no-scope

Quick unzoomed elimination

No-scope refers to a shot in video games, especially first-person shooters, fired without using the scope or aiming down sights—typically with a sniper rifle at close range.

The technique requires luck or skill since accuracy suffers dramatically.

As a verb, to no-scope someone is to kill them this way: I can't believe he no-scoped me from across the map.

The term often appears in gaming highlight reels and trash talk.
