Anyone else grip their AR like this?

[Fordtough25]

True, his holster is on the wrong side!

Who needs to aim when you're just greasing a mob of smelly hippies.

 

[gunowner930]

Yep, that's how I do it. And I can get 1/2 inch groups at 500 meters in that stance.

 

[btgarner0]

I don't think that stance nor the grip would be anything less than spray and pray. The pistol holster and position even for a cross draw is anything less than a mall cop. Great old add, but not to be taken as a training aid.

 

[Yeah]

That guy has nothing on this guy:

Not just one handed, not just with a bipod, not just while wearing sunglasses, but all of that all at the same time.

 

[Yeah]

And that guy has nothing on this guy:

And people think Chris Costa is operator because he rolls upside down while shooting...

Note his hat lying next to him. You wouldn't want to dirty your hat while chin shooting your AR one handed.

Yep the Ray Ban"s and that oh so cool haircut do it for me! Not enough O's in smooth for this guy.

Is that the T-1000?

 

[victor 1971]

oh yeah, all the time, when I'm showing someone how NOT to hold a rifle.

The guy above reminds me of Curly Howard.

Cross draw was popular decades ago for coppers. In fact in cities such as Chicago, cops would have the issue pistol on one side and their own PODA pistol in cross draw on the other side.

I believe that is an old ad of Bobby McDonald who took "old #4" AR-15 around the world in the late '50s-60s to demonstrate the newfangled AR-15.

I believe he is demonstrating the light recoil. My drill sergeant fired one in the same way as well as putting the buttstock against his crotch and firing one. Trying to remove the fear some have of shooting a rifle.

Mine did the same.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Yes, Bobby would do all kinds of goofy demonstrations. One handed over his head, off his chin (and sensitive areas), etc.

For further reading on the early days of Armalite and Fairchild, I would recommend Dr. Ezell's book:

And when he picked up the 45-70 next.......well the rest is history.

I really wish the Gunny would take a Dixie Chopper to his eyebrows.. they are totally unsat!

 

[chraland51]

I really like the pool playing comment. Or, maybe the policeman is wanting a waitress to put some donuts on his barrel.

Were Curly Joe, Moe and Shemp brothers in real life?

FWIW, last night (Monday), PBS had a documentary called "Soundtrack For A Revolution" as part of the "American Experience" series. There was a scene where police were shown holding their weapons in such a manner.
