Well i believe there are no snipers in paintball. I consider them to be marksman or sharpshooters. Those are the guys who have good barrels and are considerably talented at long balling. What is considered a paintball sniper in my book is an expert at recon and is also the reserve part of the team. I would generally expect them to coordinate flank with the entire team. Of course the team is not one big group, they break into squads. but if there is no proper commo, the sniper, or lonewolf is likely to get hit by friendly fire. On the whole team work is the only solid to win.
