Arm stamina drain is a struggle

[FloppyDoppy]

Guys someonelse having a struggle with arm stamina drain with snipers?I love sniper but I mean I try to use a M700 which is not even meta, and to point to the target takes almost 1-2 seconds to get scoped, after other 1-2 seconds my char is already tired and exausted with arm stamina drain and I have the best attachments possible in this gun. Its not even a Meta gun and its so nerfed, no wonder why people just M4 or Mk18.

Yeah, same for me. As much as i love playing with the M700, it's a pain especially on long ranges when you need a bit more time to place your shot even when you are proned. Would be nice to have foldable bipods or the ability to mount wepons on cover (or even the backpack) to avoid stamina drain or to reduce it drastically.

dont use any type of vertical grip. they have good recoil control but reduce arm strain.
well, there are only 1 or 2 that do not reduce arm strain.

exactally what I was thinking a bipod, or simply reduce the stamina drain, its painfull to play with sniper for now.

Perhaps the sniper is a squad role to play so you are prone covering the team from an advantage point. Set up the gun for best possible sta loss reduction to cover weakness of the weapon. Is recoil even a worry on the m700 since it has a slow reload?
You should have time to aim on any target or it is the wrong weapon for the job. I haven't found myself lacking in time to aim a head shot in the time it takes for sta to drain.

For CQC use M4 and as SR use CQ A1 with normal AR-15 parts. Its semi auto so no waste of ammo. If Moded right it can be very good at sniping. Its not heavy and you find 5.56 almost in every location. Practical.

sorry Ive to disagree with you, Ive played plenty of fps's even realistic ones and stamina drain wasnt this bad struggeling to aim after 2-3 seconds of aiming. Im not saying I cant aim or Im not having good times with M700, just saying this shouldnt be a struggle after 2-3 seconds of aiming not being able to steady the aim, need to wait until my arm stamina recovers at least 50% which is more 10 seconds, to have more 2-3 seconds of aiming, its nonsense for a gun that isnt even meta.

yep, pratically and more worth. true. CQC atm its better for sniping than M700 itself. which is absurd in my opinion

Well, then good luck on shooting at around 300m on the airfield runway on a moving target with the M700 and a big scope. The stamina window for aiming + the time to zoom in on your target for easier target acquisition + holding breath for steady aim is around 3 to 4 seconds...
