Any trick to using a sniper rifle?

[kragz 156]

Not played ARMA 2 before really, at least not a sniper rifle. Any tips for using it? I was trying to snipe a moving survivor earlier and the bullets were landing nowhere near him. It was the CZ sniper thingy.

Proper "zeroing" might help - lots of youtube videos out there explaining it.

The CZ sniper thingy...is a hunting rifle....

Do some tutorial assignments in ARMA and you get a grip pretty fast...

Or look at some tutorials at the tube....

You just have to find a gun with zeroing and a Rangefinder and it's done. haha :D

practice in the mission editor. alot. seriously.... if you practice for a good 30 mins or so, and activly think about how to get better, you should be able to peg someone 800 m out with a DMR with them running. and actualy do the math of how fast people move, bullet speed, and all that. for example, a dmr round moves at about 850 meeters per second. a person sprinting in game moves about 25.7 kelomiters per hour. do the math, and you should be able to lead effectivly too.

and forgive my spelling. it sucks....

zeroing if it has it and for cz or other bolt actions wait for them to look at loot or something and headshot them chances are if you body shot them they will run or dc so aim for head with bolts
