Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/Makeshift Sniper Rifle

The Makeshift Sniper Rifle is a single-shot, two handed scoped rifle featured in Fallout: DUST.

Characteristics
The Makeshift Sniper Rifle is an effective weapon for the early-game sniper. For a .45-70 Gov’t weapon, it is rather weak, with only 55 damage and a one-shot capacity. The weapon also suffers from low durability, being able to manage only 120 shots from full durability. What makes this rifle special is its availability: it can be crafted at a workbench with relatively low Guns skill using fairly common components. Its ammo may be rare, its lifespan short, and its damage lackluster, but in skilled hands the Makeshift Sniper Rifle is one of the staples of an early to mid-game arsenal.
