The typical sniper team (and I'm under the assumption that was what we were talking about) is armed with a bolt action rifle, M203, an average of 4 grenades and a couple of handguns.
Even if they were armed with twice the firepower, the fact still remains that it's two guys, and that was my point. That's why cover, concealment and distance is their ally. Snipers do everything in their power to keep the distances beyond the capabilities of the average solider.
Gene,
I sorta figured you were speaking in relative terms. You're right in that most sniper engagements are at ranges between 400-600 yards.
