PS1 : Bolt Sniper Rifle - Can you get rid of the "deadzone" while zoomed in?

[Mansen]

I finally caved and bought PS1 today - just to get a feel of how the first game was/is before I get into the PS2 beta.

I went sniper with my first few certs - a major mistake I was soon to realise

The game has some odd "deadzone" behavior while I'm zoomed in using my Bolt Action rifle. Basically unless I yank my mouse around and make big, fast movements it refuses to move at all. Makes it incredibly hard to get any shots off.

Is it possible to disable this "odd" behavior somehow? I noticed that the "smooth mouse" option had the same result, but for generic mouse movement.
