Sniper O.C.C.
Sniper O.C.C.
Snipers are usually trained and used by militaries and law enforcement
agencies. They can also be found in mercenary groups and occasionally
freelancing. They are trained to get close to the target with out being seen
and kill the target. The goal is to do this in one shoot. The reason for this is
that the more you shoot at the target the more likely they will spot you and
shoot back or the target may escape. The work of a sniper will often require
them to work alone. At the best they will usually only get a spotter to help the
sniper identify targets and watch his back. This problem though is not faced by
snipers working for law enforcement units.
