Shooting while moving??

Hey, I'm new to PR

I was wondering, because it takes like 5 seconds to stabilize aim after movement, can you shoot while moving? In scenarios such as urban combat CQB, I need to be able to return fire while moving to cover. How is the accurate is the shooting when moving?

When crouching + moving + shooting the deviation isnt too bad in a cqb environment. But if you are running, you cant hit jack.

It is useful when moving only for the purpose of suppression. If you want to kill someone you will have to stop and sight in on them. Unless pretty much point blank.

There's quite a few times i killed enemy by hip firing in bursts with my M16 while walking. In my experience, aiming down in close quarters means that you will lose, at least for me. I'm just used to hip firing wildly in CQB.

this is one thing that makes me mad about PR.

watch 3 gun matches and tell me that professionals can't shoot accurately while moving, or need more than an instant to get back on target accurately after stopping running/jogging.

Watch 3 gun matches and tell me that professionals can keep their gun pointing at the same spot all the time, with no movement of the gun at all like in BF2/PR:BF2...

It's to simulate the movement of your gun, and after running you'll be tired and have to rest before you can properly aim your gun steadily at a target 100+ metres away

If you sprint & then stop your breathing will be up, so your aim will be off. Professionals find it difficult to fire while moving, which is why we're taught to "snap fire", stop fire, move. Doesn't have to be accurate as long as the bullets are going towards the enemy.

For suppressing the enemy in CQB then you barely even have to aim, just point & fire, the bullets don't bend round & go behind you, it's a cone, at the end of your gun the rounds will be exactly where you aim, but the further away the enemy is the further the bullets spread - but they're still heading in that direction, & if you fire a few shots you'll suppress/kill the enemy.
