I have a friend who thinks that the act of Quickscoping from the Call Of Duty games is possible in real life, Obviously I don't think it is, in fact, I'm SURE it isn't
For those of you who don't know, "Quickscoping" is when one is using a scoped non-automatic gun (More often than not, a Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle) and, while standing up without any way to steady your aim, you aim down your scope for a split second, fire and then cease using the scope.
Bear In Mind I Have Never Fired A Real Gun Or Even Seen One In Person (Aside From When I Was At A Police Station With A Relative Who Works There And They Showed Me The Confiscated Guns That Were Waiting To Be Destroyed). So This Is Mostly Just Guesswork.
I guess it is POSSIBLE but if you're actually trying to hit something you might as well be shooting in the opposite direction, I would assume that a sniper rifle has pretty piss-poor stability and accuracy without the assistance of laying down or using a bipod. And on top of that you are only getting a glimpse of your target from the scope for a split second, which I would guess doesn't exactly help matters.
In Short, I was wondering if there was any truth at ALL in the concept of it, I would bet my sanity to guess that there isn't any. And don't even get me started on the whole "360 No-Scope" Crap.
Also, I've heard many, MANY veterans bag everything about the unrealistic nature of the series (Understandably, seeing as I can't find anything that seems accurate). But, as many of you have military experience, is there anything that stands out for you that the games got RIGHT?
