what i meant to say is what i think some others have posted-

wouldn't they dig like a hole thats roughly their shape prone, then lay down in it and then get someone to cover them?

i mean like when you go to the beach there is always someone half buried in the sand wouldn't they use the same principle since being in the sand would be better cammo then any other i can think of.

Isnt it pretty easy to spot a sniper in a desert...? I mean... You can see his steps in the sand

It wasnt a .50 caliber sniper. It was a cheytac .408 Its not very known, but its a powerfull gun, if anybody needs a picture I'll find one.

Snipers actually use ghilie suits for PRACTICALLY everything. It all about the color, and type of those strings they use.

lol, YES
the thing looks like a frickin revolver with a magazine, a stock, and a 4 foot barrel.
future weapons episode was pretty cool, with the gps and corialis effect calculating thingy

this thing should be in game and allow you to snipe people from ACROSS the map lol

90mph tape (duct tape for the non-military) around the bottom of your boots takes care of that.
