Sniping goes back to the American Revolution, when the Kentucky Rifle was used by sharpshooters behind the American front lines to take out high value targets, such as officers. The Kentucky Rifle had much better performance at range, because it had a rifled barrel vs. the smoothbore barrel of the Brown Bess musket. However, it had no sights, and was slower to load.
