| | | Paint Ball Snipers |  The benefits of having a well trained sniper team to
aid in operations of a paramilitary group cannot be
understated. Even in the American civil war,
sharpshooters called "skirmishers" stayed on the
outskirts of the troop position, and scouted for the
enemy, killing them when they could, and perhaps
drawing others into an ambush.
The use of snipers in warfare is becoming as common as
warfare itself. With the use of snipers, even the
tiniest force can destroy the morale of a much larger,
better equipped force. With the high success rate of
snipers in actual combat, it only stands to reason
that paint ball snipers would be just as useful to a
paint ball force.
Much like military snipers, paint ball snipers require
specially modified weapons and high quality ghillie suits. Paint ball sniper rifles
are generally more expensive than regular paint ball
markers. Most feature an extended barrel. This longer
barrel adds a purported twenty percent difference in
distance and accuracy. Unfortunately, besides this
difference, there is little difference between a paint
ball marker designed for sniping and one used for
marking.
However the paint ball sniper, even without a real
advantage in shooting equipment, has other advantages
inherent of sniping. The superior camo coverage and
stealth can really help out a stranded comrade, who
has been pinned down by enemy fire. A paint ball
sniper doesn't do as much moving as an actual sniper.
When playing as a sniper at paint ball, it is
important to lie in wait and let the enemy's attack
forces move past, and attack from the rear. Another
well known tactic is to take up a position on a high
hill to control a larger area. |
