its not about damaging the sniper, its about making him miss his shot, and if a 4 dmg pellet hits him, he most likely will, if the sniper is even around long enough to get hit, most snipers back away under pressure, it's basically essential for the sniper, most of the time the sniper has no choice but to back away, (solider firing rockets from battlements). you need only to close the gap, and then every other class dominates the sniper weapon wise, sure the sniper is the only one that can do easy dmg long range, but it is also the class that does the least dmg close range.

iggy's right, every weapon fires long range, don't stand around and wait to be hit. fight back, its not supposed to be an easy ride into the enemy base.

and squeek, for most of this thread the conversation has been that the sniper is the ONLY class with long range effectivness, iggy is simply saying that other classes have long range effectivness. the sniper may be the MOST effective long range weapon, but i would say the rocket launcher is the most effective short range weapon. all waepons fire long distances and can hit a sniper... the sniper rifle just hapeens to be the best at it.
