a remarkably skilled marksman in real life, or in a video game
1)in the video game scenario, he/she is usually considered "cheap", a "noob", or a coward
(s)he usually pisses off those of the other team by sniping them from halfway across the map from a very covert location.
although (s)he is a threat from far away, one can strafe back and forth to avoid being shot while closing in on his/her location, and if the player gets to close enough to the sniper, the sniper is rendered virtually useless because "unscoped" shots are particularly hard to pull off
2)a sniper may also piss off his teammates, too, by shooting the person the player is sneaking up on, therefore making the sniper a "kill stealer"

for professional school students (med school, law school, etc.)
like a gunner, but instead of letting everyone know he/she is a gunner, this person silently works hard, but appears very chill; in the end he/she kicks everyone's ass when the exam grades come out.

med student: dude man, he is a gunner.
med student2: no man, he's a sniper; never see him study and super chill, but just keep getting As

A game that's amusing to watch if there's a large crowd.
Someone shouts out "sniper" and anyone who hears falls to the ground as quickly as possible, as if there actually is a sniper present.
Once everyone is down, the people on the floor aren't allowed to stand back up until the person who has previously shouted, "sniper" declares "false alarm, it's safe now".
Be completely amusing if it was a flash mob, such as the T-Mobile adverts.

Jack: "Sniper!"
-everyone falls to floor, waits twenty minutes-
Jack: "Oh, false alarm. It's safe now".

An alcoholic beverage that consists of 4oz Bacardi 151. Bacardi 151 must be 75.5% alcohol by content or greater.
In order for it to be "The Sniper" all the alcohol must be consumed in a single tip of the glass at a rapid rate; no gulp, gulp, breath, gulp, gulp, breath, ahhhhhh.
First created and coined in Algonquin Hall (Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton) by some college students, it has become a challenge for many people to attempt. The drink was first consumed by an individual called Rambo aka ZJB.

Dude, I don't know if anyone can drink "The Sniper" twice in one night! I mean, that's why they call it "The Sniper" - one shot one kill.

one person in a team of two. the sniper is the firing man of the two and the other is called a spoter. the spoter is the brains of this group his job is to caculate all affects on the bullet such as humidity bullet density ect. snipers rarely work alone depending on the type of sniper. scout snipers rarely take a shot 98% of their job is scouting leaving the 2% as firing the rifle. of that 2% most of the firing is on tactical equipment. a combat sniper is found working with a squad and is almost always alone. the reason why this is is: combat sniping is used for shorter distances meaning a spoter is not always necesary. so please little kids who play CoD stop saying your a sniper and have some respect for the real ones.(do not mention a sniper without spoter following close behing)
the sniper team moved into position to for the FFP if needed but their primary mission was to relly all movements made by the target.
