Set multiple fire keys. More fire keys will help you shoot more bullets at once. Many players use the "Z", "X", and "C" keys for this purpose. Scroll down is a big help rather than just using left click. However, using the scroll button to fire is a disadvantage, as your bullets are often too close together, allowing your opponent to easily drive around them.
It is also important to keep a count of how many shots you and your opponent have left. If you are out of ammo, you should seek cover until you can reload. If your opponent is out of ammo, you should try to rush him while he is reloading.
