First things first:
Some sniper rifle name
+25% fire rate while scoped.
No unscoping between shots
Has a magazine that holds 3 bullets and must unscope to reload
-100% charge rate
(Basically, you can fire three shots while remaining scoped, before you're forced to unscope to reload)
According to Valve, the charge mechanic was originally implemented to make snipers actually behave like snipers by giving them a reason to stand relatively still while scoped. This accomplishes that same goal by removing the charge mechanic and replacing it with a 3-shots-before-unscoping mechanic. Giving you the same 450 damage, just spread out over 3 shots.
Basically, the idea is that instead of trying to nail a charged headshot against targets that need it, you instead need to rely on multiple consecutive hits, while at the same time encouraging some bodyshotting (headshot+bodyshot to kill a pyro, say), but discouraging repeated bodyshots due to the lower overall DPS due to the reload time. You also lose the ability to switch weapon and come back to a loaded rifle due to the magazine mechanic.
(Basically, the idea of this weapon was to give players use of the Hitman's Heatmaker without being reliant on kills and gauges, but without overpowering it by doing so).
Magazine fed sniper rifle (Bear with me here...)
