cold bore shot
Taking the first shot from a sniper rifle with a clean barrel. Extremely difficult, you have to anticipate where the shot will go. only after the first shot you can adjust your dope (Data On Previous Engagement). also after a first shot is fired the inside of the barrel will set on carbon residue that will change the flightpath of the bulet.
