for complete newbies: this will take some getting used to at some point anyway, might as well start early. use your pistol crosshairs to get a feel for where the center of your screen is. You will need to know where this spot is like normal people need to know where to find a toilet. some guns come with a scope and thus have no crosshairs unless you are using a scope. frequently those guns will take forever to get pointed where they need be pointed if you are using the scope. and for other guns, well, learn your crosshairs. and your spray patterns. (spray patterns aren’t sequential, for those of you that know enough chemistry or molecular physics, spray patterns are more like electron density graphs or whatever they’re called that have frequently hit areas (slightly off-center) and not so frequently hit areas (dead center) )
spray and pray only works close quarters. i suggest that over long distances you squeeze off a few shots, let your gun stabilize, and fire off some more. if you need evidence, I have enough confidence to stand at a distance and you empty an entire 100-bullet para clip at me. then while you are reloading since it takes so long i may as well charge and knife you
