I'd rather take two or more shots to get someone than waste time lining up the head. I actually like hitting moving targets, and to pick the leg as they barely make the corner on the second shot is satisfying.

JD, you'd think using the .50 would mean 1 shot kills for everyone sniping? You happen to know when the velocity drops on a .50? Just curious.

not true. wikipedia has the muzzle velocity at ~800m/s so it would take ~.9sec to go 700m. with gravity pulling at 9.8m/s2 that bullet would drop a fair amount. just imagine dropping a marble from a 2 story building. bet it would hit the ground in less then a sec.

Single-shot mode. :sweetjesus:

i personally prefer the an-94

Well saying it wouldn't require "any" was a bit of an overstatement but it would not require much. A couple inches maybe depending on conditions. Not at all like in the game where you have to aim many feet over a guys head at only 3-400m. That being said it still puts MW3 to shame where weapons shoot bullets at the speed of light.

CorneringArtist - I can tell you in reality that if you get hit by a 50cal anywhere in your centre of mass you are dead, it'll cut you in half. Most 50's have a muzzle velocity of about 850m/s but the weight of the bullet means it's carrying a lot more energy so your compensation is different versus a smaller caliber rifle, as is the rounds effect on target.

If you want to see the difference in getting hit by what's probably a .308 vs a .50 look below. Mods if it's not cool just delete the photos.

That's...graphic :heckno:, but it's a great point of reference.

SFW version

pretty much sums it up if you dont wanna look

just a regula game nothin special 52 / 30. k/d

Battle Report - Battlelog / Battlefield 3

the game has gotten much less fun with the amount of people running around with usas-12s

^dont forget those stupid frag shells, they should of nerfed that

i was sniping a guy from a distance and got killed by his usas :suspicious:
what's with the damage those shells cause after? i got fed up and started using the usas too and after i killed a guy up close it said i died and committed suicide wtf lol

Frag does 30 splash damage.
usas frag basically is a mini frag cannon.


19-13 with a score of 7900 PTFO

Edit**
went a good streak with ahneek and armyofone
11 game winning streak :fuckyea:

I've unlocked the straight pull for m98 and l96 and I like the reload on the m98 better. But am I going about it all wrong? I thought straight was the way to go but bipod seems effective. What accessories are you guys using for your bolt action rifles?
Posted via RS Mobile

bipod, laser, and 12X scope

I'm curious, isn't the whole point of the laser to basically increase aim at the hip? What's the advantage on sniper rifles?

Yeah. That was a good run. Too bad I had to peace out. Definitely wat more fun than playing with randoms.

But you're too good. Even if I'm #2, you still double my score every round.

If you're trying to kill a sniper in he has sights on you the red laser can temporarily mess him up long enough for you to kill him. Personally I don't like it too much because I think it gives away my position as a sniper just like a tactical light. Thanks for the suggestion I've been using 8 and 12 with the bipod to unlock the straightbolt and I was doing quite well with it. I'll continue to stick with it for now thanks

Let me guess ur a big ass camper :suspicious:

12x scope?! LOL

if you call running up to the person and knifing all the time sure,

yeah, problem?

So...I got the stationary emplacement medal.


...two hours in at a stationary emplacement. Yay? :badpokerface:

Two hours of your life you won't get back

Oh, many more than that.

Frag shells do full damage to the shooter at point blank.

people need to wake the fuck up and start using the silencer on the rifles. they don't decrease damage only range. and you are at min damage at ~70 yards. any hs at any range with the main 3 bolt rifles = a kill and none of them are 1 hit at any range anywhere else on the body. so if you miss the head you have to hit them again and the least amount of damage you can do is 50 so... hs at any range = kill anything alse at any range = 2 hits for the kill. so in essence the silencer doesn't pose any drawback. but you'll always be hidden from the minimap.

^ To be honest, I can't stand silencers, Call of Duty ruined the hell out of them since EVERYONE would use one. If you're using a PDW on an urban map, sure why not. But when I'm laying AIMED suppression fire on you with an M249, you shouldn't be able to pop me with a random spray due to the silencer's recoil reduction.
