In my mind the sniper role is a whole package, stealth, recon, long range precision, patience and skill to adapt and be efficient in the situation at hand.
I'v been in situations where my FS platform has not been on hand and I'v used a stock rental T-98 to do the job, with all the sneaking involved and the target selection process and the fact that I had another mindset thx to adapting my play style, did i fulfill a sniper role, yes, I'd like to think so.
Could I'v had gotten of better in some situations with a FS platform? yes probably.
Was the stock 98 capable of doing the job? You guessed it, yes it delivered.
To argue about personal preference is all fine and dandy, but facts are facts, and different platforms do the job in different manners however all this amounts to nothing if the operator is not skilled with his tools.
In the end it's the man, not the tool that does the job, and it is the end result that counts.
Sniping is more than excellent marksmanship (tho essential), it's a mindset.
Hope I haven't offended anyone with my rant and as White Feather so nicely put it
"Damn the haters and just play your game the way you want however you can."
