For some reason I don't think that the bonus damage from Sharpshooter is doubled on a crit but I can't find the rule that states this. Can someone please clarify or point me to the rule?

On a crit you roll the damage dice twice and add them together (PHB p196). Static damage bonuses, such as that provided by Sharpshooter, are not doubled on a crit.

Just like Xaspian said. If you roll a die for damage, roll it again. If you didn't you just add or subtract the number once.

 

My only change to the rule, and it's a minor one, is to make an unarmed strike 1d1 so you get a WHOLE POINT OF DAMAGE MORE!!!
