Apparently full auto mauser C96 variants were easier to use sideways when clearing rooms

>>28344207
iirc, it was also because it kicked the case to the top, so it was "common" to get brass up your face when firing it, so the side grip was used for that.
It may have been proeminent with a particular model, can't remember...

This is a good example.

>>28343990
Its for idiots.

Back then in the late 1800's someone saw bulletdrop. He discovered that if you turn your gun by 180 degrees, the bullet fist goes up and then down, wich means less need to compensate for bulletdrop.
Thats where topfeed guns came in to indicate the shooter if he is holding the gun properly. Now we dont have any need for that because on all modern guns the barrels are by default build in by 180 degrees rotatet.

The need for holding sideways is from the 1970's sniper era when wind from one direction was so strong that you could not even zero it with your sights.

But today its pretty useless, yes.

Apparently the original bergmann smg manual from 1918 instructs on keeping the gun sideways and using the recoil for a sweeping fire, but I couldn't find one online right now.

When I was using m16a2's for mout, they taught us to tilt the rifle sideways, place the buttstock on top of our shoulder, and place it on burst. All due to its length.

Their reasoning was that in mout, you are in such a close proximity that you could effectively point and shoot on burst.

No one cares, and in a day do you think he'll turn around, remember this "conversation" and be like, "Well fuck I want to eat dicks."

Or do you think because this site is anonymous, neither of you will ever care about this pissing match again? For fucks sake grow up and go do something productive.

A retired SWAT guy told me that the only reason to hold a gun sideways is when you're behind a riot shield and need to make an aimed shot.

You're an idiot. Closest thing to your rambling is gyroscopic drift, but that's not affected by the position of the gun. Real guns don't have a hop-up.

These. Although in the case of the shields and masks, lasers are preferred. But if you don't have one, tilting it is the only way to see your sights.

You can control where the casing flies - if you're doing a drive-by shooting from an open-topped car, there isn't going to be any shell casing for evidence.

Other than that it's for niggers who think it looks cooler because your fist stays in the same position as when you're punching someone. Or some other nigger shit.

I would rotate my M4 90 degrees counter clockwise (ejection port facing up) when shooting at night under nods + peq. It would make it easier to thumb toggle the top rail mounted peq and removed the visual obstruction caused by the acog. I don't care if it's retarded. It worked and I could hit shit and really that's all that matters.

And there was me, thinking that object fall towards the ground because of gravity. What an idiot I was for believeing Newton and that stup meme about the apple he keeps posting.

If anyone needs me I'll be explaining to NASA how they can get things in to orbit easier by putting the engines at the top of the rocket, angled so the thrust pushes it downwards instead of up.

The russians apparently fire sideways sometimes because they argue if you point your gun at things like your index finger you'll hit target without using the sights.

>>28344207
Because the rate of fire was high af (1100 iirc), so chinks held them sideways so that the recoil would automatically "aim" at the other targets.
Ian made a video on it.
