This hateful lovely M21

[redvex]

I'm in the mission with James Gastovski, the one where you go to kolgujev in order to destroy the previously located shilkas.
I selected m21 in the weapon choice.
When mission started, i spotted 3 reds at about 180 meters.
I zoomed on one's head, I could see his eyebrows printed on my rifle's scope. :biggrin:
His head was in the center of the scope.

-BLAM!-

I missed him!!!
how can that be?
M21's supposed to be a sniper...is there some way I can fix this?

Yeah, you could try learning how to use it. :biggrin:

Read the manual mate.
Don't have a manual? Go buy it.

Indeed, sniping is a art.

It's not a CS AWM!

you were probably zoomed in way to far(more inaccurate when u r zoomed in far) You would have gotten him if he was more like......380 meters.

Ignore the last 3 replies, Redvex.

The M21, and SVD Dragunov are short range sniper rifles. They're only used to extend the range of an infantry squad.
Both rifles are only good for about 150m. Anything beyond that, then you have to aim to the lower-right a little. The SVD Dragunov is more powerful, and more accurate than the M21... Only having 10 rounds is a small drawback.


So, try not to engage with the M21 for anything over 150m.

This is the correct answer, as was Rabnud's. Read the manual. 150 meters is the limit for the legally blind.

It's easy to nail people at even 600m with the M21. Just raise it about 2-3ft above the person's head.

*lol*
Sorry, but that is BS!
You can use the M21 and the SVD up to the sighting range of OFP and still be effective...well, at least I can

@ redvex: Simply practice a little bit and you can engage enemies up to any distance you want to.

I was replying to how Redvex was aiming directly at the head with the crosshairs. That only works at 150m. Anything higher, then you have to aim to the upper-left or lower-right.

You aim to the lower-right when the target is like 1km away. Upper-left is for around 300m

Again all bulls**t this guy says that the AK74 fires a 5.45 NATO round
the SVD dragunov has a effective range of 600 up to 800 m
The M21 is actually a modified M14 it has a great range and its very accurate
