AL GIORDINO's HK5 (SD) HEADSHOT METHOD

I own with this gun. It's super fast and accurate as hell. Virtually no recoil or kickback after the first shot or two. The drawback is it's incredibely weak. However, a head shot still kills. 1 shot to the head or 10 to the body, you decide.

Personally I like the SD because they never have a clue where your shooting them from, but the non silenced versions work just as well.

Anyway the best way to kill them is shoot them in the head. Usually when you get a head shot with any other weapon, most players basically are shooting at the guys body and trying to get it up a little bit to pop in his head. M14 for example, you aim low, shoot some body shots and get the head shot as it recoils back and up. So basically when you get a headshot with a normal gun, most people shoot from bottom to top, in an upward direction. Your not aiming above his head and moving down, and your not aiming to the side of him, and then onto him. This is effective with most guns because they are strong enough that body shots are very effective. The HKs however are so weak, you can put a bunch of bullets in their body, see blood splattering everywhere, but they will still be alive. You MUST hit them in the head, and I'm going to show you how.

With the HK5SD your going to shoot from left to right, or right to left. Because of the super fast firing rate, the bullets basically come out in a straight line. Plus there is no recoil when on full auto, so bullets are going where you want. All you gotta do is get it lined up with his head and then start firing and move it across.

Like this

start------0------finish
or
finish------0-----start

While you run, move, jump, constantly be adjusting the gun so that it will fire out at what you think is head level. You don't know how many times I've gotten shot at from behind, only to spin around while firing, and pop a cap in his head. You see a guy running leftward, aim a little bit left of his head level, start shooting, then move it across. It makes it a lot easier than trying to get it directly on his head before you pull the trigger. That's the only way to do it with most guns, because once you pull the trigger, the recoil will move your aim off his head. Thats not true with the SMGs.

You may be asking why not aim low at his body, then just move up in a perfectly straight line. The reason is because he will move. He can move left or he can move right, out of your fire, and he will be shooting back at the same time. Then you'd have to readjust but you'll be dead before you can. But if your only aiming at head level, he can move right or left, and still get wasted just the same.

-------0--
--0-------

Body shots are nothing but wasting bullets.

Anyway this all takes practice, but I think this can be one of the deadliest guns in the game. Just do what I stated, and realize when you use most guns, it seems players shoot guys wherever they can. With the M14, you shoot basically in an upward or downward direction. Most players bust out the smgs and are innefective because they are trying the same technique they use with other guns. With the HK, you want to go from side to side. All it takes is that one bullet to the head, which because of the super fast fire rate and lack of recoil, is easier to place than you think.

Sorry to burst your good advice on my favorite gun that I always talk about, but that is wrong. The gun has the most kickback/recoil than any other in SOCOM2 - even after the first shot it kicks, unlike the M14.

ya i agree with AL i use the Hk5sd and there is no recoil.(maybe some) But it shoots mad fast and is accurate. the only thing it lacks is range and power.

I think we have a different definition of recoil...

when I say recoil, I mean that the crosshair jumps up after every single shot, as opposed to the M14 that kicks after the 2nd shot.


If you are talking about the crosshair spreading apart, then yeah I agree.

Yeah recoil = the crosshair jumping up.

I don't know how anyone can say that the smgs have a lot of recoil, let alone "the most in the game" as you just stated.

They simply don't... in fact they have the least recoil in the game. Thats their advantage.. their whole point... accuracy... speed.. but they are weak.

EDIT 3/23/05:
Going back and testing these submachine guns some more, I will concede to the fact they have recoil, however it only seems to be the initial few bullets. Meaning if you are firing single shot, it jumps up after the first shot so the second one might be hard to get on target. However when firing it on full auto, it initially jumps up a little bit but then stays exactly where you want as you continue to hold down the trigger. The gun does have recoil but it's easy to contain if you aren't trying to pick off a guy with single shots.

We must own different SOCOM2 games or something.

Whenever I fire the HK5 it kicks up after every single shot, no matter which gun I'm using.


Also, I have nothing to agree with that hasn't been mentioned already. I do not always disagree, and in my first post of this thread I complimented you for making that little "tutorial" and whatnot. Drop your fscking pride and stop taking the defensive whenever someone tries to correct or tell you that you made a mistake somewhere. Me informing you and everyone else why PMS isn't a stupid clan name is NOT an attack on your anatomical part.
