Steps:
  1. Get a railscope attachment
  • Turn/keep your burstfire mode off
  • Find an obstacle to get behind, scope the area for light
  • If you do not see any light, then drop several flashlights (which can be made from an autolathe or found in a locker or emergency tool kit) around the area where you'll be scoping.
  • Warn everyone about what you're doing, and tell them you're ready to fire
  • Don't do shit. You're fucking useless

You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Guide to using AP ammo as baldy:
Step 1: Take no less than 21 AP mags with you, 6 in your belt, 7 in your backpack, 2 in your pockets, 2 in your armor, 1 in your gun, and 3 in a webbing.
Step 2: Burstfire is a must, Never toggle it off.
Step 3: Switch aim to the eyes, it does more damage.
Step 4: Get a barrel charger and quickfire from RO, don't let him deny you, you know better because you are robust.
Step 5: When hostiles appear shoot in their general direction with no regard for any friendlies between you and the target.

fill every single hole with AP mags, aim for the head and get Quickfire+Burstfire Assembly on your weapon and toggle burstfire on and stay behind marines, even behind the smartgunner

Seriously, the best advice I can give to people who want to use AP is:

Stop fuckin hoarding all the god damn AP, the chance of you firing them all off is near impossible, even with quickfire burst. If you wanna waste ammo, waste normal quality ammo.
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

actually when I feel trigger angry I go with SMG, no one misses poor m39 mags, acts as a decoy to keep xenos away

What AP Ammunition? Nahhhhhhh you should be using HE Sadar Rockets when around groups of friendlies regardless if you hit anything or miss so bad (Pro-Tip: See one xeno in a middle of a group of marines you get bonus points for shooting HE at it), who uses AP for Sadar anyhow if yah really want to shoot AP rockets it good to miss dah xeno and strafe into a Marine. Here is my tips for Sadar AP and HE.
"Young Carrier (920) (follow) hisses, "Shut up both of you or we aren't going to invade disneyland."

Long time ago, I, Ka'Torag-na Halkrath, Skilled Master Hunter Of Prey, Unleashed an unspeakable evil upon Xenos and Humans! But a foolish Xeno Hunter wielder of robustness stepped forth and opposed me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore a gate of Salt of Solitude and flung em into the world of CM, and took out their Facehugger Capabilities! Now, this Xeno Fool seeks to return the favour, and undo my evil reign and of many other predator predecessors!
