Does 'overcharging' a sniper increase its damage?
As a Sniper, I know that if I charge my sniper rifle, it will do more damage, but does the time for which it is 'overcharged' (i.e. scoped in when the charge meter is already full) affect the damage it does on its next shot?
The reason I ask is that, a couple of times, I have scoped in for about 30 seconds (in a sneaky spot) and have dealt about 500-600 damage (which is more than enough to kill even a fully-overhealed Heavy). Is this just a coincidence?
If 'overcharging' a sniper does increase its damage, is there an upper limit to how much damage it can do?

On this page, you can read about the sniper Machina, which is a sniper that deals 15% extra damage when fully charged.
"A fully charged shot fired by the Machina delivers an extra 15% damage, can pierce through multiple enemies, and has a distinct firing sound."
This is the only sniper that gets bonus damage for being fully charged.
