Sniper (DIFFERENT FROM SNIPER RIFLE) = Operates in a team of 2. Moves silently out of combat, gets into position, waits for hours, takes out a single target from 1.5km away after a few minutes of calculations, and leaves the combat area without any further contact.
Squad Designated Marksman (S.D.M.) = Operates within a squad of 6-12. Can be expected to operate like a normal rifleman and is given optics and generally a calibre capable of taking out targets from 1.5-2x past normal rifleman range. Right in the the thick of everything. Snap shooting galore.
WE. DON'T. USE. SNIPERS. They don't exist in our missions. Holy shit.
What about the time with Devils and I as the sniper spotter team in the mission with the downed blackhawk pilots and super exploding bomb factory? We were providing fire from a pretty significant distance and stayed far away from you guys.
