I have a friend that use to be an "Airsoft Sniper". He had a G36 "Compact" with a 2 foot long silencer on it (that he took off of his "sniper MP5"), that he used as his "sniper rifle". I used to laugh SOO hard at him, and I started asking if he had his "sniper 1911" with him, or his "sniper Remington 870". It was so silly because basically a sniper is someone that shoots fro ma hidden location. Well, duh, that's kind of what EVERYONE is doing when playing airsoft. I get such a laugh out of the misuse of the term "sniper".
Technically, if I stab you fro ma hidden location, does that mean I am in possesion of a "sniper Benchmade"? Or is there some distance required to be labelled a sniper?
