This wasn't my idea and I thought fredy was kidding. Please do not downvote me in the Employee Satisfaction survey as no one in TFU command thought this would be added as a genuine addition to the Armory.
I am Liasoning with the Senior Management Team as we speak to arrange for Policy surrounding the AS50 Rifle to be used only in
very specific scenarios. This will allow its use without worrying about breaking any policy, but at the same time, Stop it being deployed to contained and isolated smaller firearms Incidents.
As for the close range usage, See below:

Just because its not explicitly named within the Policy (since it didnt exist) It is still within the sniper rifles category, Hence the use of the wording "Such as", Implying "Not limited to, here is some examples". As such, anyone who used it in this manner is subject to a Policy Violation Disciplinary. If anyone else here has been using this weapon like this, Contact me immediately as I am currently viewing the logs of the weapon's use and calculating distances between their death log and your kill log, and honesty will make this more favourable. I have been made aware of a few cases of this happening, these officers are going to be contacted.
As
@Dave said the advantage probably isn't enormous,
when the policy regarding sniper rifles is followed. If you're LARPing as
@Jack Bruhross and running into shootouts with an AS50 like its a shotgun, Hate to break it to you, you have violated Policy. If it just makes crime unplayable, it will be removed and Time will tell if that will be the case.
Now, to reiterate, I
am working to implement a policy specifically referring to its use, as well as deciding how we treat incidents involving this weapon being misused. Ideas include:
- Reserving it only for use in widespread shootouts as opposed to more isolated incidents.
- Allowing an exception to the previous Policy if a similar weapon, Such as M82, AWM or AS50 is in use by a criminal at the incident.
- Considering shooting a vehicle with the AS50 acceptable only in circumstances where you could justify by policy killing them, so it isn't used to 1 shot fleeing cars, even if the tires are aimed for.
- Policy Violations involving the AS50 being misused will be viewed upon with significantly more severity due to the power of the weapon. This includes crossfire killings.
