can call of duty 4 help me learn how to use the acog scope and other various military weapons?
i’m in high school and thinking about joining and i noticed that the scopes look just like the real thhings. i hear the acog is the hardest to use, so if i master using in the game will that give me an advantage in real life.
alright, in response to all of you who think i’m crazy. i’m not talking about learning how to hold, shoot, or even clean the gun. i’m talking about helping me get used to aiming with the scopes.

The ACOG scope is a 4x scope with a reticle that helps to account for bullet drop out to 800 meters. Sure it’s a little harder to use, but only because MOST soldiers only use iron sights, or "red-dot" sights that don’t magnify the image at all.
The ACOG is only given to select Soldiers, as part of the Designated Marksman Program, which takes Soldiers who are already good shots, and gives them a better rifle and more training. The DM kinda bridges the gap between the standard Soldier and the Sniper. It gives extended range shooting capabilities to units that do not have snipers. I haven’t played COD 4 yet, so I don’t know much about the physics of the same, but if you want my opinion, the best way to learn how to shoot is to get yourself a rifle, and learn as much as you can. Even a .22 is great to learn with!
is this a joke? can you drive a car at 250 mph if you do so in a driving game? No, you will crash. Same goes for a gun. A controller is completely different from a firearm.
no
um it’s a video game. You don’t hold a weapon like you hold a game controller. cmon now, think.
N O, the ONLY way you will learn about the US Military is to ENLIST. Watching a game will NOT help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you’re planning on training on a video game before going in… then don’t go in kid, because you have the wrong fucking mindset.
If you join the military they will make sure you know how to use all your equipment. if you want to have an advantage learn how to use a real weapon.
The video game might help you with the familiarity of what looking in the scope might be, but it will not help you in using it.
An acog scope is not hard to use, just have to read the stanza lines, and make sure it is zeroed correctly. but a video game will not help you, because it is not real!
