I have recently restarted my campaign (again) because of epic failures, and as you all know at the start of the campaign, almost all missions are timed/suitable for stealth missions rendering the usage of sharpshooters almost impossible. In the beginning, sharpshooters have bad aim, we have no weapon upgrades like scopes or stock to give them, the rifle slows down the sharpshooter's running range immensely, you cannot move and then fire(except if you give him a pistol) and you don't have a spider suit.
I had the idea of just equipping them with smg and then just send them out on stealth missions as a third wheel just to have them gain experience (since I only need specialist/shinobi on these and yet mission experience gets divided by 3 anyway since it is programmed as the minimum ratio) But unfortunatly, I noticed that I did not have the option of equiping smg
