I'm guessing you're using militia gear too which is basically a glass cannon minus the cannon. Pro tips, stay at least 100m away from anything because of how far ARs and SCRs can spray. It is all the basic starter stuff that I have, need a good flak jacket. Never played any other FPS so sorry to say the CoD and Bat are lost on me. A good list of what I need to get would be nice, I continue playing as a target till I earn the credits to upgrade. As for joining a squad is out until I can be more than a ginny pig to get them in the open and reloading.The Rail Gun and Cannons are fun to give cover fire until I am taken out. I have sniper training in the early 90"s, M40A1 @ 750m and the M82 @1250m so I know the drill.
I'd advise joining dust university, they will teach you a lot.
You could join my corp, we are very laid back and generally between the ages 24-35, I'd give you all the advice you'd need and very patiently with a respect to how you play.
Gear and equipment is almost as important as gun game in dust and my swamp marines prove that by now being able to go head to head with people who mopped the floor with them 4 months ago, they had the skill but not the gear.

As a sniper you really want a suit with 3 high slots (left side) and 4 low slots (right side) and put complex damage mods in the highs and armour plates in the lows, get a charge sniper as well.
I'd suggest amarr logistics or Gallente logistics, see suit info for more.
If you enjoy close support sniping then I'd get a tactical sniper for its increased ROF OR the tactical gallente ar variant, always keep the 3 damage mods when sniping.
For equipment get hives, drop uplinks and whatever else you want, if you are close support sniping get uplinks, scanner and hives.
