The Bazaar Bargain is a 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. The butt of the rifle is curved with a golden end.
The Bazaar Bargain has a base charge rate penalty of -20. Successfully scoring a headshot increases the charge rate of the next shot of the weapon. On the other hand, taking body shots lengthens the charge time, and missing a shot completely clears the bonus. The bonus caps out at +30, after 5 consecutive headshots.
This item was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Sniper Rifle 1.

Trivia
- The Bazaar Bargain is based on the jezail[1], 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 a heavily curved stock and rifled barrels, which gave them a great advantage in range and accuracy over the smoothbore firearms that were commonly used up until the mid-19th century.
- A 'Template:W' is a Persian word which describes large markets where goods are sold. Bazaars can be found across the world, though they are most common in the Middle East, primarily in Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.
