They're naturally stupid. Any idiot who has to drive a car with his hat on sideways, while sitting dead center on the console just to look "stylin' ", is a couple slabs short of a sidewalk anyway. http://www.slate.com/id/2238560/ As police chased Raymond "Ready" Martinez through Times Square on Thursday, the street hustler and aspiring rapper fired two shots, holding the gun sideways "like a character out of a rap video." According to the New York Post, Martinez's side grip caused the gun to jam, enabling police to shoot and kill the suspect. What's the point of holding a gun sideways? To look Hollywood, of course. Journalists and gun experts point to the 1993 Hughes brothers film Menace II Society, which depicts the side grip in its opening scene, as the movie that popularized the style. Although the directors claim to have witnessed a side grip robbery in Detroit in 1987, there are few reports of street gangs using the technique until after the movie came out. The Hughes brothers didn't invent the grip, though. In 1961's One-Eyed Jacks, Marlon Brando used it, as did Eli Wallach in 1966's The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. Directors may prefer the style because it makes it easier to see both the weapon and the actor's face in a tight camera shot. While the New York Post reported that Martinez's side grip caused the gun to "stovepipe"�that's when the spent casing gets caught in the ejection port, jamming the weapon�it's unlikely that the horizontal orientation caused the failure. In theory, tilting a gun sideways�90-degrees counter-clockwise for a right-handed shooter�means that gravity works against the ejection of the spent casing. As a practical matter, however, gravity is so weak compared to the force of the ejection that jamming is no more frequent in the sideways position than in the customary one. The more likely cause of the jam was Martinez's choice of weapon and ammunition. The MAC-10 is prone to stovepiping�a problem that's exacerbated by the use of hollow-point bullets, which may become deformed and scrape the inside of the barrel, or underpowered ammunition, which can slow the slide and throw off the mechanism's timing. While the side grip does not increase the risk of stovepiping, it is terrible for aim. It's extremely difficult to properly use the top-mounted sight on a handgun that is turned sideways. Not that this matters much to the average street criminal. According to an FBI study, 60 percent of them don't even use the sight. Aiming a gun sideways has long been shorthand for risky, indiscriminate shooting. The title character in George Washington Cable's 1894 novel John March, Southerner, exclaims, "No man shall come around here aiming his gun sideways; endangering the throngs of casual bystanders!" During the first half of the 20th century, soldiers used the side grip for the express purpose of endangering throngs of people. Some automatic weapons from this era�like the Mauser C96 or the grease gun�fired so quickly or with such dramatic recoil that soldiers found it impossible to aim anything but the first shot. Soldiers began tilting the weapons, so that the recoil sent the gun reeling in a horizontal rather than vertical arc, enabling them to spray bullets into an onrushing enemy battalion instead of over their heads. Nowadays, the only time professionals use the side grip is while holding riot shields, which limit their field of vision. Turning the gun and raising it up make the sight slightly more visible.

That is the most idiotic idea I've ever heard of. Any professional soldier would laugh silly at this bullshit. Son, on auto fire, the M16, for example, and almost every auto rifle in the world, is so ridicously easy to fire and so little recoil that the upward to the right spray, like using a .45 cal Tommy gun, which was the first real instance of problems with autofire of a machine gun, is negligent. If you're holding a BAR or similar hand held auto, you simply adjust for the slight upward tendency and hold it down. And only morons use auto fire anyway. Unless you're on a 20MM ack ack trying to shoot down an airplane. Even then it's just a thumper. You fire 2-4 round bursts and you learn to use 3 round bursts at a time. With a 3 round burst, done correctly, you can triple tap some asshole at 50 years with a nice 10" circle right on their chest. Anymore is overkill and just leaves you with an empty clip while the more professional and calmer soldier then rises up and shoots you're stupid ass dead while you're fumbling with clips. > > Nowadays, the only time professionals use the side grip is while holding > riot shields, which limit their field of vision. Turning the gun and > raising it up make the sight slightly more visible. > And this also brings to mind my pet peeve, two idiocies that are taught at all police academies and such, and I can't trace where this stupidity came from, but somewhere around the laste 70's all of a sudden everyone went from the single hand grip to the excreably stupid double hand grip on side arms. What moron started this idiotic fad? Why did everyone in the world copy it? All you do with a double hand grip is to expose your center mass to return fire. I've even seen movies about cops where the idiot jumps around a corner in a house with a known armed bad guy inside and jumps around the corner with his stupid hand grip, becuase to use one hand and quickly peer around the corner with one hand holding the gun and only exposing your hand, gun and your head for 1/2 second seems beyond the intelligence of our police departements. The correct way is to get on one knee, shift your gun to you left hand ( you should have had plenty of shooting practice with either hand by now) set yourself steady, and then quickly extend your hand with gun and head at a lower angle around the corner for a quick peek. You have the 1 second opportunity to fire or duck back. At a lower, floor or knee level exposure you trick the opponent who is always expecting something to come around the corner at 5-7' in height, not on the ground or lower. Gives you that 1 second edge that is critical and keeps you alive. This and many other tactical solutions I thought was common sense....but instead I see nothing but idiocy in P. Depts and army movies these days. I even see, like in that idiot film "The Hurt Locker" ( movie about soldiers in Iraq) all the troopers walking down the middle of a hostile fucking street, all bunched together, crouched over and walking slowly....like that's going to save their stupid asses, hunched over! Directed by a women so that's why it's so stupid. Makes me cringe. What was the use of all that millions they used to train me...and then 20 years later every swinging dick in the world is being taught to do it completely wrong, like fucking morons? That last idiocy I see is this idiotic "flashlight" bullshit in cop shows. The place is dark. The bad guy is inside. So what does this moron cop do? They use that two handed idiot shooter grip, with the flashlight ON, and held right at center mass! And they walk slowly right up the middle of the room~!!!!!!! What fucking moron came up with that? I mean, doesn't anyone figure that a bad guy, wanting to shoot someone, would aim right at the center of the light source??????? I can't wait for the next pandemic....all these morons who can't think and just watch movies will die like flies doing stupid shit like that as they fight to survive. -- Explanation of a Free Country: Democracy is when 2 wolves and a sheep meet to decide who is for dinner.

Report me too while you're at, you worthless ignorant liberal. He really thinks that isps care about what is said on usenet....hell, there is still so much CP and other shit on usenet becuase they can't be bothered or care less about the 3% of the population who use usenet. Dumb shit. Report me for also for being a homophobe, a misogynist and a dog fucker while you're at it. THis person is obviously: A liberal, young, male, not very bright, taking liberal arts easy course at a community college, broke, living off momma and drinks Starbucks coffee. Pretty simple profile to figure out huh? -- Explanation of a Free Country: Democracy is when 2 wolves and a sheep meet to decide who is for dinner. Liberty is when the sheep has a gun.
