Hitting them can be tough at first because they are closed when you first spot them. It will be difficult but make every effort you can to hit them. Snipers will obviously excel at disc hunting as they can provide extremely accurate fire even when the disc is closed. On their turn when they are on the attack they will need to open up in order to fire. This will make them more vulnerable to your weapons. They will be far easier to hit in their open form but make sure you hit them with something powerful as they will close up again when hit.
