One thing to watch out for, which I learned from being a sniper, is if you have the upper hand, DON'T GO BACK BEHIND COVER.
If your aimed at someone, and ready to shoot, and THEY go back behind cover, you definitely shouldn't go back behind cover yourself since you'll lose the advantage.

And remaining calm is paramount. Many times I've been under full auto fire and still managed to take out my target simply because they're panicking and I'm not. Full auto on AEG's is inaccurate enough as is without you shaking in fear. Stay calm, aim, and try to use semi auto as much as possible.

And if you encounter someone who's an excellent marksman, don't try to have a sniper battle with them because your gonna lose. No matter how good you think your cover is, an excellent marksmen will be able to shoot anything they can see. The proper way to deal with them is from multiple angles. I know I can't accurately engage 2 targets spread more than 30 degrees apart at the same time with a bolt action rifle, but nobody knows that so keep that to yourself lol
