You also get more points depending on the type of ammo used
 
 
For example, kills using the m1 garand give the below points. It looks like the tracer ammo can give ~125-220% more points than crafted ammo.

Positive Effects

  • Reload time reduction.
  • Single round chambering speed.
  • Reduced time to aim-down-sight.
  • Reduced weapon sway while aiming down sight.
  • Reduced recoil.
  • Tightness of crosshair while not aiming down sight.
  • Reduced stamina drain while aiming down sight.
Note: Also see how endurance effects stamina.

Negative Effects

  • Fame point gain rate is significantly reduced with higher rifle skill levels.

Leveling

The rifle skill can be leveled up by:

  • Shooting/killing animals, players, or puppets.
Note: Shooting while standing will give more experience than easier stances, like crouching or laying prone.
  • Reloading
Note: Experience is only gained if a round is fired before reloading. The round does not have to hit a target.
  • Crafting improvised rails and suppressors.


The skill level can only be increased if the player has enough points in their strength attribute to allow it.

Basic: 0.5 STR required
Medium: 1.5 STR required
Advanced: 3.0 STR required

Misconceptions

The rifle skill does not effect:

  • Speed of ranging, windage calculations, and any additional information displayed inside of certain sights. This is determined by the sniping skill.
