another soldier had been shot by a [b]sniper, fear sets in
eventhough the shooter might not have been an actual sniper. Take
the situation in Iraq during the fight in Fallujah, Marines were CF
in a position the momment they heard another Marines was shot by a
"sniper". On the other hand, when they saw a fellow Marine shot by
an AK, they were quick to react against the shooter. So, you should
understand the problem better now.

The difference between the two situations is that they saw the
shooter in the second case. It doesn't matter if the shooter is a
sniper, a sharpshooter or a punk with a pistol - if you can't see
the bugger, you hit the deck and don't charge until you figure out
where he is.
