Night Viper was the closest. But no, there was never an official sniper viper.

Night Viper with his night vision and specialized rifle was the sniper for ARAH, closest thing they ever made for one and they have always been my sniper choice.
The rise of cobra POC themed figures will give us the Night Viper Jungle snipers, with high tech bionic guillie suits and huge high powered depleted uranium shelled heavy long range rifles with satellite guided munitions...they are going to rock n roll! I liked the way they used Zartan as a sniper for hier in Resolute, like the idea of him being a solo assassin for hier instead of a lame jackass Drednok... but they killd him off so fast :( So soon you will have the official cobra sniper. |

Sniper's are generally elite soldiers. There wouldn't be a whole swarm of these guys out there. I imagine within each Viper class, they'd have one guy assigned a sniper's position. No need for a Sniper-Viper.

I'm using the Python Patrol Officer as my Cobra Blueshirt Sniper.

Not necessarily, alot of snipers in many of the worlds conflicts were basic guys/gals...just a guy/gal who was a good shot. There was a really good movie with Jude Law where he played a famous russian sniper, tells his story of how he came to be one of thier best. Also I am not an expert on it but I believe most good snipers work in teams of 2, spotter and shooter but maybe that has changed in the wrold since Billy Zane was an actor in Sniper with Tom Berenger lol... |

There was a specilist cobra sniper proposed for the ARAH line but it never got made.
http://www.yojoe.com/archive/unproduced/shooter.shtml looking at the backpack i think it got redesigned as the Laser Viper.
