[RFC][SI][Multi-Xover]Being You is Suffering

Yes. Yes, they would.

I do have one question, though. Let me just illustrate it with my thoughts as I read.

Each pull of the trigger discharged one of the seven capacitors. It
took five seconds for a capacitor to charge,

Seven capacitors, times five seconds, equals thirty-five seconds. Quite a while in combat.

If you fire off all seven at once, maybe. Fire one, let it start charging while you fire another, repeat. The first six seconds of recharge time go to the second through seventh shots - by which time the first capacitor is recharged, so you have an eighth shot if you need it.

and that time grew with
the number of capacitors charging.

So more than 35 seconds? Harsh. This definitely isn't a weapon for spraying or praying.

Sniper rifles rarely are. You wouldn't take this to a gunfight any more than you'd take a grenade.
