Bazaar Bargain
“ | Can you believe the Sniper found an old bolt action rifle, a long piece of metal, some bolts, one half of a binocular and a military grade laser sight, ALL for just under three dinars?

The Bazaar Bargain is a community-made primary weapon for the Sniper. It is a long ornately carved rifle with a small circular sight attached to a long rod, secured with golden straps. It has a curved stock with a golden recoil pad and a laser sight attached under the barrel.
This weapon features a specific bonus attuned to headshots. At the bottom-right of the screen, there is a head counter very similar to the Demoman's Eyelander. Upon spawning, the headshot counter is set to 0. As such, the zoomed charge rate of the weapon is 20% less than that of the Sniper Rifle. Upon the player successfully scoring a headshot, the charge rate of the next shot taken will be 7.5% faster.
Subsequent headshots will increase the charge rate by 7.5% increments, until the bonus caps out at 6 consecutive headshots, at which the weapon will have a 45% faster charge rate than the default Sniper Rifle. Should the player deliver a scoped body shot or miss while scoped in, however, the headshot counter will decrease by one and the charge rate will decrease by 7.5%. Unscoped shots taken with the weapon will not affect the charge rate. Hitting an Engineer's building while scoped in counts as a "miss".
This item was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Sniper Rifle 1.

Bugs
- The headshot counter won't show up in minimal HUD mode unless the Jarate is equipped.
- This weapon still charges as fast as Sniper Rifle at 0 Head despite the "Base charge rate decreased by 20%" penalty.
- If random critical hit is disabled, after the player successfully scoring a headshot, any subsequent scoped body shots will increase the bonus.
- If an Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron wielding Demoman kills a Sniper with headshots on the counter, the number of headshots will be transferred over to the Demoman's head count, as well as the Sniper's own head.
- This weapon does not glow when crit boosted.
Trivia
- The Bazaar Bargain is based on the jezail, a type of musket that was commonly used in the Middle East. While the quality and manufacture of such weapons differed widely, a common feature of these weapons lay in their use of rifled barrels and a heavily curved stock, the former of which gave them a great advantage in range and accuracy over the smoothbore firearms that were commonly used up until the mid-19th century.
