If you are referring to the mission where Clay gives you the sniper rifle and you have to protect him while he mans and fixes the Gatling gun, I can offer this advice.
Get the gun and run forward along the top wall until you get into the little nook on your left. Look across the bridge to the left and you will see a guy run up the ramp and starts chucking fire bombs. Snipe that sucker.
Along that top path you are on is a boulder with some ammo and crap. If you can, get there and snipe the guys that are really far away. Then you have to do a series of slight peeks out looking for guys to shoot. Pay attention to your map icon for the red dots to give you an idea of where they are. They do move around, and a second guy will come up at some point and start chucking bombs again.
If you are on insane-- good luck, it will try your patience, but you will eventually get a hang of where the guys are and where they run from and to.
Other options (I beat the game on all difficulties so try these strategies also):
1- At the start, run down to the right and around following the creekbed. Don't listen to Clay berating you to go up top. If he wants help, he can bite it and let you do what you want! Ther ewill be a rise of land at the back of the map that you can squat behind, peek up and snipe at dudes that way. There are a few guys that you cannot hit this way, but you can get at most of them.
2- At the start, run along the wall, don't stop running.. Run across the bridge and duck once you get past the ramp. Hit quickdraw mode to peg the first firebomber. Then you can poke around behind the buildings and try sniping that way.
After that mission is done, then you have to man the Gatling gun, which can be a pain in the butt. Keep your finger on the trigger and aim at the far rocks to the left of the path that disappears way up ahead of you. You can kill alot of guys before they get anywhere close. If you are on Insane, this will take a few efforts.
After that, you have to take out the cannon. When the mission starts, run along the creek and duck at the first big rock that you come to. Use your rifle (not sniper), and peg the dude on your left closest to you. Then look a bit up and to your right and you will see another dude between the two land masses. After that, work your way to the far right, and snip the dude that is on the path. Follow that path (watch out for the guy really far away that is between the outcroppings) and take out hatchet boy, and some other guys. Work your way up and around to the right and slowly peek out and get the guy on the edge of the cannon (not the cannon shooter, but his buddy on the edge to the left).
What I did to get the Cannon was when he is the only guy left, quickly peek out and hide, in order to get the cannon to shoot. After the cannon fires, run up to the little outcropping right below him and duck and hide. You should be about 5 feet from the cannon crapping your pants. Do the same manuever to get the cannon to shoot and miss you. Activate quickdraw and run up and give the guy a new head hole.
Jump on the cannon, swing it around and blindly fire round after round at that wagon area where some guys come storming around (the same wagon you were at when you were sniping the last dude that hangs out with the cannon guy).
Trust me, if you are on Insane mode, it will take several, if not dozens of attempts at the beggining of the level.
Jeez I hope this helps
