darkchild130 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks guys! It's nice to have a job that doesn't involve me running around shooting things. Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Bought 'Dying Light'. Good bye any form of social life for the next month. Replace Dying Light with Monster Hunter 4U and next month with year and we have me after midnight tonight (as long as the Nintendo Eshop doesn't immediately crash). About the only thing I've been excited for in a long time. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Now you can imagine shooting things in your head and have the option to add realism, or keep it Hollywood and fire from the hip (unless you want to do the classic T800 double execution style of ar18 then a spas12 to finish your opponent off). Had a cream egg today. My digestive system hates me but my taste buds *fruitcage* adores me. Edit:- Gunmane, is this game you speak of available on the PS4? Link to post Share on other sites

scorch Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'm an infantryman, anyone who fires from the hip in my stories deserves to die very quickly. And rightfully so. Firing from the hip is for wild west gunslingers and guys with flame throwers. Link to post Share on other sites

darkchild130 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Scorch, That's not necessarily true. I have been trained to fire from the hip on several occasions, one being plain clothes close quarter battle (think the alley scene in Collateral, Tom Cruise learnt techniques directly ripped from UKSF tactics) and also when conducting car based anti ambush drills. You empty your first mag through the windscreen on automatic, laying down suppressive fire so your buddy can get clear of the vehicle. It's just that hip fire is used in such narrow context, using it outside of a very specialised role would lead to morons thinking that it is acceptable to do. Then you would get loads of airsofters doing it too, because somebody said it was good (Re: anything said by Chris Costa) Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yeah, I know there are specialist circumstances for hip fire. I was speaking in general terms. Link to post Share on other sites

Thats what made me smile. I was nowhere near as good as Mr Cruise, but holy *suitcase* did I feel like the boosums. Destroyed the lower half of the fig 11 and the mantlet behind it.

Habakure Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Darkchild139, have a character named habakure firing from the hip and then dying horrifically. He's in a wood and the enemy is far away . . . . Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Well then he deserves to die, attempting that at range. The pass rate for the seated car shoot is something like 10 rounds out of 50 on target (It doesn't matter where, you can't make groups) at 50 metres. One time I got 30 out of 50 and was well chuffed. With the Tom Cruise *suitcase* (which is actually called GLF, fact fans) accuracy is irrelevant as it's all conducted under ten metres. We used to practice with blanks by physically attacking each other, the defender had to fight off the attacker with one arm while simultaneously drawing and firing (often having to get a jacket/hoody out of the way first) from the hip. We call it the cowboy shot, you then follow up by punching out into your regular stance and cracking on (as Tom does in the movie) Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore1-6 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 It's all about the lean. Instructor forgot his 'ears' call during his demo.Lent back, puffa jacket up, whapped his glock out, smashed two in the chest with a sub two inch spread, punched and hit the bridge of the nose. I'm half metre away with ear def off while the butts party are repatching the 11s behind him sans ear def.Top lesson, not a fudge given about safety. Glock in your waist band? Not a problem. One handed with your off hand Sir? Give it a go, you might be better.Still, massive smiles on faces fanning a glock. Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 See, we never leaned, our style was the same as this guy from the 80s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA-xIssgT-o You'll note that he does not lean. You'll notice that he does his mozambique drill so fast, the sound guys only dub two gunshots on, despite him firing three. Obviously this guy doesn't cowboy first, but it's the same *suitcase*.

FireKnife Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Actually, they did dub three shots in, however most TV showings and early VHS recordings didn't cope with it. Taken from the Blu-Ray later release you can hear the second shot but damn it is close on that double tap. As for the whole hip firing with a pistol, it has it's uses like all things. It is just the people that think it works for the wrong situation that makes me laugh. Seeing people in airsoft try and ping a shot off someone at 10m firing from the hip, forgetting that in reality a pistol sometimes is just being used as a incapacitating punch over a 'use sights and shoot' gun does make me chuckle. Still I don't really see that translating well into airsoft given that I doubt someone would relish there gun bashed and three to four 300fps bits'o'plastic in the gut. Finally, as for leaning, well I find that any pistol I pick up I end up in some weird, modified Weaver with partway between straight and stacked thumbs grip and rarely lean, if ever. Then again this is airsoft, I have yet to have a GBB pistol that doesn't have recoil you can't manage one handed, in your support hand . 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Habakure, it is 3ds/ newfangled 3ds only. Sony shot themselves in the foot repeatedly when they let Nintendo take the reigns of the platforms monster hunter is released on. My PS4 and Vita are in containers somewhere crying right now.

Tw1tch Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Double post (OHNOES) but in a sweet, sweet irony to my last post a LMT QD M203 (which I think must be G&P, can't think of any other manufacturers) came up in my news feed and I've just bought it. Now here's hoping the firing pin is long enough to discharge a TAG round without modification. Link to post Share on other sites
