My mom and I talked about Jim's snipers in 1x03 today.  
What makes me sad about the show is that there are questions (although admittedly not very big ones) that are never answered. She thinks the shaky snipers were actually kids - sort of as a "fuck you" to Sherlock. I didn't really get what she meant รด_O. Personally I always thought the snipers were played by crew on too much coffee, so I never felt the need for an in-story explanation.
My god, think of those snipers! It was probably their last job ever. Because "No one ever gets to me and no one ever will." makes me pretty convinced that the only one who gets to work with Jim directly is Sebastian Moran. So after the Pool Incident all the other snipers had to be disposed of, I imagine.

Well, I'm pretty sure the laser-pointer pointers had to go either way, so I think my theory is the less unpleasant one out of the two.
I'm still trying to figure out the sense behind my mom's kid theory. You don't have any ideas, do you?

Hahaha, I just thought that maybe these snipers haven't worked for Moriarty before (you know, it would suck having to kill people who have proved to be good employees) and the job advertisement was for a one-off job. Yeah, my sense of humor is weird.
