Total LOL,Your statement shows how limited your knowledge is...and will get you killed, in certain circumstances, and environments of engagement.In the real world, you're not moving around with a scoped LR weapon as your primary when your threat is in a cqb environment.
Someone has been watching Gunny Beckett a bit too much this week.
Carlos Hathcock moved around in the jungle and stalked his victims, many times alone with his bolt action sniper rifle, ..it's called Scout Sniper. Emphasis on the Scout part of the sniper program, as did other 2 men teams of the time. Sometimes Assigned to kill a certain enemy, personnel.
Not like the desert in Iraq, surrounded by a bunch of troops with the protection of armored vehicles, machineguns, air support, and radio commication. Where any decent shooter can be called a sniper, or designated marksman.
The 18 to 21 yr old girls of the Russian army in WW2 were assigned sniper duty and killed more Nazis than any American soldier in history in 1945 with 3X scopes...girls with kills were over 300 ..sniper is just a tool nothing more ...nothing special.
