I mean, I figured out that as long as the trigger's down, you'll lock onto a guy.  But how do you break a lock on yourself?

-Keep moving.
-Jump
-Run behind something.

The key is that as long as his recticle is within so much distance it'll keep following you. If you're unpredictable you have a better chance of breaking it. Move forward/backward diagonally, not straight toward/away from the enemy.

Other tips:

- don't blow your load. Wait until you have a lock BEFORE you start shooting.
- keep moving during reload. Shooting him from 150' away when you don't have a lock, you've wasted half a clip before you're in range and you've lost the element of surprise and he has a full clip on you while you reload.
- try to time your movement so that you make him waste ammo, while he reloads finish him off.
