So what you're saying is you're a huge proponent of the "reverse scorpion" grip. (term coined by larry vickers) Not a fan myself, unless you're a gamer
don't game, and WTH is a reverse scorpion?

I've never been a fan of those grip's, and I never will be. Those who complain or don't like the VFG's on actually M-4 length rails or use them as AFG's either were never taught how to correctly use it as it was intended to be used correctly, or are military hobbyist's who wanted what their armed forces were using, and just threw it on without a clue. I don't fault them for the latter as it's flattery in a way, but I do fault them for giving up so easily without learning to employ it correctly.
I place my VFG's about an inch and a half away from the gas block on a carbine length rail, due to the fact I have longer arms. But that's beside's the point, while employing the VFG, so many untrained either grasp it with a relaxed grip (which isn't a bad thing if speed of follow up shot's isn't of pertinence to the shooter), or they grasp it and pull it into their shoulder which actually enhances muzzle flip. What you're supposed to do is pull into your shoulder with the pistol grip, and push out on the VFG to act as a counter weight when firing, which reduce's muzzle flip. It's almost as fatiguing as those fad grips, but then again I still have situational awareness and can do instant and faster pivot turns to face new threats to either my left or right flanks, or a total 360. It also as I said before, reduces your silhouette so you can turn more easily in tight quarters such as CQB, and not exposing yourself more than usual.
As a side not, anyone with a brain can easily disarm those with those fad grips, unless they have one heck of a sling.
