Desirability
"Sniper" is extremely accurate and hits brutally hard, two factors that make using it tempting in spite of its horrible delay. Even at maxed out Crossbows skill, your attacks will take nearly twice as long as they would with a slow two-handed melee weapon. That being said, landing a shot with this thing is capable of wreaking phenomenal amounts of damage to opponents, and if you have an enemy at the edge of your line of sight, a skilled-user can still get several shots in before they manage to reach melee range with you. It may not offer many unusual intrinsic benefits or effects, but monstrous damage output is justification enough.
History
Prior to 0.15, "Sniper" was a standard crossbow with a +15 enchantment and the vorpal brand, but it was given a slower-than-normal rate of fire.
Prior to 0.14, "Sniper" had a +10,+0 enchantment level and the venom brand.
