Re: Is this mechanic cheating?

You've discovered quickscoping. Don't worry my friend! It's a time honored technique.  Try to get the best quality stock that you can in order to maximize the speed of your quickscopes.

There are other sort of similar shooting mechanics in this game you should know. "Flash ADS": ADS for your first bullet or two with an automatic weapon, and you will retain ADS accuracy once you drop to hipfire. "Crouch hipfire": in most situations, your hipfire when crouching has less spread than if you were standing. You can (and should) combine both of these together in close-mid range encounters with SMGs and ARs, along with strafing.  I have a great document covering this stuff, but I don't think I can attach a PDF file here on the forum.
