That is true. I'm reminded of a story from a few years back, a snipes, Canadian I believe, took a target down at 1200 meters (I think; correct me if I'm wrong on the range) in Afghanistan. it was said to be the longest range for a sniper taking out a target to date.
In T2K, it would be impossible. When I was trying to get a game together, I was planning to add in the v2 "instant kill" rule. So a sniper rifle (in v1 I think they all fire 7.62) would have that 4 in 10 chance, rather than a target a few hundred meters away getting hit and reacting as "AH! What the f@#$ was that?"
