Distractions.

Keep a nice rock or leafy tree branch nearby. If you're a sniper and you're not a big fan of ghillie suits(for some reason), and you fail to shoot an opponent who is getting closer, then before he spots you, chuck a rock or some other object with high mass into the bushes away from you. Your opponent will look away which will give you the opportunity to get in another shot. Other than that a nice tree branch will cover your face from your enemy. If you choose to do this, you can also strap a tree branch to your rifle. I may have just waisted your time and mine, but hey these things can come in handy.

i agree, i used this tactic when playing against my friend and his 2 brothers, they were scouting around and i took a shot but missed, so i chucked a rock and all three of them turned and looked pointing their guns at the bush, then i snuck up behind them and said bang bang bang and i got them all ha ha it was awesome.

Hehe, sucks for them.

Well if YOU throw the rock hard enough to get it a distance away from you (provided it's pretty heavy) isn't the motion of throwing more likely to get attention from your opponent before the rock lands? The human eye is trained to spot other human shapes, especially ones making big, awkward movements such as throwing a rock.

Maybe get someone else a little ways away from you to throw the rock?

well i mean it was so loud and big that they immediately looked there instead of where the rock came form, thinking the rock was me thrashing in the bush ha ha, but i was a sneaky little sniper and got luky i guess lol they should have sent one guy over and hads another scout for me, but nope they jsut all loked over there at it.

Hoperfully before they look over you can throw the rock.

or you could have a string tied to a bush or tree, and when they get close, yank on the string, and when they look, open up on them

You would need to find some kind of fishing string so it is hard to see and is strong enough. And you will not be able to get in a shot with one hand. But I can see how that can definitely fool someone. Nice idea.

thanks, i got it from a movie where a man escape from jail with that idea

oh, i've got an idea! you can make a trip wire, and while they are on the ground, you can walk up and pop 'em!

Hehe, "Watch your language".

I think this will work if they don't see YOU throwing the rock or where it came from.

yeah when ever i try that they usually see me when i throw it or with my luck ill hit a tree right in front of me

haha or get one of those airsoft claymores. those are sick
