How do you hol your gun?

[AutomagBoy]

Show us a picture how you hold you gun.

i just hold the foregrip with my left and handle with my right and shoulder my tank
i dont have one, but this is a picture of me popping out of a bunker

[Cryer]

2 pics:

When I'm posting on someone, I'll use my pointer finger on the lower part of the trigger.
Like so:

When I'm snap-shooting, or laying a string of paint, I'll use my middle and ring fingers and keep my pointer off the trigger. I can get a higher ROF that way.

Also, I don't "shoulder" the tank normally. I'll usually place the end between my shoulder and neck, or I'll just rest it on my shoulder instead of pressing it up against it (as seen in the second pic).

actually i walk the trigger when im laying a string of paint

[Tyger]

I have a tendancy to shoot with my hopper cantered "in" to the left, so that it's tucked into my body more. almost over my face.

You can kinda see it with this pic. I hope.

I usually shoot like Cryer does in his first picture.

[spacedtedybear]

I do the same thing Cryer does in his second pic, but when i post, i use my pointer and middle finger.

[Micromag man!]

nice form brak

[Da1spaz247]

OOOOOOOOOOPS I accidently posted my pics under my friends name. He used my computer last.

[Cryer]

oh... ok. You said "bad form", First thing I thought was some random guy came in flaming and when you said that, he deleted his post:confused::p

[S.S Bandit1]

cryer, i like your setup. nice form too.

[-=Squid=-]

thx. I cant wait till I get a Y-grip. I messed with Tom's prototype at the last AOTX meet and the angle is perfect. when I get that, the tank will be inside right where I like it, and my wrist will be at a more natural angle. I feel that the angle of my wrist with my current setup is adversly effecting my ROF...

*edit- Checked out your teams page. I like it. Cool pics.http://www.automags.org/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

I try to do that to avoid hopper-hits, but when I'm snap-shooting (the time that habit would be most useful) I end up forgetting...That's what causes most of my eliminations...

i've seen dynasty , aftershock and a couple other pro teams do that in my worldcup 2k2 dvd, whats the point of it, the only reason i saw to it, was they were reloading while shooting at the hip, but i saw a few never reload just shooting at the hip.

[Evil Bob]

A few reasons for this Spork...

1) Situation awareness: when you put your nose to the marker and sight down the barrel, you're focusing very intently on one location (tunnel vision) and you can easily lose track of things going on elsewhere. With your head up and away from your marker, you are more aware of your perifreal vision.

2) Lower noise interference: With the marker closer to your head, you get more marker related noise interfering with what you can hear around you. Players sometimes do this to be able to hear what their teammates are saying and still maintain supressive fire at their intended target. Anyone who has played tourney speedball knows that communication is key and that it is sometimes difficult to hear what your teammates are shouting at your with the crowd yelling and all the shooting going on.

3) Walking paint on target: You don't need to sight down your marker to be able to adjust your string of paint as you're shooting it. Usually when you're trying to keep someone's head down, all you need to do is shoot the barricade they are hiding behind, just walk the paint to the edge where you think they might stick their head out and keep up the fire until your team's favorite bunker monkey is in position to take the player out.

I don't wear the nose anymore, I did for a while tho.

Tell you what. Umm, the page is still in the works, but if you want to see it : http://www.tyger.us/paintball From there near the top you can see the costume section, where I've got pics of the cat costumes and so on. A full history is in the "Ears and Tail" section, some stills from Schatnerball... It's still under some construction, but you'll get the idea.

And, back to topic...
Cryer : Even if you keep the gun at 90 degrees vert. you can do some killer snapshooting. I've cut my teeth lerning to snapshoot with an SC Phantom, so you pick it up fast that way. Try practicing it slow on the target range, keepig the hpper cantered "in" to prevent a hopper shot.

I am the MAN...

[hornet6233]

This is how I hold when I walk, and snap. when I post i usally bring the thumb back behind. This makes it super easy to walk the trigger though :)
