The Snipetron is a 
Corpus built sniper rifle. Its high focus on 
Puncture damage makes it an ideal weapon for bringing down heavily armored targets.
It was retired from the market due to lore issues where Corpus do not utilize weapons that fire bullets, but rely on energy weapons or railgun technology. Its blueprint would later be reintroduced as an event reward for completing certain events, most recently Operation: Plague Star.
