While a sniper concentrates on the target area through his scope, waiting hours on end at times for a potential target. The spotter often is focused on the teams more immeadiate surrounds - preventing them being found by any patrols, or other encounters that may impact on the team that the sniper simply cannot be aware of due to his "tunnel vision".

But i like the idea of a -1 adjustment after the first shot. I think theres allot here that could be pulled out of this re benefits.

The spotter's optics are better for surveillance, and most two man teams would trade of responsibility for glassing a kill zone and local security. You can't actually stay effective on glass for long periods of time, there's a fatigue and burn out factor that kicks in pretty quickly. In any case it should be noted that the spotter tends to be the senior member of the team, at least in US usage.
