Sometimes, sniper rifle fires two projectiles in a single shot. It's not just visuals, there are 2 bullets -- i've seen one of them hitting the wall and other -- the alien somewhere about 10 squares from the first hit.
Screenshot attached.

Two sniper rifle bullets flying in parallel

The bug seems to be visual in nature. I have seen this happen many times, but it never uses more than that one shot of ammo. The same bug can also happen with the Electromagnetic Rifle.

is this still the case?

I've never noticed it, but never tried to replicate it. I'll try and load up a skirmish and shoot lots of sniper rifles and see if I can tell.

I can confirm this happens. But I've looked in the weapon definitions and can't see any reason for this. There is no delaybetweenshots, which can cause multiple shots to appear on a single-shot weapon.

I looked at the particles and nothing jumped out at me, but that might be the source of the problem, so I'll assign this to Crystan.
