Description:

The Doomhammer sniper was created for the ranged combat that the Ravens frequently engage in. Needing a reliable service sniper for their forces Colap set about to make a well balanced powerful rifle.

Keeping in mind the Modern armours and the combat techniques of the Force users of the Galaxy Colap went with a Fifty Caliber tungsten slug. The heavier metal provided more penetrating capability. Combine this with the weight of the round and the length of the barrel the round can travel much farther but slower than conventional slughtrower rounds.

The weakness of the weapon is that is has a low magazine capacity and must be maintained with weapon oils and kept clean in order to work properly.

Just to clarify, this weapon is 3.5 meters long? That's roughly 11 feet.

Here's a typical slugthrower sniper rifle in the EU canon: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Adventurer_slugthrower_rifle

The average length of a sniper is approximately 170 cm (1.7 m) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_M82 as an example).

I suggest a weight of between 4 and 8 kg.

Weight: 4-8kg

I meant a weight between those two. Such as 4.5kg or 7kg or any singular measurement of weight.
