| − | An admin once told me that bugs concerning items or character's models shouldn't be listed on the Trivia section, so I was wondering if we should remove the last line of the Sniper's Trivia, which says "The Sniper's world model is only seen with a fingerless glove on his left hand, and a watch on his left arm, where all of his view models have a glove on both hands, and no watch. (Viewmodel_fov must be set higher to see the watch, or lack thereof.)" [[User:Allukard|Allukard]] 07:25, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

I know, this may sound stupid, but how about the charge would start from full when you first zoom in, then quick go down to 1% as you keep zoomed in. Maybe also you could decrease the scoping time for more effective quick-scoping? I just like CoD too, so that's why I want something in TF2 where you could quick scope. Maybe this could be something like a rush class for the sniper. [[User:Erak606|Erak606]] 18:27, 13 March 2012 (PDT)

| − | :Strangely, some articles (e.g. Scout, Soldier) use the TF2 website's description (I think - I did update the Soldier's bio but maybe it was in fact from the trading card, I didn't check), while the Pyro's and maybe others (too lazy to check) use or even cite the trading card as the source. You could either add a reference to the Sniper page or combine the current bio with the official one from the website, like [[Demoman]] did. ⇒[[File:Leaderboard class spy.png|16px|link=]] [[User:Anyar|<span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: TF2 Build">Anyar</span>]] ([[User_talk:Anyar|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Anyar|contributions]]/[[User:Anyar/No|giveaway]]) 14:58, 3 November 2017 (PDT)

| − | == Sniper's Garand Thumb ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Fun fact;
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you open the hwm sniper model (from tf_movies) in SFM, and look at his right thumb, you can see that it has a different colour on the nails than all of the other nails on the other fingers!
| |
| − | This is a reference to the "Garand Thumb", an accident that involves getting your thumb pressed when reloading a M1 Garand.

| − | == Hit Reg ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Sniper has a confusing hitreg.If you scope really fast into someones head and shoot instantly it doesn't count as a headshot.Also if you flick really hard sometimes it hits the head without it being even close to the player. <small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:ThinkingSeal|ThinkingSeal]]''' ([[User talk:ThinkingSeal|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/ThinkingSeal|contribs]])</small>

The second one, I'm not entirely sure what you mean (but is also not related to Sniper himself).<br>[[User:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">GrampaSwood</font>]] ([[User talk:GrampaSwood|<font color="DB9C1F">talk</font>]]) 21:01, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

| − | == Addition to Trivia - Sniper's Thumb ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | This has been talked about before over the years, but never has been added to trivia. On Sniper's right hand, his thumbnail is blackened and bruised. This is due to occasions when the bolt of a rifle, in this case the Sniper Rifle, slams onto a thumb when reloading too fast, causing major bruising. Apologies if there's a valid reason as to why this hasn't been added, but this is such an incredible detail thay I think is worth noting.
