The difference between "sniper" and "sniper rifle"
People tend to use both terms interchangeably to refer to a sniper rifle. Here's my interpreted differences between the two:
- Sniper rifle: A rifle with high precision and accuracy for long range combat.
- Sniper
-- 1. (Weapon) Any weapon [built] with high precision and accuracy for long range combat.
-- 2. (Person) Any person who uses one's own concealed location for long range combat, capable of being unseen in certain areas.
