A Snipers job is to be sneaky. If he fires at everything people are going to detect him. He's also going to run out of AMMO eventually. So what he wants to do Is wait for that precise exact KILL shot(AA,KK). If's theres too much wind or a Patrol unit, or another sniper he might not even take the shot Unless he sees the general and has a kill shot. (the nuts at whatever stage you are at the board)
Why? Because the extra variables make it too risky. These folowing hands might explain it.
Theres always going to be a time where he has no choice but take A shot. It may not be a value target but a target of opportunity. As long as he has Ammo He can take that Shot. Even if it's only one bullet he has Ammo. The silver bullet.
Wasting ammo is the worst thing you can do. In phase 2 I'll explain wasting ammo more.

Now if you Spend all your AMMO taking risky Shots especially with other varibles involved
You let the other Snipers (andyssential) detect you and shoot you. Your basically Blowing yourself up for no reason,and wasting AMMO.

Now when A target of opportunity presents itself again, You still have AMMO left.
(the silver bullet). If you take the best shot you could you didn't make a mistake you just got unlucky. But you didn't waste your AMMO and you were a GOOD soldier.
This is honestly just Phase 1 of operation Zen. Theres a big battle raging.
