Sniping / Night Fight Tactics:
The
following are some good tactics if you are sniping in a night fight. It
is easiest to snipe in a night fight because you can now take advantage
of the dark. Night fights are best to play at dusk or in a good neighborhood.
Camoflage for
a night fight:
You
should wear a dark brown if you are fighting in a lighted area. If you
wear black, you stand out of the background more easily, therefore you
are easier to see in the dark. If you are not in an illuminated area,
it is ok to wear black for camo. It is good to wear dark camoflage clothes
if you are in the woods. These will greatly help you to blend in to the
surroundings you might be in.
Choosing a
weapon:
There
are many things to look at when choosing a sniping weapon:
a) your weapon should
have a range of more than 30 feet.
b) your weapon should have decent power.
c) your weapon should be easy to manuever with.
You want a weapon
that balances power and weight. The big weapons such as the CPS 2000 and
the CPS 2500 have GREAT range and power, but they are MUCH too heavy to
get away with. You have about 1 shot at an enemy and then you're gonna
have to run. QUICKLY. Believe me, you do NOT wanna run around with a heavy
blaster weighing 20 pounds. I've learned this from experience. The
best blasters to use for sniping are the:
CPS 1000
CPS 1200
CPS 1500
Monster (small, 2001)
Those blasters have
excellent power and range. They are also not too heavy and you can get
around pretty easily with them. The XP 110, 150, and 310 make great medium
sniper blasters. Test your blaster to see if it has good range and is
in good working condition. You can't snipe without a blaster!
Prepping your
blaster for a sniping / night fight:
If you want to be a sniper in a night fight, you need to have
the tools to survive on the field. For night fights, it is a good idea
to have a flash light with you. It is an even better idea to strap the
flash light to your blaster! Use strong, good tape, or attach straps to
your blaster to have a flash light attached to your blaster. Use this
to see your surroundings or to temporarily confuse enemies. If you are
sniping, it's a good idea to have a scope attached to your blaster. You
can get these at most army discount stores.
Get a good, strong, durable scope to attach to your blaster. Use really
good tape or cord or rope to attach it. Using a scope can GREATLY increase
your accuracy of hitting a target. I DO NOT RECOMMEND LASER POINTERS ON
YOUR BLASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shining a laser pointer at somebody's face and eyes can PERMANENTLY damage
a persons eyes or make them go blind. You want to soak people, not injure
them!!!!
Practicing
for a sniper's job:
To
be sniper, you need PATIENCE AND ACCURACY. Shooting blindly at a target
will most likely get yourself under attack be opposing members. You need
to practice aiming and firing. Set up targets outside. Preferrably, small,
or narrow targets such as poles and cans. Get into attacking position
about 25-30 feet away from the intended target. If you have a scope, use
the scope to aim, as this will increase your accuracy. Check the wind.
Winds can move your stream away from the target, so you can't hit it.
When the coast is clear, FIRE!!! If you didn't hit the target, try some
more. This will get
you ready for the real war.
WAR:
During
a night fight, try to use the lighting to your advantage. This will conceal
you from enemy forces. Try to find the perfect place to set up a sniping
spot. During a war such as this, you want a small sidearm or water balloons
for a last resort if you are caught. Usually, high places and barricades
make the best sniping positions. Try to get low. You want to hide from
view as much as possible. Be VERY VERY PATIENT AND QUIET. Even if it takes
a whole hour and nobody's coming, still hang around there for a few minutes.
If nobody comes, go somewhere where you KNOW somebody's gonna go by. If
you see somebody you want to shoot, get low and fire at them. Whether
you hit them or not, you need to RUN!!!! Get away as fast a possible and
try not to make a lot of noise. If you still have plenty of water and
pressure left, set up shop somewhere else after a few minutes and SNIPE
ON!!!!
These are my sniping
/ night fight tactics. I hope these will prove useful to you. See ya later!
