AC 1.1.1 Weapon Discussion

[Vanquish]

Shotgun is already too weak in clan matches, although 90 damage might be acceptable if the shotgun had a decent range.

F1 for that.

Make sniper damage 85 or 90 Other more skilled players have complained that sniping combo (1 shot sniper, two pistol) is still not fast enough to be competitive with their enemy's AR skills.

I think the sniper is fine as it is. I've played clan matches, inters and 1v1s with many competitive snipers who can play against me with AR. The sniper can easily own pretty much anybody regardless of weapon if it's used correctly atm, it's just like rofl said:

a top sniper competes well with a top AR; there just aren't many top snipers.

But I do like your carbine idea! Not so much about it ignoring armour, but the increased firing rate would be awesome. I might even start using it again...
