Sniper w/Pistol OR Sniper w/Rifle

If you were to be a sniper, would you rather be a designated sniper and only have a pistol as yor backup weapon, or would you rather have a sniper rifle, with an a.e.g ?

i would choose pistol snipers are silent and somewat mobile

I guess it really depends on the size of the rifle. If it's compact like an MP5 or a G36C, then it might be alright if you have a sling for it.

but make sure it doesnt get in the way we u lay down and stuff

I would say pistol, because if I need to make a quick break from engagement, I want to be able to carry both rifle and pistol, still be able to shoot one with a confident measure of accuracy and not have to worry about bulky this or that.

WIth a rifle I feel that it would be cumbersome to aim (While holding my sniper rifle at the same time).

if you want something with more power get a mac 11, uzi or watever u wana call iy

yeah a smg would be good.
like a mac 10,
I wold pick pistol though, more faster and silent.

I go for pistol because its quieter and easier to lay down with and move etc. etc.

Nice, I would have to say pistol to. Less weight, more mobility, more confidence. (For some)

i personally like a pistol 2 but i was just sayin it cause you seem like you wanted a more powerfull gun
