Another dumb idea.
I'm taking the Old Hunting Rifle from the game, adding an idea, and suggesting a price.

You know how the OHR has a scope, but you can't use it? Well, here's my idea. On other servers, like /tg/ or Bay or something, some objects give the benefit of zooming. I'm thinking we could use that with the OHR. Now, I'm thinking this could go an extra screen ahead of you, maybe two if you're pushing it. As long as you have an unblocked line of fire, you could hit the target. It would do regular OHR damage. Of course, you can still use the weapon at close range, but it's really not recommended.

Onto the downsides. Since the OHR is really powerful, it will probably have the ammo inside it + 1 extra clip of ammo separate only. Like looking down an actual scope, your situational awareness takes a big hit. You won't be able to see anything happening around you, but messages will still appear in the chatbox, like using cameras, meaning some guy could sneak up to you and disarm/murder you while you're scoping in a target. Nonetheless, I'd charge 8 telecrystals for it, same as a Spacker.

Summary:
Old Hunting Rifle - 8 Telecrystals
Powerful ranged weapon which can zoom in and shoot someone accurately (without obstruction between gun and target) from 1-2 screens away.
Pros - Powerful weapon, can incapacitate people at long range, good for assassinations.
Cons - Expensive, low ammo, good chance of someone sneaking up on you if you aren't hidden.

Use the chameleon projector on a bush with the scoped rifle and you now have a ghille suit.
