We wanted to shoot down a bird at about 1 km-1.2 km.
(It turned out to be a thunderbird, and then turned out to be a secretive
PC in disguise, who then turned out to be a free spirit... 'twas a long
session!)

We use them for corp penetrations. One memorable run: A favorite NPC had
come down with a baaaaad virus after a run on a Shiawase complex that went
wrong (and stolen samples got loose, etc). So we wanted to bust in there
to find out what had bit him, so he could be fixed. We picked a night with
much storminess and rainy-ness :) The group sniper sat up in a nearby park
and popped one of the motions sensors on the roof. We waited; a guard
popped up and saw that apparently all was well. Everyone Nightglided
(Nightglid?) across, after the first guy over (our B&E expert) had slipped
a sock over the thermo sensor.
The most fun bit was my character trying to land all the nightgliders -
she's a rigger, and no-one else could fly the darned things, so I did it
remotely. Lucky I didn't splatter anyone into the sides of the building,
the way I rolled.
Anyway, enough rambling. :) That's the way we use sniper rifles. :)
