The more you keep the enemies head is kept down the less fire directed back at you. While attending the bsg course we used supression a lot to cover friendly units as they pushed forward. Its not like in Vietnam where troops just fired off into the jungle, we even have weapons like the m249 saw to put rounds down range in a wall of lead to keep the enemy behind cover.
When it comes to accurate fire you usually take your time to fire anyways. Like the saying we had to repeat in a school. Front sight, front sight, slack, pause, squeeze. Trigger control, natural sway, breath, etc must be taken into account. Of course once rounds start flying past your head most of it goes out the window but the fundimentals still apply.
In PR I use my weapon in two ways for distance combat. Either I fire supressivly emtying my mags with single shots fairlly accurately keeping the enemy pinned or I holdd fire those extra few seconds for accurate shots.
We are not trained to shoot to kill though. We are trained to shoot to stop the target. Center mass is the largest part of the body and of course the easiest to hit. Wounding an enemy is actually more detrimental to opposing forces than outright killing them. You kill an opponent and its just one down. You wound them and you pull more off the line as they bring their wounded comrade back to safety and medical attention.
I don't know what kinda **** like that they are teaching in the United States Navy, "We are not trained to shoot to kill though. We are trained to shoot to stop the target. " But, I do know in my beloved United States Marine Corps, I am trained to
SHOOT TO KILL With accurate fire, generally speaking that one, two, or three shots to the engine block, ya know that thing ya call a brain box, noggin, Brain Housing Group, dome-piece. Yeah, we shoot center of mass as well, and that goes right into the pumper or the lungs, so we can bait more cats in and create more casualties but our over-all objective unless ordered otherwise is to
KILL
So when I run down a hill, prone out bring up my M16A4 with ACOG RCO and put that little red chevron or my 6-800 meter bar at the shoulders where the cross meets the head. I expect to hit right where the 'T' boxes up so I can hit that cat right in his 'T' box.
These weapons are far to inaccurate the utilization of your deviation system is bunk from a user of many years with the M16/M4 platform I can run 75-100 yards full combat load drop to my face pull my weapon to my shoulder get that good cheek weld and eye relief and let loose on a dude between 20-350 yards away and know I will hit where I put my Front sight tip, Reticule, chevron, dot. What have you. I could see the utilization of the deviation system at longer ranges and hell I'll take it as a 'Wind Check' or some trash like that, I will buy that, if you're going to add something like that to the game, then allow us to dial our Iron sights, or use our ACOGS the way they were meant to be used.
I also need to note that the weapons need a little bit more '***' to them, it's retardedly aggravating when taking up an M40A3 (Best frigging sniper rifle on the planet OORAH) my target is an enemy officer 750 yards out, hold fire for 10 seconds for deviation settling (Why this shit is factored in with a weapon with a bipod for any purpose other than wind call is beyond me) settle my cross hairs and mil-hash from my S/B Scout Sniper Day Scope let loose that vicious 7.62x54 FMJ round clean into his giant Arab Schnozz and not kill him... That shit makes me rage like an animal.
