U.S. SNIPER STANDARD EQUIPMENT

1. 3 Smoke Grenades

The U.S. Sniper gets smoke grenades, which admittedly isn't as
useful as some of the equipment/traps that the N.Vietnamese Snipers get. However, the smoke grenades aren't without it's uses.

You can go Full Metal Jacket style and use the grenades to cover yourself as you're trying to get to a good spot and you're under fire. I like to use them as pick-up signals for my roommate who plays with me. (He's not the swiftest pilot as it is, and unless there's something to get his attention he wouldn't bother trying to land).

Using the smoke grenades as pick-up signals can be useful. In my opinion the easiest way for a Sniper to get in a good spot behind or near enemy lines (or spawn...haha) is to get airlifted over there and parachute out.
