Has shooting your gun sideways ever worked? Like, at all?
>>
If you are laying sideways
>>
One handed shooting requires you to tilt the gun slightly sideways but not full retard sideways.
>>
When firing out a right side passenger window with your handgun vertical as normal the ejected casing will hit the guy shooting out of the rear right window in the face as it is sucked in by the moving air, firing sideways causes it to eject up in relation to the car and clear the rear right window.

If you actually use the sights, tilting sideways should have no effect on accuracy for intents and purposes. Problems is the spear chuckers don't use the sights, or even point shoot. They just hold their arm up and start jerking the trigger.

I've heard this was adopted in drive by shootings with automatic pdw's. Also dubbed 'street sweepers' if you held the gun sideways, the recoil will sweep laterally across street(ideally) instead of pulling up over your intended target.

Now it is done because it 'looks cool'
>>
>>30281717
We all are in agreement it does look cool though right? An ak held sideways over the head is basically porn

i find it hard to believe anyone ever in a gang shoots their gun sideways

i've literally only seen it on tv
>>
>>30281842

how many gang wars have you participated in Tyrone?
>>
>>30281746
Nnnnnnnno, it looks dumb. Hold the damn gun right.
>>
According to a former SWAT guy, the only excuse for holding a pistol sideways is when you're behind a ballistic shield.
>>
Just shoot the gun like a regular person, not like a fucktard.

This guy's got it.

Realistically would this work? How easy to make?
>>
>>30282067
if sight alignment is used properly, yes
practical? no.

they would be better off just buying a laser, no sights needed.
>>
>>30281943
To be fair they are doing so for a good reason, they all probably hold their sidearms properly when the shield isn't in their way

Also they are actually using the sights
>>
>>30281620
Maybe not that far sideways, but among other reasons covered already a slight tilt could be done with earlier semi auto handguns like the Mauser C96, so the ejecting brass wouldn't come right back down onto the gun.
>>
>>30282698
I also suppose a more severe sideways tilt wouldn't be too much of an issue if you needed to very quickly draw and shoot out your window at someone threatening you from outside your car, just hope the brass won't hurt too much.

If you're shooting slowly, it isn't really a problem. Once you start shooting faster, you can't walk your shots up the target (assuming you're shooting at a human or human shaped target for training).

>>30281620
The only thing it's really useful for is shooting around ballistic shields.

A: >>30281647

B: I know that the French equivalent of SWAT sometimes uses a weird sideways grip on their handguns when using shields, I have no idea if anyone else does this.

Handgun sights tend to make the user angle the gun slightly upward, if you're holding the gun sideways and aligning the sights then you'll be tilting the gun to the side. Of course, at close range it probably won't matter.
