No argument there. The only advantage subsonic have is what the rules give it, not what common sense dictates.

All the same, I still like pulling the 'impossible' shots with him. Ever see the movie where the sniper in it punches a hole in the wall to get the target, and usually go by the callsign 'god'? I forgot the name of the movie... but 'god'?

That's me.

I'd also point out that Clearsight is a drone AutoSoft, not something that a runner can use to boost his own skills.

Using Clearsight in a drone-modified rifle, the RIFLE is in autonomous mode doing the aiming, not you. Your personal skills and attributes do not add to the test. The rifle in autonomous mode can do a Sensor+Clearsight Active Targeting test to increase it's tests to hit that target, but that won't help YOUR tests.

Now, if you have a drone-modified rifle, you CAN do a Sensor+Perception roll to get the same boost to your subsequent firearm tests, but Clearsight is not added in.

In short, Clearsight = Drone Use Only, and only when the drone is in autonomous mode.

I wasn't the one that picked what programs it has, though now that you mention the sensors + perception...

I presume with a tacnet on both the flyspy (and sprite) and in my own commlink, the sprite to roll it's clearsight + sensor to assist my own sensor + perception to lock onto the target.

Is that a reasonable assumption? It's a bit of a streatch, but for those times he absolutely has to hit...

[KarmaInferno]

Well, if your GM is allowing it, sure, GM can houserule anything.

I suppose your GM could rule it to be a Teamwork Test, such that the Drone rolls it's Sensor+Clearsight test first, and you get to add it's net hits as bonus dice to your Perception test for Active Targeting.

But by standard SR4 rules Clearsight does not apply to your skill tests.

Drones have three operational modes: "Jumped In", or VR mode; "Remote Operation", or AR mode; and "Autonomous", which is when it's operating on it's own. When in VR or AR mode the drone's Pilot & Autosofts are more or less disabled, and you use YOUR skills plus either Command or Sensor.

Currently my Gunslinger Adept is carrying two Ares Predators in hidden arm slots.  She also keeps two Colt Manhunters on a quick draw holster.  She prefers using the Ares, however, she uses the Manhunters because they are not smartlinked.  My Ares are also modified with Gecko Grip.  However, I plan on adding much much more to them.

At the moment I'm making a face/thief kind of character. I read the SR4A to see what I wanted for him. For sneaky situations he's got a Government 2066 with easy breakdown, internal sound surpressor and a laser sight. It should be concealable enough to get trough most security stations and does not attract much attention. If though I do get unwanted attention there lays in the trunks of his car a nice toy! Its a M23 (because it looks like the good ol' M16) with a 100 round drum, gas vent 3, shockpad and foregrip.

I know it had to be covered here, but i'm a big fan of those two Fabrique Nationale products - Five-SeveN Tactical, and P90. And i loved those toys even before watching SG-1 and Atlantis. They're light, efficient, customizable, handy, have a big magazine, and are suitable pick for a defensive weapon. Because most of the time my character would be offensive with Ligthning Bolts, and Manabolts.

I still roll my eyes seeing Stargate soldiers being sent into frontline combat with personal defense weapons, though.

Its SG, what you gonna do? Realism isn't really high on their list, mate.

Um, ya.

Seriously, though, I have all 10 seasons of SG-1 and three of Atlantis.  Love the series, tons of fun.

They MacGyver'd a babel fish in Episode 0 of the first season*. Haven't you seen it?

GOD is actually a navy/marine term. Long range snipers are called GODs. It stands for "Gun On Demand" and squads can call for GOD support similar to the way they might all in an air strike. Obviously not all squads have this support, but that's where the term comes from.
