In this guide I hope everyone will share the own tips to properly shooting ALL rifles.

I thought I'd share my tips for players who have trouble to shooting standard rifles efficiently.

Close to Medium Range Shooting

-When your within 100m of your enemy you want to put them down fast and efficiently, the easiest way to do this in my opinion is to follow the "5 Step Rule" This rule is Crouch, Sight in, Switch to Semi Automatic, 1 second wait, Fire. When using this method Fire 1-2 shot every second. Some think this will not be accurate but here is how it works. Once Sighted in with that extra second boost, firing the first shot will either hit or suppress your target, then a second between each shot makes the deviation lower after each shot making you more accurate whilst suppressing your target. Keep clicking every second until the target is down.

Long Range Shooting 150m
-Assuming you have a scope on your rifle it's as simple as crouch or prone(preferably crouch at 101m-125m following the 5 Step Rule) HOWEVER if your target does not see you and you have permission from your SL go prone if possible and Scope in and Wait 3 seconds and fire one round every second.

Basic Tips
-Always Crouch before firing.
-Keep you rifle on 3 Round Burst or Full Auto at all times because you never know whats going to jump in front of you.
-In CQB (buildings for instance) Sight in and crouch on full auto or 3 round burst throughout the building. Crouching and sighting in makes you glide.
-Long Range Shooting is more about suppression IMO.
-Aim around corners

This is all for now, please give me feedback on these tips and tell me if you disagree. If you want me to elaborate on any of these tips all you have to do is ask.

Please post your own as well.

P.S this is mainly for new players.

A few things I would add as general infantry tactics.

- Cover is essential, If you can get to cover, it'll improve your survival chances a great deal. Never get into a fight in the middle of street, if you do, supress and run like buggery to the nearest cover. You don't have to supress but it makes it much harder to hit a moving target.

- Don't enter a fight where you don't have the advantage unless it's essential. If you turn a corner and come across an enemy across the street who's got you spotted, you won't win. Supress and run/throw grenades/smoke them to disorientate them but don't try and duke it out. Reposition, move to a place where you do have the advantage or wait in ambush.

- Supression is a useful tool. It can get you out of tight situations. Use it while you or your squad are moving, use it to keep the enemy on their toes. When you're on the defensive it can kill the momentum of the enemies attack. When you're on the offensive it keeps them in hiding while you ready grenades.

What about for shooting over 150 meters?

Aim for the head.

Shooting over 150m? Go prone/crouch, wait for 4 sec and shoot one shot every 1-2 sec.
A
bout aiming for head? Well, it does give 1 shot 1 kill, but its smaller target and so harder to hit. I prefer hitting torso whenever I can. But everyone have their own way to go.
