I'm not sure I would compare shooting at a passenger plane that has wings filled with 20,000 gallons of fuel and a 1/8th inch sheet metal skin to firing at an armored attack or transport chopper that was designed to repel small arms fire, and yes a sniper rifle is included in the definition of "small arms", even 50 cal ones.
