - Perk #1: This Weapon can be drawn incredibly fast. - Perk #2: Upon drawing this weapon and firing, you have a chance to fire the entire magazine. - Additional Notes: I fear this one is too close to TLW. [b]Goliath[/b] - [i]This will teach David[/i] - Exotic - Sniper Rifle - Equipped in the Heavy Weapon slot - This is basically a giant flak cannon sniper - Over the shoulder with a large scope - 2 round magazine - Very slow reload speed - Small reserve ammo - Perk #1: This weapon causes is victims to explode into Arc damage. - Perk #2: This weapon over penetrates enemies. - Additional Notes: Think about the Atlas .22 in Advanced Warfare. I have more ideas, I'm just too lazy right now, will write more if requested.
