There are certain times when using a sniper rifle is particulary advantageous in an airsoft game. The best time to use a sniper is in long games; that is, ones that last many hours or even days, and feature the use of medics and lots of players at once. While you can technically use a sniper rifle in nearly any situation, the reason it is best to use it here is because you have a wide area to scope out, and the support offered by a sniper can be critical in certain situations.
The advantages that come from being a sniper are numerous. For one, you are essentially out of the range of any enemies, so while you are safe, they are not. In fact, it is this benefit that is most appealing about being a sniper. Being able to take people out even when they cannot see you is a satisfying idea, although this can be a drawback for some people who like to be right in the action. However, with a large group of people, there is always a mix of interests, so you will definitely have some people who prefer to snipe.
Besides not being in the action all the time, there are some other disadvantages to sniping. For one, if you are constantly looking through your scope in one direction, then you cannot see anybody who is coming from behind you. Therefore, being a sniper leaves open a wide area for you to be attacked, which is why many snipers have a partner who is their eyes for the area they are not watching. Getting somebody to agree to partner with you can be difficult sometimes, but if you can, then you are good.
While some sniper rifles can fire multiple times quickly, many of them can only fire one shot at a time, as they are spring guns. This means you have to be extremely accurate, and if people are rushing up on you fast, you are basically helpless. It is critical that you have some kind of sidearm on you, such as an electric pistol or even a full-on airsoft rifle, to prevent you from being taken out in these kinds of situations.
