Get the Partisan Snipingmug. The art of pulling out of a fuckhole (other than her face) seconds before busting a nut, and without changing positions, the skeet sniper acquires a target quickly and accurately spattering it with jizzum. Beginners tent to aim for the belly button or a nipple. Veteran shooters will target and take out an eye, nostril, specific tooth, the part in her hair, or combinations.
Skeet sniping advanced tactical maneuver:
Skeet sniper: "Ooooh, I'm gonna cum, ooooohhhhhhyyeaaaaaaaaaarraaarrrr!"
Random wench: "gnnaaachalchal" -gasp- "it went in my nose" -cough, cough- "and into my throat" -gag-
Skeet sniper:"BOOM, HEADSHOT!!"

Get the Skeet Snipingmug. Stream sniping is when someone watches your stream to get an upper hand to essentially cheat against you in a game. For example, they could find your position on an open-world map, find out where your base is, or even find out when you're low on health, so they can ambush you. It sucks. The deveopers of Rust, Facepunch Studios... are (to my knowledge), the first game developers to build a preventative measure against it into their game. They call it Streamer Mode.
Hey, its Edward Longface again! Ahhhh!!! Why did he shoot at me?! He probably knew my plan. He must be stream sniping!
