no-scoping
Sniper without magnification
No-scoping is a video game technique, especially in first-person shooters, where a player fires a sniper rifle without using the scope—shooting from the hip at close or medium range.
The move is risky but flashy, celebrated when it lands: I can't believe you no-scoped that guy from across the map.
Successfully no-scoping an opponent is considered a show of skill or luck, often taunted in competitive play.
