"Zooming In" In First-Person? Any Actual Benefits?

[SlightlyAboveAverage]

I'm aware that actually "zooming in" in third-person makes it so that your shots are grouped tighter and decreases spread. However, I've also heard that certain weapons benefit from being used in first-person, such as the MG, which apparently has no recoil/accuracy penalty.

 

I'm wondering, if zooming in first-person (using the weapon's iron/scoped sights, actually has the same benefit as zooming in third-person?

I use the heavy sniper, combat mg and marksman rifle in first person, easier to accurately fire rpg's too in my opinion. Sometimes I pop third to see around corners but that's about it. For me recoil seems lowered on all guns in fp.

Using first person with a sniper rifle allows u to side step much faster when zoomed in

op means looking into that little scope on your carbine rifle or combat mg in first person as opposed to just shooting normally, personally i don't know, makes it weirder for me because the laser dot in the laser scope is actually just a dot in the scope which makes it go all over the place when shooting, so i never use it.

zoom in is useful to aim better, you can see little clearer your target

Easy to check. Find a wall, spray with aiming down in 1st and 3rd person. Bulletholes should tell you the difference.
