Interesting now that there is a hemet and a perk that increase accuracy while in the air. Do people do lots of jump shots that I'm not aware of?

Constantly. It's a great way to get the jump (heh) on an opponent. If you can land a shot (rarely 2) before hitting the ground you've got the advantage. Also, if you're paying attention to other fights around you, a quick jump-shot can net you a kill on an already weakened opponent.

Now one caveat is that this works best with weapons like Hand Cannons, sometimes Shotguns, and rarely Pulse/Scout rifles. I haven't had much success with Auto Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Machineguns, or Fusion Rifles. (but then I hate Fusion Rifles)
