Hmmm, my dad, who was a fairly big guy, once told me that when he was in the
Second, the approved technique was to hold the autofire piece sideways (rotate
90 degrees from the shoulder-fire position), and hold the trigger down while
it stuttered nicely through an arc covering (mostly) the opposing lines, let

again. He did mention that he knew exactly one person who could come even

affectionately nicknamed "Ox".
