How to use Sniper Rifle in Crucible

I am very new to gaming (modern gaming anyways). In the first 4-6 weeks of playing destiny I couldn't break 500 points in Crucible. I worked at it and eventually could top the charts... since reduced to middle ranking in IB. Recently I thought I would expand my skills by learning to be a Sniper, but I don't get how to do it in Destiny. 1) I find that I settle into a spot and end up getting killed by someone with a euros regime or other high powered non-sniper gun... whats the point of a sniper rifle if the other guns have the same range without losing mobility or sight? Am I doing something wrong here? An example would be sniping by C facing B on Venus map (maat mons I think its called). 2) it seems like there are not many snipe points, so if I try to hunker down, I get maybe two kills until I am hunted down. Tips? Tricks?

    1. Get into a good position. 2. Watch dem flags. 3. Point your crosshairs in the general direction of their head. 4. Shoot. 5. Pray for bullet magnetism to work with you. 6. Revel in your kill(s) and enjoy your win. [spoiler]Serious tips? Don't always ADS. After every kill or chain of kills or every 10 seconds, take a few moments to observe your surroundings and check your motion sensor. That is how you avoid being hunted.[/spoiler]
