Picture above is my concept of how this weapon would look like, I'll probably make a more realistic one later.
" A weapon dating back way before the Golden Age, the underlying frame of this sniper rifle is allegedly the last remaining masterpiece of its namesake master- Muramasa. However, as deadly his blades used to be, a new age has begun, and with it comes armor and flesh, tougher than that of ancestral steel.
So now, as if to regain its former killing glory, the Muramasa has been reborn as a Daito sniper rifle, with bloodthirst greater than the sum of its lone-gone siblings. Because, in the end, the evil of the Darkness has to be met with an even greater one..."
Muramasa is this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muramasa
Muramasa
Exotic Sniper
Void Element
Base Magazine: 4
Description: [b]Drain all that is holy.[/b]
Stats: No point, just imagine a stat profile like Praedyth's with a little bit less stability.
Progression Chart:
[i]Column Zero[/i]
(*) [b]Immortal Bloodthirst[/b]- [u]Kills with this weapon grant Demonic Charges. When 3 Demonic Charges are accumulated, hold down[Reload Button] to harness your blade. [/u]
(*) [b]Crimson Blade[/b]-[u] Hold down [Shoot Button] and release while in blade form to deliver a devastating slash.[/u]
(*) Void Damage- This weapon causes Void Damage.
[i]Column One[/i]
(*) Shortgaze

[i]Column Two[/i]
(*) Clown Cartridge- [u]Reloading this weapon has a chance of granting a larger than normal magazine.[/u]
[i]Column Three[/i]
(*) Snapshot
(*) Lightweight
(*) Field Scout
[i]Column Four[/i]
(*) Army of One- [u]Unassisted kills grant increased grenade and melee energy.[/u]
Specifics:
The exotic perk is basically the ability to transform the sniper into a melee weapon. Three kills with the sniper will grant 3 charges. By holding the reload button for a few seconds, the wielder can literally brandish a blood-infused katana. However, the limiting factor here is that the the mode only lasts as long as 3 slices with the blade, and if you miss your target, it will still count. And, let's not forget that you are [u]not invincible, a shotgun can still OHKO you.[/u] For the second perk: Crimson Blade, by holding down [Shoot Button] to charge and releasing it, the wielder can dash a short distance and instantly kill anybody in his/her way. Distance is based on how long the weapon is charged. Additionally, the wielder [b]can also aim where to slash, be it in the air or on the ground[/b], it will basically be a deadly blink, but with major setbacks (charge time, no other weapons, [b]attack consumes 2 slices[/b].)
Yes, I know Army of One is not a sniper perk, but I think it has a lot of synergy with both forms of this weapon, since they both can be one-hit kills.
TL;DR: It's a sniper that you can use as a blade, what more can you ask for? :)
