Actually I think the act of sniping makes someone a sniper. Training, experience or equipment makes for a skilled or prepared sniper. Any deranged yahoo who scales a bell tower with a long range weapon and starts shooting people can be called a sniper. This being said I do not think it is a stretch to call highly trained member of an evil terrorist organization who is carrying a rifle specifically designed for sniping a sniper.

Knowing Cobra Commander, I doubt they are Dragunov's, More like Romak 3's.

I concede that in the Fox-news,Ann Coulter sense of the word you are correct, any yahoo with a rifle and a semi concealed position is a sniper. I was referring to the military definition of the word. A sniper being a purpose trained marksman equipped with a precision rifle, whose training would include marksmanship, concealment, observation skills, etc. In that respect, i do not agree that cobra infantry would be snipers. At best, they would be squad level designated marksmen following the soviet doctrine that the dragunov was manufactured for. Tenken |
