Is it just me or does it look like a pump-action sniper rifle?

It seems to be common. The sniper rifle from the E3 vid chambered the first round by way of a pump. It would seem that this class seems to like that method.

Interesting this sniper class

Interesting this sniper class pumps off over 2 rounds per second.  I think pump is a kind of awkward mechanic for a sniper rifle, but meh, there's so many variations of guns in the game I suppose if I don't like it I can just use something else.

This sniper rifle deals lower

This sniper rifle deals lower damage than the other sniper rifles do, too. Since I doubt it's a lower level weapon, I think it is more akin to what the M14 is to t1 he R700 from CoD4.

 

I'm pretty sure that the pump just gets the first round in the chamber, then is unnecessary until you reload from scratch. Semi-automatic.

Other LBs

Here's the Vladof LB20 for comparison.

And the S&S Munitions LB.

These are interesting guns. Less accurate and powerful than the GGN's, but a much better rate of fire.

 They seem to be drilling off

 They seem to be drilling off some pretty high DPS with pretty decent accuracy.  They're really just a hair below the damage of GGN sniper rifles, but firing 2X to 3X as fast.

And I wouldn't be suprised if

And I wouldn't be suprised if one of the guns above shot pistol rounds. I love that one rifle with the revolving chamber in the E3 demo.

 I see magazines on both those ones, but I've heard there are revolver rifles in the game, although honestly, I think I more invisioned them firing slugs than pistol rounds, pistol rounds aren't very impressive

Hey BG

One thing I have noticed about the 'acuracy' is the lower the better. it is more of a stability rating. How much it will sway and move.
