A soldier in a military unit who specializes in long-range operations, stealth, and stalking targets. Snipers are trained to make accurate shots over distances exceeding 800m and up to 1500m. Unlike squad designated marksmen, the sniper operates at longer distances and works, ordinarily, with only a spotter, and not with a squad. Snipers normally employ the use of bolt-action rifles, high-caliber sniper rifles, or scoped battle rifles to carry out their mission, though they do carry pistols and knives as a last resort.
Soldier 1: We have a runner. Joe, take him out!
Soldier 2: Negative. Joe can't shoot for shit. Walter's a better sniper. Get him to take him out.

A role played in most shooting games, probally the most annoying for other players but still the most skillfull role. A player who prefers to snipe uses a scoped rifle to hunt down enemy players and end their existance quickly and with a single shot so their position remains hidden. It is often difficult to remove a sniper who has a good point by convectional means as they will see you coming unless you flank them. Snipers often move when their position is comprimised making them easy unarmed targets as a scoped rifle is useless is close quaters.

-----Snipers are also real life military personel but are often reffered to professional as scouts.
