Shoot your AR like a Gansta does handguns

Postby Unkn0wN » Wed, 09 Mar 2011 12:24:37

That's right folks, now you too can shoot your AR tilted on it's side just like a Gansta shoots his hanguns.....

This would be a must have for any gansta wannabe, but we all know a real gangsta doesn't aim his AR, they employ the spray and pray method.

It's actually not a bad idea and he isn't the first to come up with it AFAIK (Knight Armament had something like this IIRC). It really is intended as a 3 gun competition enhancement. Bigger optics make longer range shots easier, but then you loose time on the CQB sections. For competition it makes a lot of sense (because of the rules), but for something like a military application I'm not so sure.



It's what always happens to "practical" competitions. Over time they become more specialized and no longer resemble their practical roots. E.g. NASCAR has virtually nothing to do with a regular production car except marketing.

A real gangster knows that a "kill shot" only works when you hold it 90 degrees sideways...only 45 degrees is for the birds.

If you can hold it upside down? With the Mag facing up? And you shoot someone? It'll cure the hiccups.

Yup! 5.56mm is completely ineffective when shot upside-down. Might as well throw marshmallows.
