When firing any kind of sniper rifle-and especially a .50 cal one-its important to keep your body in line with the sniper rifle while in the prone position, i.e. laying down. Not! On an angle! A few reasons for this, as a sniper, while hidden away somewhere, you're making yourself a small target, if you have been comprimised that is, a bit embarrasing as a sniper if you have. But, if you are not a sniper and you happen to have a .50 cal sniper rifle, you still have to keep your body in line with the sniper rifle.

Not like this cabbage: Example, how NOT to shoot;

The guy "showing him how to shoot" doesn't know much about it neither.

Now who looks the more comfortable firing a .50 sniper rifle?

I had to show these two videos because that one with the idiot behind is so silly. How on earth those chaps have access to something that poweful is beyond me.
 
The main reason to have your body in line with the heavy sniper rifle is also to absorb the blow-back effectively and keep the rifle natural reactive upward movement to the absolute minimum to enhance first shot accuracy. Normally snipers are well concealed in ghillie and other attire to provide a counter-target

Yes, absolutely right.


Perfect example of how disciplined the US are...

Jesus, some lads and myself once managed to get a young, clueless lad a 'beasting' just for making a silly, childish comment about a dead body of an Afghan. Worst thing was is, we were here in the UK giving a speech on young ones that had just signed up about and what they will expect in the real world. Needless to say he was made to look such a fool and I'm glad to say, he never stayed in the armed forces for much longer.

As for those idiots above with toys that are too big for them...Not worth the time of day.
