Maybe, maybe not. I have friends that have held down multiple companies, fighting from spieder holes in elevated terrain. Why do you think the "high ground" is often selected as key terrain? Remember, along a parade route, on the street, you don't even have cars to hide behind to return fire and if you stand gun elevated to return fire from the opposite side of the street and two stories below with your hand gun, you are in sharp contrast to those ducking and running for cover. Decided tactical advantage to a rooftop sniper.True, but even shots fired near the shooter could give him pause, reducing the casualties.
