The M40A3 is the best sniper rifle by far. The best perks to use are also Claymores, Increased Bullet Damage and Iron Lungs. If you don't have increased damage, you'll really struggle with one shot kills unless you aim just right or get a head shot.
Like noisia said, all of the other sniper rifles have massive flaws, sure the 50. Cal is one shit kill with no perks, but if you miss you're screwed. The M21 is appalling, needing multiple shots to kill an enemy and the same goes for the Dragunov only with slightly better damage.
No matter how good the Dragunov is in real life, it's not the best by any means in Call of Duty.
Another thing, if you're going to snipe on that map, I wouldn't lie there :)
OH, and by the way, you were using a computer right? If you were using the mouse then thats even more appalling than I first thought.

dragonov is a bad gun, the best sniper rifle in the game is the basic m40a3.The Barret makes way too much noise and everybody swarms you, r700 has too much kick an m21 is only good close/medium range.
Hmm, I don't know about you, but I use my Barret every time and man... I can't even compare it with the Dragunov. With the Dragunov I missed all the time (even with steady aim...-.-') but with Barret I just can't miss... (maybe that's because the bullets are so large they just wipe everything in a 2mtr radius, idk.,.. :P)
For people to say that the Dragunov is not a good sniping weapon, seriously, when was the last time you shot one?
The Dragunov is one of the most powerful, accurate, rapid firing Sniper platforms on earth. It is powered by NUCLEAR Optics!(The Scope) The scope includes a range finder and red dot about 20 years before the US adopted Red Dot technology.
It also shoots one of the largest sniping rounds. No, it is NOT a .50BMG, but it IS a 7.62.
So in reality, the gun would either kill you or permanently disable you in a single shot.
ok, just to inform all of you morons who think I didn't hold my breath, here's a news flash, I did! woah, turned your life upside down? :p
and for the rest of the you, yeah, the dragunov sucks ass, the first sniper in the game is the most epiciest and I use it all the time :P r700 is nice, but the first one still kicks its ass ^^
Hmm, I can't really tell by the video, but I have experienced similar difficulties with the droganov, and only the droganov. Maybe its a programming error or something... I'm great with every single other sniper rifle. The droganov's bullets seem to have a mind of their own lol. I wouldn't worry about it, play around with each and find out which sniper rifle works best for you!
Btw, I am especially frustrated about my problem with the droganov because I already have it in gold TTATT I worked so hard for it too!
Ah, lil tip: fire at the top of the head, at the very tip of the helmet - I believe its bullet drop, happens to me alot but doing what I jjust said makes me get em everytime XD
For me, the 1st sniper rifle is best, the R700 being my second favourite. I may change my mind to my 2nd being the 50cal but last time I checked it felt too heavy for my type of sniping.
The only decent sniper is the first and last,everything in between is like what most things are in video games,which is to just look nice,but suck as# when you actually need to use them.MA023 ftw along with the .50cal
aye, when the damned bullets dont work it gets on my tits... but tbh i cant even get a game atm cose live is crap, so bullets not working are better than games not working.

keyblock says:
Well he didn't really die, so how could it suck? Also along with the dragunov, you need a bolt action rifle to really do some damage

MAN GUYS! Watch MY CARRRRRRRR LIFE!
thraKs says:
Sniping has become just fine since the first patch.
The Dragonuv isn't the best rifle out of the tree, try the bolt actions if you have issues with hitting the targets.
nemesiszax says:
next time go for a steady aim you won't miss

M1kk1828 says:
Sniping in COD4 sucks completely. the 50 cal misses all the time, the drag is good but at close range and the M40 is good

I play this on XBOX 360 though, too bad I cant film on it.
t0mat03 says:
Might help if you actually hold your breath in the game.
KrauTy26 says:
I think u need to hold your breath a little bit longer and then u wont need 3 shotz ^^

Hamppu says:

bapplebo says:
Last I checked hamppu, you are supposed to shoot the enemy for them to die.
Just a friendly tip. ;D
