I simply don't know what it is good for. Everything about it appears to be identical to the SR8 except that the FR-F1 deals less damage. The reload times appear to be identical, You have to scope out between each shot, and there is no zoom difference between the two weapons. I don't see any reason to use it over the SR8. Maybe it is better at no-scope? I didn't test that but I don't get a crosshair when zoomed out, so its obviously not meant to be no-scoped.
If an FS dev can enlighten me that would be nice, as I currently see no reason to use it besides the fact that it would be a bit of a "hard mode" so to speak.
EDIT: Here is a video where I compare all 3 snipers: http://www.twitch.tv...k907/v/16744718
