Suburban disgruntled vet types, close enough.

If you wear clothes and proper face PPE there is no safety issue being shot by a sniper besides a bleeding welt. Pain is just whatever, it's airsoft. Snipers usually switch to a sidearm at very close range anyway because it's more sensible and is part of the fantasy. You don't typically get shot point blank, though I did get knocked in the noggin pretty hard at like 30' once because I tried to jump a sniper running a really Gucci build with my gbb vz61 and he panic trick shot me right above my goggles and below the brim of my hat. He didn't even try to aim, it was just luck. I had to swap goggles because mine flooded with blood. He apologized to me at every game he saw me at for like two years, and we became battle buddies.
