Their tactics seem pretty sound. The only one I'd have issue with is the protruding barrels through the walls. You're supposed to sit back from the hole.

[@stkvictor9404]

Why could you explain to me?

[@chaz2x65]

@@stkvictor9404so no one can spot you from your barrel sticking out of the hole which is really easy especially when you’re trying to locate the sniper based on where his bullets are hitting. Also having your barrel stick out of the hole also reveals muzzle flash. If you sat back away from the hole you have more concealment to cover your muzzle flash which is another way to locate where someone is shooting at you
