The 3 shot clip on the reservist's rifle kinda sucks, but I think it's better all-around than the other unique one.
- Can be repaired with common sniper rifles.
- Has an extremely high critical percent multiplier of x5.
- Players with ten luck, Finesse (+5%), and Survival Guru (+3%), will be able to critical nine out of ten shots! ((10+5+3)*5)=90%.
- Achieving 18%MDPS will give the Reservist's Rifle an effective DPS of 122!
- Costs 6AP less to shoot in V.A.T.S. compared to other sniper rifles (32AP vs 38AP).
- Uses 3 rounds instead of 5 in each magazine.
- Reservist's Rifle has better durability (+50%) than regular sniper rifles.
- Of all sniper rifles the Reservist's Rifle has the fastest rate of fire.
I can attest to the points about the high criticals :O
