quickscoping
Snap aim, fire
Quickscoping is a technique in first-person shooter video games where a player briefly aims down a sniper rifle's scope and fires almost instantaneously, exploiting the moment when accuracy increases.
The skill requires precise timing—scoping just long enough to register an accurate shot before returning to normal view: He quickscoped three enemies in a row.
The technique originated in games like Call of Duty and remains controversial, with some considering it a legitimate skill and others viewing it as an exploit.
