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 ~~is recommended for~~ all bottom-path Sniper Monkeys and ~~when they cannot be placed so that Bloons mostly travel facing them (in which case shrapnel functions worse). It is strongly recommended~~ to ~~crosspath~~ further ~~by purchasing~~ {{BTD6|Large Calibre}}, ~~especially against [[Boss Bloon]]s (except [[Phayze]], which demands middle crosspath),~~ to ~~maximize DPS~~. ~~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; Full Metal Jacket~~ prevents [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s [[Sharpening Stone]]~~, and~~ the bottom crosspath~~'s extra attack speed (while retaining 1 damage shrapnels) provide much stronger synergies with all buffs~~.

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.
