I wonder how the Watchowski brothers feel about this, knowing that they made a movie that can influence the way people think and feel about the world around us. To be able to convince some people that the world you created on film is real must be the ultimate compliment for the artists.
I have no reason to doubt that the sniper did believe he was in the Matrix. If your mentally unstable enough to kill, your probably unstable enough to believe that a movie is real.

However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V
