Noobs want to be snipers because theyve never played and never been shot. Theyre afraid of what it feels like so they decide to play the role of someone least likely to be shot.
In the movies, the sniper is always hidden from the badguys so hey never gets shot at, they think airsoft is like this so they opt for this role in airsoft.
Alot of them also think it's kool to look through scopes and see those nfty crosshairs like in movies as well, this also adds to it.
