N18 Help me decide how to equip my master of shadows for my delaque gang

Sniper weapons on the whole are rather unimpressive. I'm working on some homebrew rules that might make them a little more fun.

Depends how you use them.
The long rifle and long las are perfectly adequate to take out juves and gangers.
Consider the plasma gun and melta.
They were designed, lorewise, to punch holes in space marines and tanks.
A specialist can do good work with a long rifle sniping lonely juves leaving your big guns to focus on the Brutes and champions.

True, but you're using up a precious special weapon slot to do that. This works ok early in a campaign when you might not have sufficient credits to afford 3-4 powerful special (or heavy) weapons, but when credits are no longer such an obstacle, performance becomes more of an issue.

That's what the tools of the Trade rule is for.

That's ok as long as you're not randomizing loadouts.
And it's just fine if you allow weapon swaps or reselling gear back to the TP.

OP have you made a gang on here yet, if so may help to post it?
