Fine, we can refer to Sniper Rifles as "Snipers," but ONLY on the condition that we also call Assault Rifles "Assaults," Submachine Guns "Submachines," Shotguns "Shots," and Handguns "Hands."

Deal?

Taking the above into account, it's not hard to understand someone when they simply say "Sniper;" it's just stupid.
