Combat doesn't always take place where you are far away from eachother, and besides if you run out of ammo what choice do you have. You're going to want an knife. And if you're infiltrating a base, you wouldn't want to do it with guns blazing. Stealth is good for a sniper's health. If snipers went around wearing bright colors and used air horns before every shot and had loud music blaring from their sniping spot they'd be dead pretty quick. Go ahead and tell me a form of stealth has not been added to nearly every aspect of the fighting soldier.
