User blog comment:Didikins/Is the P-06 overpowered compared to other sniper rifles?/@comment-402843-20151127024036

It's not that great at long distances. I've had bursts miss shots from recoil and then the target runs away. It is not a death laser as you say. I also find it incredibly easy to target P-06 users if they miss (and they usually do), since the sound is so distinct and they're usually scoped in so you can easily get out of their view and kill them. I've never been repeatedly killed by the P-06, nor have I done particularly well with it.

Perhaps the reason you're bad at sniping but good with the P-06 is because it functions differently from other snipers. That doesn't mean it's OP. Just enjoy the ease.
