YES! im so glad i read through all this ... nonsense before i posted my 2 cents. RO had it good. a rifleman without any form of optics/scope should not be too terribly accurate. when you pull the gun up in PR, you can see soo much detail, so clearly, that its easy to pick a guy off at great distances with one or two shots. Now, im 19 and never been in the military, but from the little shooting I have done, Id say not everyone (myself included) can pull off those types of shots...causticbeat wrote:ANd honestly, i say pull a red orchestra and kill the zoom, it adds alot to the gameplay, and it makes some items that are useless atm amazing (see: BINOCULARS)
I went with a friend to his National Guard monthly weekend, and we trained on the simulator where they project a battle onto a wall. i got a kill out to about 300 meters, i think, its been a few months and i didnt exactly write down the distance in my journal... but, that took me 5-10 shots before i was certain he was down... (please dont think im saying im an authority on this sort of thing... we also spent the weekend watching jarhead and playing paintball...)
I may have just made myself look stupid, so, dont judge me/this post on that distance, whether too far or too short... but, really, bring the sights up and they just cover some vision and give you two prongs and one prong to line up...simple as that....right?
peace in the middle east,
