Denizen Federation troops who unlike the rest of the unit
(who are carrying fairly obvious Bull-pup Assault rifles) appear to be
carrying some sort of  long barrelled weapon, in addition their
backpacks
appear to mount 4 vertical launch missiles. The code is SF39 and is
described as "Federation Sniper".

See http://www.canterburyminiatures.inet.net.nz/25mm/sf39_main.html for
a
side view.

Seems to make them closer to the platoons artillery, self designating
indirect missiles anyone?

  What are those snipers doing? Three separate doctrines occur to me:
  a. they're scouts. In that case they should be the equivalent of a
  heavy weapon as part of a recon squad. their job is to make contact
  with the enemy, so they're mobile. I would call this a marksman
  rather than a sniper--see the houserule suggestion at
  www.stargrunt.ca
  b. they're primarily observers, who operate from a fixed position
  (or group of hide positions). They call in artillery or airstrikes,
  but have a rifle in case they need to deal with a high-priority
  target right away. They should operate as solos or pairs (one
  sniper, one spotter) and are probably a battalion or higher asset.
  c. special forces, probably operating outside artillery support, in
  which case the team sniper is probably the team's "artillery".
