3 Things You Don't Know About The AS50 Sniper Rifle

[y260]

The AS50 is the last weapon you'd expect to pick up on the battlegrounds of MW3. But, that's not because it's a "bad" weapon. After some close scrutiny, I've identified three things you probably don't know about the AS50:




If you don't have time to watch the video, the three secrets are:



3) Using the prone position to improve the AS50's characteristics



2) Understanding that some sniper rifles are not high-mobility weapons



1) Taking advantage of the AS50's unique scope magnification



What's your take on the AS50?

I never felt it was a bad weapon. Snipers just arent my thing. And I thought going prone always improved snipers characteristics like accuracy and reducing sway.

I only knew about the being prone thingy

AS50 is the aggressive sniper rifle....
Super limited use so far i like it the scope zoom takes some time to get used too.

Well, nice. I'm glad you learned some other thingies.

Thanks for the tips.

It's strange though; I always viewed the AS50 as the high mobility sniper rifle due to its limited scope, damage, and semi-auto nature. If you use speed on it it's definitely the most mobile sniper IMO.

I had this one gold at one time.

It's my favourite sniper to be honest. It's the only sniper I can get QS kills and fast reaction time.

It is a sniper I really haven't touched. This video has inspired me to try it. Snipers I generally avoid, I guess they just don't suit my style of play and I am much more comfortable with an SMG or Assault Rife.

Great video nevertheless.

My favorite sniper is the L11, don't like the MSR that much but picked the AS50 once on the ground and clutched a SnD round, might be worth giving it a shot.
