When you are dangling yourself before the guns, is it more like "trolling" for snipers?

Reminds me of Sgt Boitnott in Korea who had his spotter stand up to draw sniper fire, then shot the muzzle flash 
Real men measure once and cut.

Also reminds me of the Civil War general whose troops were cowering in their trenches under Reb fire... he stood up and yelled, "Don't worry, boys, they couldn't hit a barn at this distance!" Wham! a sniper shot him dead.
