Imagine holding binoculars with one hand while holding and drawing the bowstring back. Yeah, you need 3 arms, or maybe use your leg. I understand in your mobile device won't allow accuracy with a tap, but sniping seems impossible with the binoculars on.

Of course, there are headmounted binoculars, but I am unsure if that time period(medieval) could possibly make that. That will render the binoculars useless, since it's the same as zooming out. I'm not even sure if binoculars were invented at the time, but spyglasses were availible.

Maybe if the telescopical item zooms in so you can see what a player is holding at <400 studs away? A gui will display the players name and their tools if the cursor is over them, with the gear on.

I most certainly like the idea of the binoculars. It wouldn't make the game espicially unbalanced, but there is a slight advantage if the player decided to use this. This will probably make ranged weapons more useful.

I know you made this post only for the sniping aspect, but sniping with the gear on is still debatable. Maybe after spotting the player, and unequiping the tool, you can snipe a player quite accurately, with the extended range ofc.

Sorry about the ramble.s

EDIT: When I say tool/gear, I mean the binocular armour.
