Start to peek out from behind cover to your right (if you are right handed).

Watch your elbow explode as I put a round through it.
Watch your arm fall to the ground, as you fall forward, and observe the lights going out as I put one in right under your nose.
In airsoft, you are 100% correct, chicken wings are fine. In the real world, you'd better hope they come with hot sauce or a medic, because they get you killed. :D
Chicken wings are not about shouldering the weapon.
Then you are doing it wrong. The butt should either lock into your gear, or fall into the pocket created in your shoulder when you bring the rifle up to your face. If there is no pocket, you need to change how you shoulder the rifle.
In a CQC environment, no wings means no knocking into corners, partners or anything else. You can slide around a corner easier with our elbows down, and it makes you an overall smaller target.

Woa, easy on the intimidation there, mr.QOR :p
I never said chicken wings were for CQB. That's pretty obvious, because like you said, "my elbow would explode".
For ranged shots, chicken wings are perfectly acceptable. Just not the 90 + degree kind. That's just overdoing it.
But yeah, let me know if I'm wrong. I'd like what someone with experience (actualy mil. exp.) has to say. |
