I agree with your overall idea, of trying to stop the sniper from being used in close range, but giving it 100 damage would only increase it's use like this. As it currently stands, only the people who can use the sniper pistol combo well are using the sniper for CQC. if damage was at 100, all the noobs would use it, because even though it is very inaccurate, they are mostly depending on luck to make their shots anyhow. It would just turn into the next shotgun.
I think the best way to make the sniper rifle a sniping weapon would be to have a damage increase if you are scoped in, and have a delay/settling time, so you couldn't scope in quickly. However, i don't think people will like this, because though AC doesn't try to be as realistic as possible, most players like having a healthy dose of realism.
