There was a specilist cobra sniper proposed for the ARAH line but it never got made.

Well in our "Reality" Wouldn't it be the Night Vipers with maybe Laser Viper spotters?
Joes had tons of "spotters" Even their snipers were labeled spotters

The Cobra Soldiers were qualified sniper since they came with Dragonov sniper rifles and of course, Viper's and Night Vipers fit the bill.

Night-Vipers were really the closest to filling that particular category. I know that's what I use the handful I have for. Never really liked my COBRA troops in green, unless they were Toxo-Vipers.
In fact the best design I've ever seen for a COBRA sniper-type trooper is Wry1's design. Python Officers also double as snipers as well in my Joeverse but their exclusive to the Python Patrol. As for unique COBRA characters, Yoho Joe over at the Joebattelines boards made a custom figure a few years back for me of a character I came up with. A Russian ex-Spetsnaz sniper named Sickle.

I always pictured the Night Vipers as snipers.

Like they said, troopers came with Dragunovs, which I never understood. In their defense, the Dragunov is not the ideal sniper's rifle, it was made so it could be handed off to someone who was a pretty decent shot with an AK or SKS- then that individual would be the designated unit marksman.
Would that be awesome to have a Sniper Viper? Hell yeah. But as it stands there isn't an awesome Sniper Rifle to pass off on a custom. |
