The sniper has been iconic as-of-late to the element of PKing (cc: the M107, DSR-50, G36Snipe, and the L96A1.), they're simply perpetuating this trend. The sniper itself isn't even bad, it's good in good hands.
I bought an M1911 Tactical yesterday. Is it good? No. Am I good with it after I've practiced for a little? I'd go to say I'm the best on the server WITH the M-TAC. The same applies to the sniper, learn how to use it. The GAs themselves aren't too familiar with the PK Element, RecurveZ is the
All-Time Champ #1 in front of EP and Goblin. Of course, you're not going to get a gun to contour to your every whim. Neither do the sparrers'. Our Vector was a Tachi Scorpion until enough randoms whined about it. The GAs learned just to make our guns OP. Trust me, you guys on the PK front have, possibly,
possibly the best weapon(s) in the game. The Panther P2Ks outclass everything. (and, they do a little flip! :smile
TL;DR - Whine about it to RecurveZ and BiTzSam. That's what we did.
