We already have a bleed weapon for Sniper..

The aim of these weapon stats are to make snipers more productive with their team and help out fellow teammates for an award, criticals being stored in their melee weapon.
Pros:
+20% More Damage to Melee-Equipped enemies (as a counter against Trolldiers or so).
+Assist kills from any sniper weapon store criticals in melee.

Between:
=Does normal base damage against non-melee equipped targets.
=Normal Swing Speed.

Cons:
-Requires two assists to store one critical.

Stats
+20% damage
-15% weapon switch
-20% firing speed

Life steal on hit
-15% damage
-10% draw speed

You can be insta-killed, by players with same weapon

Remove the insta kill. Its usefull on the half-zatoichi (?) because soldiers / Demos go into the battlefield but for sniper its not good

I don't think it matters because snipers don't go into battle often but it's a fun little feature it could have

I rarely see Snipers trying to kill each other with Melee
