no-scopes
Sniper without aiming
No-scopes refers to shots in first-person shooter video games made without using the scope or aiming reticle, typically with a sniper rifle—a weapon designed for precision aiming.
Landing such shots requires luck or exceptional skill, making them a point of pride in gaming culture: He no-scoped that guy from across the map.
The term often appears in boastful or mocking contexts, immortalized in phrases like 360 no-scope, describing a shot made while spinning.
