There will be "Long Rifles" or "Light Rifles" (terms interchangeable, but Long Rifle was the more recent version, I believe).
They are more effective at range than other weapons, and they do a lot more damage per shot, but at the cost of firing rate.
They can have scopes, which makes them sniper rifles.
Brink snipers aren't going to be nonexistent, but we also aren't going to be able to camp in one spot dealing out instant death to anyone who passes through our sights.
We're fire support, basically. We finish of targets you're too busy to keep shooting, and we soften up the biggest threats for the people in the front lines.
