Hotline Miami 2 - Casualties; "Full" Combo (53x, 19x) with Sniper Rifle

Your knife is your real primary. Treat your gun as a sidearm... and a convenient little noisemaker.
(Apologies for the random freezing; ShadowPlay was freaking out yet again. In fact, it totally ruined a few minutes or so of the recording, but luckily the screwed up portion only included failed attempts at the first area.)
Like many people, I absolutely hated Casualties during my first playthrough. I had so much trouble with it, it nearly made me not want to play the game as a whole. However, now that I've gone back after improving my skills and figuring out some key strategies, it's not that bad, and I find it to be a pretty enjoyable level.
As far as I know, you can't possibly link the combo before and after the elevator, so this is the "fullest" possible combo one may achieve on this level. If someone has evidence to the contrary, please show me. The only way I could think to make it work would be to shoot while inside the elevator to attract an enemy and then kill them right before the timer ends, but I tried that a few times and it didn't seem to work.
(Side note: You bet I would've motion tracked Daniels' and Beard's faces onto the clip in the beginning, but I don't have the software to do that (Update: Now I've actually gotten pretty decent at motion-tracking by hand (meaning without any special software besides regular old Sony Vegas Pro) and I wish I had gained this skill earlier))

Great Job, man! I am about to approach this level and also if usually I try to beat games without watching people on KZbin to don't make it easier, i came here while looking for information about the sniper rifle. It looks like it has not a wider range than other weapons. Did you find something "special" about it? Apart the fact it one-shots the brutes. Cheers again for your ability

I think the main reasons I like the sniper rifle are its accuracy, fast bullet velocity, increased shift-zoom range, and, as you mentioned, ability to one-shot big guys. I guess I also just kind of like it because it plays very differently from any other gun in the game. However, I think whether you like it or not does come down mostly to personal preference and your general playstyle. I don't think I'd argue it's one of the soldier's best guns by any means (in fact, I feel like I've usually seen people expressing the opposite sentiment), but I think it's fun and far from bad to the point of being unusable. I think it helps to not try to use it as your "primary" weapon. Use your knife for most kills, and only use the sniper when you have to, either to kill big buys, kill enemies at range, or make noise to attract enemies to your position.
