Iron Sight sniper mentality

[Grump/Gump.45]

Any weapon can be used as a sniper or marksmen platform using its iron sights. The concept is simple, put iron sight on enemy and semi-auto snipe them. Any suspect dot peeking that looks like a head or more.

This is very useful especially for insurgents who go up against scopes and thermals.

But useful for any faction using iron sights only. Usually you get binoculars, these are now your scope.

With a bit of mental programming your perception, you can view the iron sight brackets of the sight ring as a small scope trying to hit a very small dot. That is what it looks and feels like. Even if you are missing or feel like you are missing, you are putting pressure on the enemy.

Sometimes it may look like you are missing but you wounded the enemy making him need a patch.

If you see a full squad crossing the open, instead of focusing all your shots on trying to take down one guy after you hit him the first time, put 1 bullet in each man before they can react and take cover.

This makes more of them bleed, less effective in targeting you further in response, makes them waste a patch then puts pressure on the medic who is out of the fight healing people. The frustration of being shot at.

Then you can dump the rest of your mag at them to suppress them, a taunt of suppression. Making yourself miss also increases their confidence to peek again even if they just took accurate fire, this will allow you to hit them again when they do peek.

Play peek a boo, hit and run, shoot without being seen then disappear to repeat it. Draw their fire and attenion to an area then leave it moving around to another to fire quickly.

Take cover before getting shot at, fire a few rounds then duck because the automatic rifleman could be watching and waiting, you have less than 1 second to fire and there is no point in peeking the same spot AR is watching unless its to hold his attention for another player to take him out from a position not being watched.

When they come, fall back, escape, listen for footsteps, take some down, run, repeat.
