To add on to that, I think you should add these to your current stats to make it more combat-ready:

+Does +5% damage for each kill (Up to 6 kills for a +30% damage boost)

-Cannot put away until you get a kill with it

That way, it encourages you to use it only when you need to (as opposed to being helpful in a pinch), and rewards you for being consistent with it.

That just makes it have too many stats, 4's more-or less enough

Also, the slower weapons switch makes it harder to use in a pinch so yeah.

(+) +25% damage
(+) +40% clip size
(+) Every kill: -10% weapon spread, +5% damage. (Max -50% weapon spread, +25% damage)
(-) +33.3% weapon spread
(-) +5% spread/every 10 lost hp

+50% damage, too op.

Maybe if it was like this

(-) +33.3% weapon spread
(-) -10% damage

this is actually a really good idea and maybe if you mixed and matched it with the bearded snipers ideas and you would have a great weapon

+60% clip size [40 rounds]
+??% backup ammo [max ammo is a clip of 40 plus two more full clips, for 120 total bullets]
+kills with this weapon give you a head, separate from bazaar or eyelander heads. Each head increases damage and accuracy by 5%, to a maximum of 30%. At 6 heads you deal 15% more damage than stock and are 30% more accurate.
-15% damage
-25% reload speed

There's probably a better name than heads for the kill counter, but I dont know what it should be. I imagine that kills won't steal heads from other snipers with this gun, whereas heads ARE transferred.
