The Federated Long Rifle is a semi-automatic sniper/squad marksman's rifle, akin to the real M110 (10 or 20rnd clips), PSG 1 (5 or 20 round clips), M21 (5, 10, or 20 round clips), M40 (5 rounds only), etc. Not everyone in the universe uses a 60-round clip to spray-n-pray like Rambo.
Ok that makes a little more sense to me, but the Federated Long rifle still sounds like more of a M1 Granad or M14.
The ranges of all of these weapons sound a little underpowered, with the exception of laser weapons. Then it gets to be unrealistic.
For example, lets take my old friend the M16a2. A solider can deliver a round to a point target (single) and still be lethal out to 550 meters. Area targets can be hit out to 1200 meters. The US Army pop up target quilifying course has 4 300 meter targets to be engaged. The US Marines have targets out to 500 meters.
Of course with all of the RPG's that I have played, all of the ranges have been screwy.
