I've used it right and been in several sniper squads that did so although not recently. Oddly, one round we were chastised by people who complain about the kit being used wrong, but for not getting enough kills despite our generous intel reports and lazing for CAS...

That's because no matter what you do with the sniper kit, you're wrong simply because you have the kit. At least that seems to be the popular opinion

EDIT:

I wanted to add a funny story the above reminded me of.

I was playing as a sniper one round, identifying problem areas and contacts for the rest of the team and occasionally taking out priority targets (AA, RPG, and of course the guys that try to save them/pick up the kits).

At one point I had identified and reported a cache location... I could even see it inside the building. I relayed the information to the CO and he told me to shoot it so that it would be destroyed. I informed him I was a sniper and wasn't equipped to comply with that order. The CO then pretty much told me I was being useless because I had the sniper kit.

So, as you can see... no matter what you do as a sniper you're useless. Isn't it obvious??

And before anybody bitches about me playing a sniper on insurgency, I was on a no access roof with a medic spotting, not running around in the street with my pistol out. Normally I keep the sniper in the main base or out of bounds for insurgents, but we had a sniper friendly chopper pilot ready to drop us on the roof/provide extractions so we made an exception.
