Sniper kit layout

[CptainCrunch]

I see a lot of people sniping and they all have something different. What is your preference in layout and why?

Right now I have the sniper rifle, R700 at the moment and this:

claymores (cover your back)
Overkill (with silenced 74U)
Dead Silence

This layout does alright, but when UAV comes up, I become the hunted. Its fun because I know they are coming when the UAV comment is played and I am usually ready. BUT, is UAV jammer and giving up the machine gun better?

I like having the gun because then I have a more balanced fighting kit.

Im thinking of going:
Claymores
UAV jammer
Dead Silence or iron lungs

Anyway, whats yours and why?

I don't use UAV jammer anymore - too much friendly activity near me to have it be useful.

M40
Gold Deagle

Bandolier
Sleight of Hand
Steady Aim/Iron Lungs

::Edit::

I use Sleight of hand for popping off a quick set of rounds, and I use steady aim when playing TDM for those quick no-scope shots.

However, I found steady aim to be pretty useless because no scoping is extremely innacurate in CoD4,

There's not much use in perk 2 for a sniper other than sleight of hand and UAV Jammer. Using overkill gives you a delay between switching weapons (takes longer to pull out an SMG or AR than a pistol) so I really don't find much use for it.

R700
Bandolier
Stopping power
Steady aim (cause I rarely hold my breath for more than 3 secs)

**Steady Aim** (Wrong perk before, sorry) only works when you're out of scope though (firing from the hip).

I can understand why you'd still use it, but I wasn't sure if you were clear on it due to your description.

Wait, what? Really?

Right now I'm using:

M21
Claymores
Stopping Power
Steady aim (invaluable for me)

[MechaManguskahn]

Dragunov (Why do people keep hatin' this weapon? I have Red Tiger for this weapon so it obviously works.)
Claymore x2
Overkill with silenced P-90 or Deep Impact (for sweet "wall hack"-like shots)
Iron Lungs or Extreme Conditioning

I haven't really used Dead Silence yet so I can't tell how effective it is. I use the Claymores to cover any hallways/doors/bottlenecks to my position, use the silenced P-90 to keep myself hidden from radar when attacking at close range, and the Iron Lungs for extended accuracy or Extreme Conditioning to get from position to position faster (or flee like a little girl whenever I am overrun).

[Micster]

Any Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle or Barret .50
Deagle
Claymores
Stopping Power
Iron Lungs or Dead Silence

I find that Stopping Power doesn't seem to affect the M21, and possibly Dragunov.

I think he means Steady Aim, because SP does do extra damage.

[Micster]

I think Iquere ment Iron Lungs, which allows you to hold your breath for over 8 seconds.

Steady Aim only affects the Sniper Rifle when firing from the Hip. Makes a decent panic weapon, like the Pistol.

Stopping Power should work whether you're firing from the Hip or if you're scoped.

barrett
claymore
UAV jammer
iron lungs

i suck at sniping though.

[The Todd]

Harcore S&D:

Dragunov
G36c w/ RDS
Smoke
Clays
Overkill
Iron Lungs

I find this kit to be very dominant in HC S&D. Just snipe until the bomb is planted, then defend/defuse with the G36c.

Non HC:

M40A3
Deagle (if availiable)
Clays
Stopping Power
Iron Lungs
