Full Metal Jacket is ~~helpful upgrade~~ for ~~popping~~ Lead Bloons ~~across long ranges~~, ~~in addition to chipping more layers from~~ Bloons.

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. 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.

~~A 1~~-~~1-0~~ Sniper ~~Monkey is a very cheap option to pop early~~ [[~~Camo~~ Bloon ~~(BTD6)|camo~~]] ~~and~~ [[~~Lead Bloon (BTD6)|lead~~]]~~. If set on "Strong" it will usually pop all the leads on round 28~~ and ~~30 into green bloons, however it will target the [[Zebra Bloon~~ (~~BTD6~~)~~|Zebra Bloons]] on round 37 over the lead bloons~~.

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}}. Full Metal Jacket is sub-par for middle-path Snipers, as it prevents them from receiving [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s [[Sharpening Stone]] and they prefer the greater attack speed and stronger synergy with buffs granted by the bottom crosspath.

1-2-0 Sniper Monkey's shrapnel helps break apart groups of bloons, particularly versus multiple Lead Bloons, but less reliable for precise damage. [[Bouncing Bullet (BTD6)|Bouncing Bullet]] takes advantage of the extra damage of the shrapnel and bullet bounces from Full Metal Jacket.

~~Bottom path benefits a lot from top path in terms of single moab damage~~, ~~especially round 100 [[BAD (BTD6)|BAD]] and Bosses. An [[Elite Defender (BTD6)|Elite Defender]] crosspathed with top path is able to defeat the first tier of most bosses, however~~ it is ~~usually needed~~ to ~~upgrade the~~ crosspath ~~to a [[~~Large Calibre (BTD6~~)|Large Calibre]]~~.

~~Since the [[damage type]] changes to normal~~, ~~choosing this crosspath means that Snipers cannot receive~~ [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s [[Sharpening Stone]].
