Hey, I was thinking of making a character who sniped/ used guns from far ranges, but I also kinda wanted to use energy weapons, so I was wondering which skill (guns or energy weapons) had more snipers/ long ranged guns (like rifles i guess) available early on, and which ones would be better to use.

A sniper is someone who uses a long-ranged rifle to shoot people from far away
A sniper rifle is a rifle designed for said purpose.

You can't pick up a sniper with your two hands and carry him around regardless of the skills you choose, so why do you ask?

Guns is more valuable than energy weapons. Literally one of the first weapons you get (the varmint rifle) can be accurized and you can put a scope on it. Then, once you reach a town called Novac, you're able to obtain a bolt action rifle (hunting rifle) that can also mount a scope.

cool thanks.
