You have far better abilities to use. Why use Sniper when you need to use FB or ST with it? And those are the only 2 moves that will reliably make use of it.

Crits are double the regular strength and ignore def/spd boost. Sniper makes it triple. Storm throw is physical and 40 BP. So, it is basically a 120 BP move with sniper. And needs to be on a physical mon to make the most of it. And on a fighting-type. Frost Breath is in a similar situation.

Being someone who tested the idea out months ago, Sniper anything is just not worth it. There are far better abilities to include on a pokemon using Frost Breath or Storm Throw. You need to use White Kyurem or Conkeldurr, respectively, to make them worthwhile anyways. There would need to be a 60 BP guaranteed crit to make it worthwhile.
