It seems he is pretty much always in the last
building before the pick up point. My strategy
is to run straight to that building, only killing
the enemy soldiers and picking up the ammo
when needed. I also take at least three 'first aid
kits' to the mission - so I can heal my soldier
on the run.

I have only tried the first two missions. I have only been
able to complete the first one so far.

You need to stand at the right position and aim
diagonally downwards. BTW if you want to
conserve ammo while changing the aim,
but the safety on beforehand.

Yes, I think you should try it out. It is no less
demanding, but good fun still.
