#3 If fishes are acting refractory,
Say, sniping at one from a factory,
Bombs might serve your purpose;
Though deaders won't surface,
It's otherwise quite satisfactory.

#5 Exactly how you pound snipers from a warplane?

Artillery is the best way to fight snipers, assuming the building is dispensable. Nobody has to get within sniper range, and the bombs (by definition) can miss by yards and still put the sniper out of commission, whether by injuring or killing him.

#7 Mortars are the best sniper program.

No finesse, though.

Airplanes are just artillery with fins.
