Bogomol

The Bogomol is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 15.2.0 Snipers vs. Shotgunners: Night Ops update. It can be upgraded to the Bogomol Up1.
== Appearance ==
It appears as a rigid makeshift pneumatic air rifle .
It has a wooden frame stock with a large dark blue air tank with a grey valve and a pipe connected to the body of the weapon. The body is grey and has a grey bolt handle and ejection port, and has a makeshift scope mount with a scope taped onto it.
It also features a blue handguard with a air pipe on the bottom and a grey barrel.
When equipped, a green bar will appear near the bottom of the screen, which will decrease as more shots are fired.
== Strategy ==
When at full power, it does devastating damage, able to one shot a medium armored player when hit in the head with a secondary knockback effect, however this decreases overtime.
To regain power, the player must either reload the weapon or wait after a period of time in order for the tank to refill air, depending on how much shots was fired.
This is also paired with a slow rate of fire, an average ammo capacity and decent mobility.
