Scope as much as possible.

Using your scopes and aiming down the sights gives you a huge bonus over shooting from the hip. Unless you're staring face to face with your target close enough to notice the blood stains on their uniform then you should practice scoping when acquiring your target. If you're opening up from the hip then pause and scope to draw your shot deviation back down to something managable faster than the burst/rest cycle. Ideally you want to be able to quickly scope, crouch, and pop off shots aiming at the head or neck for those quick kills.

Pactice Practice Practice

The more you shoot the more you'll get a feel for how your gun handles. The standard assault rifles actually have a lot of difference between them. The SCAR is a watered down BAUR (not surprising since its the light rifle variety) and the Krylov is the Voss' big brother. A lot of people like the Krylov and Voss because of how their sights are set up and their accuracy over long range with rapid single shot and fire superiority with small deviation in CQC. Few people will ever openly admit they like the SCAR because it feels like a shooting briefcase and the sights are ugly and unintuitive. The Baur takes a practiced hand to work with and is less "spray and pray" but the learning curve is pretty high before you stop shooting are birds while aiming at the ground.

Its not how much lead is in the air, but how much hits the target.

Semi-Automatic is a wonderful thing that can give you quite and edge in medium and long ranged combat. The Krylov and Voss will ALWAYS hit the red dot on the first shot, but then start to slightly deviate with each consecutive shot until you rest. The great news is the amount of time needed for rest is only slightly longer than the delay between each individual button push if you're clicking rapidly. That means in short/medium ranged combat while scoped and crouched you can put as many bullets into someone's head as it takes you to push the button. Of course you'd be giving up the fire superiority of full auto in short range that you can bet your opponent will use to spray and pray as much lead into your center mass as possible. Long range I still suggest using semi-auto over full auto burst fire because you can accurately aim and put bullets into your target without your gun jumping all over the place.


Lastly don't move and shoot. If you run and gun then regardless of if you're crouched or scoped your shot deviation will shoot through the roof (kinda like an unsighted HMG). Your best bet for getting your bullets to go where you want is to plant your feet and make sure you're behind some cover at least.
