375 seconds, or 3/8 of a second.ĭragunov: This is the gun you should turn to if you would rather not use stopping power.
It is not very often, but it does happen.įire Rate: This has the best fire rate. Without stopping power, or with it against a juggernaut user, you will kill in a hit to the head, and neck.Īccuracy: It is semi-auto, so occasionally you will miss dead-on shots. With stopping power, you will kill in a hit to the head, neck, and chest. This is most people’s choice for hardcore because its major downside is the power. If you miss with this, you are not totally screwed. It has poor power, but you can get a second shot off quickly if you miss the first.
The M21 really thrives in being beginner friendly, especially compared to the bolt-action rifles. It usually does, but you will occasionally miss a dead on shot because of this. M21: Being semi-automatic, the bullet may not always go where you tell it. You can get an accurate second shot off about every 1.25 seconds, which is painfully slow. Look at other factors.Īccuracy: Since it’s bolt action, the bullet always goes where you want it to.įire Rate: This gun has the lowest fire rate of them all. HARDCORE: Will kill in a hit no matter what. If you do not have stopping power, or you do and the enemy has juggernaut, it will kill in a hit to the head, neck, and chest. NORMAL: If you have stopping power on, it will kill in a hit to the head, neck, chest, and stomach. This gun really thrives on the idea of one shot, one kill and does it better than the others. It fires very slowly, but if you are accurate, that is all you need. Use it if you like the M40, but feel it just is not strong enough. You can get another good shot off about every second more at really long distances, and less at close range. Recoil and whether or not it is bolt action both affect these results. It is the most accurate sniper.įire Rate: This is determined by how fast you can get a second accurate shot off. In addition, since its bolt action, the bullet will go where your crosshairs are pointed. The M40 pulls up and steadies faster than any other sniper. Look at other factors for determining your hardcore gun.Īccuracy: Accuracy is determined by how fast the crosshairs steady and how likely the bullet is to land where you point the crosshairs. HARDCORE: It will kill in a hit no matter what. If you do not have stopping power, or if you do and are shooting a juggernaut user, it will kill to the head and neck. My preference for hardcore because of its accuracy. Pick this gun if you want to be able to quickly and accurately take out targets across the map. The most accurate, with acceptable power, no recoil, but a low fire rate. M40: This is a great rifle for normal and hardcore. You will need the accuracy if you are camping, but at close range, you need to be able to make a second shot. I prefer bolt actions for regular sniping, and semi-autos for ACOG/mobile sniping. If you miss occasionally and would like to have the ability to make a second shot, go with the semi-auto snipers.
If you are generally pretty accurate and are attempting many difficult shots, you will want the accuracy of the bolt actions. With the bolt actions, you gain accuracy, but lose the ability to fire off a second shot as quickly. They both have their share of powerful and weak weapons. First, you should choose a gun, then perks that are compatible with the gun, and then pick out the pistol that fills in the weak spots.īOLT ACTION VS SEMI-AUTO: This is the first choice you have to make.

Once you get good, you can take out running targets and then keep the scope up after you fire, which makes you nearly impossible to track, even with the killcam. Because they are away from the action, they tend to live longer, making them more likely than others to get helicopters and air strikes. Snipers usually do not rack up many kills with their gun only. Sniping is nice because you can sit back, way away from the action, and quickly take out enemies. Guide by Feonian - This is my guide to sniping. Modern Warfare CoD4 Ultimate Sniping Guide
