I would whine that the Dragunov is more of a designated marksman rifle, but this sort of misconception is common, and I've certainly had them in the past. They also show up in a lot of media. Heck, RT has made them too.

Not to mention that none of the engagements  in RWBY have been at ranges exceeding the practical ranges of the weapons labeled as sniper weapons by us and RT.
