Another one of these damn posts? I have no trouble getting one hit kills using the intervention, with or without SP. I've said it before, I'll say it again try taking the time to aim. I know all of you want to be quick/no scope beasts, you're not. You need to understand sniping is primarily about two things, stealth, and precision. Most snipers have a partner who provides not only armed back up, but technical details ie. distance to target, wind direction and speed etc. You people complain about a lack of realism, nothing is more unrealistic than a sniper running through an open area hip firing and expecting kills.
