A missed shot usually means one need only quickly repeat. This is due to the fact that the crosshairs essentially ' lock on' briefly and allow one to achieve relatively easy one-shot kills. The tactic itself involves utilizing quick reflexes to spot an enemy, center them on screen as best as possible, and then zoom into your scope only to then fire as soon as the crosshairs are visible. One of the biggest debates surrounding quick scoping is whether or not the tactic requires real skill, how much skill, or if it's just a matter of repetition and blind probability. Older than the COD franchise, this tactic has been made heavily popular with COD: Modern Warfare 1 and 2. A tactic used by snipers in FPS video games.
