Yes this makes me feel way better! Now I have no idea if a sniper is staking me or not. I'm never leaving my house/bed/internet for the rest of my lyfe
Anybody anywhere could be watching you through a scope on a rifle. And yes, all you need is a window. And snipers on the internet aren't any less dangerous. Rifles can be remotely controlled via the internet... Although less accurately. But unless someone isn't skilled enough to use an unregistered barrel (rifiling) then it'd just be easier to use a poison or something along those lines.. e.g. pure nicotine, and of course as long as you don't have a motive.
Laser pointers are banned in certain areas as they can cause eye damage. People also use them to distract drivers and even some high powered ones can reach pilots and affect their ability to operate a plane. It's not just the sniper thing.

Even a standard laser pointer can 'distract' pilots. People have been arrested for aiming them at police helicopters and subsequently being traced back to their initial location.
because a sniper even uses a laser.......whole point of sniping is to shoot from far away before the target can react. 1) a laser wouldn't work for long range because of bullet drop. 2) a laser would let the target know they are being targeted, which counters the point of a sniper to begin with.
The entire purpose of a laser sight is for close quarters so you can "hip fire" to fire faster more accurately. Don't have to spend that time raising the gun up to your eyes which can be the difference between you firing first or 2nd and dying. As to the IR laser, yes its real, and the entire purpose of it is so the enemy can't see it and just shoot you before you can see them. A sniper would have 0 use for it

The point of 'sniping' is clandestine. So the target is unsuspecting and you have the ability to get away safely because they won't know exactly where the shot came from or more precisely.. who exactly fired it.
