No Scope/Playing With

Basic Trope: Firing with a sniper rifle without using the scope.
 * Straight: Bob the sniper never uses the scope with his sniper rifle.
 * Exaggerated: No sniper rifles come with a scope. If they even exist.
 * Justified: Bob the sniper don't want to get spotted because of the reflexion on his scope lenses.
 * Or he is so good he wants to give his enemies a fair chance... or Cherry Tapping them.
 * The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard and so can no-scope easily
 * Bob didn't have another weapon on him, and he's so close to his target accuracy wasn't a major concern.
 * Inverted: Bob puts a scope on a really inaccurate weapon.
 * Subverted: Bob looks through the scope to shoot.
 * Bob uses the iron sights.
 * Double Subverted: It's just the animation frames.
 * The scope doesn't work.
 * Parodied: At the academy (tutorial), a recruit asks where are the scopes. "You want a scope you frikkin' pansy? What kind of lame sniper uses a scope! You moron! No scope!"
 * Deconstructed: Bob gets killed by a sniper outside of his effective range... Who was using his scope.
 * Reconstructed: Bob can spot enemies that gets close by that way.
 * Zig Zagged: He doesn't use the scope... Then he starts using it. Then he ditches it...
 * Averted: Bob uses his scope.
 * Enforced: "We won't include a scope feature, so that they will show us their real talents!"
 * Lampshaded: "You never use the scopes, do you?"
 * "What is this..."scope" you speak of?"
 * Invoked: The leader removes all scopes from the rifles.
 * Defied: "This safety will only disable when using the scope."
 * Discussed: ???
