AK Style gives the best accuracy, but it only works in the Middle East and Africa.

My first thought, too. Where the hell would the brass go in that position?

That's funny, it seems to work alright on the east side of Cleveland too from what I hear on the local news...

Don't forget that proper receiving position is important too.

I'm a rifle marksmanship instructor as a hobby, and I was looking at each picture going "ok, good prone, left elbow under the rifle in each stance, offhand could use a little help..."

Then I got to the end and realized i got pwn3d. Bravo, sir!

This is awesome and very informative. I practiced a few of these positions at a High Power Rifle shoot not long ago. The AK47 was the best.

Thanks for sharing.

10/10 tier 87, at least.

Nope. I'm still a disgusting fatbody. The guy in the pics is a friend of mine. He's also a member here but I don't know if he's going to want to cop to it.

Your "friend" is wearing Ron Paul shoes. As if the rest of him wasn't shambolic enough, he's wearing fucking Ron Paul shoes.....

That prone is terrible. The standing only useful for long range competition.

It's possible. We might have had a couple beers.

I'm going to practice these for my next course.

Thanks for the info!

I laughed.

But the barricade position is fucked up.

There isn't an A2 in the pictures, unless you count the C7 upper as an A2, which it isn't.

OP, were you in 3/325th AIR?

I don't know about these, most of them are shooting into a cinder brick wall at very close range. Seems dangerous and irresponsible.

Not me in the pics.

The rifle is a Colt AR-15 A2. It has several A1 features and several A2 features. For example, A1 carry handle and no gate around mag release but the upper has a shell deflector and a weird, large, round FA. It has an A2 stock, PG, and hand guards and a 1:7 twist barrel.

With Blue Falcon you should just assume that yes, he is in fact drinking.

That's what it looked like to me, although I didn't zoom in on the pivot pin to check for a slot head. The upper is commonly referred to as a C7 upper, which is what the Canadians used on their service rifle of Stoner design, as did some of the Colt Commando carbines sold to foreign nations in small numbers, and also purchased outside the normal US procurement system by elements within the CT community.

Colt through a lot of different parts together on the Sporter II series, and that configuration is the first AR15 I ever used and fired as a kid in the late 1980's.

I asked about 3/325 AIR because of your screen name. 1/325 AIR was White Falcons, 2/325 AIR was Red Falcons, and 3/325 AIR was Blue Falcons when I was in the 82nd. It was a badge of shame because of the common soldier brevity code that "Blue Falcon" refers to, which you're probably quite familiar with.
