Grave110 hasn't hit the shit yet. I guarantee they'll move nice, and proper when the training begins...

Hahaha, the recoil of an ELECTRIC airsoft gun, as all airsoft PMCs TOTALLY need to have muscle-memory and be 'skilled operators' with our sewing-machine weaponry.

Well, it beats running around with a hicap, holding the gun on a 90, and bunny hopping !

Just because there's no recoil doesn't mean it's not a firearm where firearm handling applies. Squared up body is the key to balance, scanning, moving and shooting. Anyone with military training would fire a pellet gun the exact same as he/she would fire their service weapon. Shoot from the hip for all I care, Bob, I was only trying to help the guy out.

I've got military training and don't do that, neither do the half-a-dozen other guys that play around here, from most trades- I mean, I do occasionally, but I don't actually put so much effort into it I go out of my way to. I just don't put that much effort into it when I don't 100% need to. Also, military firearm handling also doesn't immediately apply to posing in photos, nor airsoft in general- I mean, safety rules do, but combat tactics? Airsofts is totally srs bznss.
Also, I wasn't bashing you, don't know where you go that idea- it was nothing but a comment. Are you military, in that case?

Let's not turn this into a flame fest.

But, Nat, dood. Train as you fight. That way, you can crap on the enemies as effortlessly as a dood with a really high fiber intake.

No, I do not have formal military training. So something like this would not apply to yourself, because you should already excellent muscle memory from hours and hours of training. But new guys do not, and may not even know how shit should be done. Nothing like seeing a new guy out at the range, never knowing how to handle a firearm and getting a scope in the face because of ignorance. To some, airsoft is a stepping stone before they get real firearms, so knowing this shit now will only benefit Grave or anyone passing by this post in the future. I'm not ragging on him, I'm pointing out some flaws in his form. I'm sure he wasn't out for the thousand yard stare pics, but I'm only trying to help.

But scopes in the face are fucking AWESOME.
My first time on an M203 with a 'don't worry, there's no kickback' to start me off was a great learning experience.

A lot of guys don't go straight from Airsoft into real-steel, but I digress. Arguing about it would be pointless.
