That being said, he might not have to worry. At Waterloo, more than half a millenium after the first gun was invented, the typical smoothbore gun the British and French used had a 3% chance of actually hitting a dude at 100 yards, though this improved to around 20% at 50 yards. This incidentally, is why marching up to dudes and then firing away was the cornerstone of infantry tactics up to the US Civil War and for some time beyond.
However, if the sniper is using a rifled barrel (v.expensive until industrial mechanization took off) then he doesn't have a chance unless he's Neo.
