America's Army/Basic Marksmanship Training

Basic Marksmanship Training

 * 1) Use Iron Sights: Always use iron sights. This is the way to line up your shot properly. It increases your combat effectiveness and consequently your likely-hood to hit the target.
 * 2) Breathe: Fire between breathing cycles.  You CAN hear the inhaling and exhaling. Your combat effectiveness is highest after you finish inhaling or exhaling.
 * 3) Stay Low:  Go prone or crouch whenever possible. The lower you are, the more accurate your shots will be due to increased combat effectiveness.
 * 4) Aim for the Center of Mass: Aim at the center of the target's body. Do not aim for the head. Aim one or two pixels to the left of the iron sight.
 * 5) One Target, One Shot: You want to get one target with one shot. If you can pull off getting a target with the 2nd shot - DO IT.  But be damn sure you can make it. Do not do this more than once. Remember, you only have 40 bullets for 40 targets. To be given a chance to do the Advanced Marksman training a score of 36 is required, which means you can only miss 4 targets.
 * 6) Don't Use Left Mouse Button: Use your Ctrl button to fire, so you don't move your mouse when you click.
 * 7) Right Mouse Button: Bind your right mouse button to your sights instead of Z so that you can easily zoom in and out to aquire a target.
 * 8) Adjust Your Screen Resolution: Put you screen at the lowest resolution possible, so the targets will be a little bigger and easier to hit.
