The M24 is a highly accurate bolt-action rifle, capable of engaging targets at ranges over 800m. It is effective in almost all types of open environments.

today i first used M24 SWS in EJOD Desert and i couldn't hit a shit with that rifle, wtf?

i fired about ~30bullets at targets around ~1000m and missed ALL! like M14 shots perfectly and shooting with M24 is totaly lame. i thought maybe that is cuz a bullet drop, wind or something.

so i wanted to no how to aim with what stupid m24? some screenshots would be just great or maybe there is some guide movies on youtube..

Bullet drop indeed. You have to aim above the target, mate.

Yea like KP says...you gotta aim above the target depending on the distance it is from you.

Any pictures/diagrams wont help. Just takes time and practice. Althought in saying that im probably not the best person in the world to be giving advice on the sniper rifle - I think ive used it twice on PR. But personally speaking after using the DMR for a while, you'll get a feel for how much to raise your sights by depending on the distance to your enemy.

It aint a railgun. All weapons have bullet drop, get used to it.

Ejod doesn't have 1000m view distance so your just BSing.

he might of ment 100m

or 10m?

Or maybe he's a haxor. He can see FOREVER.

Practise on Bots. Go to Singleplayer Section of Forums, to get started.

"~" means around and i mentioned "around", that makes around^2 so thats could have been quite inaccurate
ok, that was 400m +-50m


Then i aimed to the head from ~400m and i didnt even hit a leg, so i thought wtf is with that rifle...

i don't think so, cuz bullet drop depends on gravitation constant, that is ~10m/s^2, so it's pretty easy to count a bullet drop, it would make a nice diagram f(distance to target)=drop
v=s/t; a=v/t => a=s/t^2 => a=g, so s=a*t^2 there s-drop; t-time; v-speed; a=g-acceleration. but this model counts only gravitation, but there is still centrifugal force and etc. to sum up. i guess there is a nice diagram of M24 bullet drop but i'm not a sniper in real life, so i dont know how to aim correctly with that M24

Hey, it can be capable of engaging targets at ranges over 800m... That doesn't mean that you are

You can't obtain skills, you are born with or without them.

There is also the cone of fire **** from EA plus hitbox detection working against you. The sniper rifles require you keep your sights still for a good 2-3 seconds to be accurate. If the target is on the move you then have hitbox lag to contend with.

I have no secret technique to using the M24, I avoid moving targets unless they are moving directly towards/away from me and fire for the body not the head (i.e. aim above the body a bit but go for body mass as my objective )

Good luck

Tis is a text book example of someone who was born without them.

i got it after practising with bots

M95 Anti Material Rifle has a scope with a scale on it


thats aligned for headshot

You have to find the range before you start on people, shoot a wall in the area you're covering then adjust for bullet drop until you're firing at head/body height. Thats what i do anyway, or just go for trial and error on people. But that usually results in the target running away, and still alive.

Thats vanilla M95, not PR m95
