That picture where they are gaurding a door is in fact, the covie sniper. Well at least as close to one as they have. The weapon there is the only scoped rifle they have, but isnt a true "sniper" rifle. Its more comparable to the battle rifle. If you look closely you can see the scope also. The main reason covenents dont use sniper rifles is that they use a form of combat called the "blitzkrieg", which is what the germans imployed in world war 2. Its a type of advanced guerilla and charge fighting. Its just not the kind of thing a covenent would do, sniping that is.
Check out my thread for my theory on that gun, and supporting evidence.
