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: ???
