LP97S posted:Am I the only person who thinks that the idea of a sniper scope on a rifle in Star Trek is just loving absurd? All of this super amazing technology involving sensor arrays and levitation technology and forcefields, and this assassin is still using loving optics and hand-stabilizing his weapon. Is there some bullshit technobabble justification for this? I'm pretty sure I skipped that movie so I have no idea.

a scattering baryon field present at most diplomatic events and aboard most starships and space stations prevents small hand weapons from attaining an automated lock-on, thus requiring visual guidance. "But why not throw a camera on the gun and hook it up to a computer? Surely in the 24th century a computer onboard a phaser is powerful enough to do image interpretation." a quadrant-wide accord specifically prohibits the use of "smart" weapons. this is why the cardassians were so reprehensible, they were willing to go against said accords and released a bunch of weapons like that, they even left some on the station
