Full Metal Jacket is a versatile early-game tower, chipping away higher-tier Bloons and reliably dealing with the Leads of Rounds 28 and 30 on nearly all maps. However, more lead-popping defense is needed for Rounds 37 and 38 on shorter maps, such as upgrading with bottom crosspath, or buying another Full Metal Jacket. The 1-1-0 Sniper Monkey is a very cheap option to pop early [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] Leads, in particular those in [[Alternate Bloons Rounds]]. 1-2-0 Sniper Monkey's shrapnel helps to break apart groups of Bloons, especially multiple Lead Bloons, but is unreliable for precise damage and falls off when not shooting Bloons heads-on. Targeting on Strong is preferred for consistent damage to high-tier Bloons.

For crosspathing purposes, Full Metal Jacket benefits all bottom-path Sniper Monkeys by improving their single-target and layer-skipping, though preferred to further upgrade to {{BTD6|Large Calibre}} for maximum damage, compared to grouped damage via Shrapnel Shot. Middle-path Snipers benefit from the extra damage and lead-popping for all shots, however it prevents [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s [[Sharpening Stone]] when compared to the benefits granted by bottom crosspath.

For crosspathing purposes, Full Metal Jacket is recommended for all bottom-path Sniper Monkeys against [[Boss Bloon]]s (except [[Phayze]]) and when they cannot be placed so that Bloons mostly travel facing them (in which case shrapnel functions worse). If crosspathing with Full Metal Jacket, it is strongly recommended to crosspath further by purchasing {{B|Large Calibre|BTD6}}. While middle-path Snipers benefit from the extra damage and lead-popping for all shots, Full Metal Jacket is still the sub-par crosspath for them. This is due to Full Metal Jacket preventing them from receiving [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s [[Sharpening Stone]] and the bottom crosspath's extra attack speed (while retaining 1 damage shrapnels) providing much stronger synergies with all buffs.
