How much DAM and DPS does the sniper rifle and the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle do now (with handloads too)?

Mine is not patch with 1.02 yet since I'm using the PC version.

Anyway, my Sniper Rifle's and GCSR's DAM and DPS with the old patch:
(Note: Guns Skill is 100)

SR with Normal Bullets: DAM: 63 DPS:185
SR with Handloads: DAM: 94 DPS: 236

GCSR with Normal Bullets: DAM: 91 DPS: 197
GCSR with Handloads: DAM: 91 DPS: 251

A huge drop in damage with the new patch, am I right? Oh, dear.... :shakehead:

As of patch 1.02, the sniper rifle went from 62 to 42 damage, to balance it out because of the fact it had such a fast firing rate. It's still more valuable in most cases than the Hunting Rifle.

The Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle's page doesn't say what it's damage was reduced to.
