You fire the most obvious looking projectile in the game (big orange streak) with an incredibly distinct sound. A sniper will never be able to stay hidden in this game because the second you fire your gun you are exposing your location. And grass isn't an issue. Of the handful of people who have more than Low flora levels, the distance the flora shows up at is pretty short. Sniper range stuff would show a ground devoid of vegetative cover.

So prone would have nothing to do with cover. Any competent sniper already uses the tips of hills and other elevations to mask themselves as much as possible as it is, so I don't think there'd be much at all to benefit snipers here.
