Look, if oyur sniper has been spotted and starts whiping off HE all
over the show
he wont act as a sniper for the rest of the mission. The entire
mission profile will
change. If he does realise he has been spotted, he should move damnit,
not let rip
with HE.

Besides, he should have a spotter and other teammates taking up the
enemy's attention
so that he can fulfil his role, right?
