Your sniper rifle is not a sword

That is the most important rule.

Dont be seen
Be accurate
Learn about your rifle its a living thing it requires the right food

Re: Sniping Hints & Tips

The sniper has special abilities, training and equipment. His job is to deliver discriminatory highly accurate rifle fire against enemy targets, which cannot be engaged successfully by the rifleman because of range, size, location, fleeting nature, or visibility. Sniping requires the development of basic infantry skills to a high degree of perfection. A sniper's training incorporates a wide variety of subjects designed to increase his value as a force multiplier and to ensure his survival on the battlefield. The art of sniping requires learning and repetitiously practicing these skills until mastered. A sniper must be highly trained in long-range rifle marksmanship and field craft skills to ensure maximum effective engagements with minimum risk.

Re: Sniping Hints & Tips

When setting up in heavily bushed areas, to get covered up you often have to go a decent way into a bush or any kind of cover cover etc... Often you will find small plants/ tall grass/ the rest of the bush in front of you which get in your way. Make sure, BEFORE you get into cover, you clear the window of your potential target range.

So basically any small plants or objects that could get in your line of fire, stamp them down. It's no use getting into cover that you can't make a shot from.

I hope that made sense (sorry if it didn't)...

Ok, my loadout is a Delta Sniper, so being in full desert with a black vest how do i adapt these rules to what i do? Or am i closer to being classed as a rifleman?

Re: Sniping Hints & Tips

Sniping is desert is more of a case of getting behind buildings and rock at a far distance and use clever dinks and dents in your cover to poke your rifle out of

Where do you play felix

Re: Sniping Hints & Tips

sniping,

don't take shots just because you can,
make sure that you know the area that you are in engaging in
when you do engage take shots from rear to the front as this will give the elusion that your behind them.
walk, never run, slow is smooth
know your rifle wether it be a aeg or what ever, (i know my ptw over hops so adjust for it)
look for natural choke points
be able to read what people will be doing 3/4 steps ahead

when coming to the shot dont get distracted. smooth trigger pulls as rapid ones will jerk the tool thus giving you stray shots

when i think of more ill edit.
