NO

I've seen this stupid move done everywhere and in a fight for my life and freedom I'd rather be able to aim where the enemies are and not look stupid shooting at walls.

Actually, this is where it came from. It was a technique developed in Arabic countries. Holding it sideways was actually an exceedingly effective common sense idea that, since we all know when you fire a gun, it recoils up. Well most of the things they shot at were moving or running, so they went "hey, why not hold the gun sideways so the gun just follows them?". Now instead of aiming vertical controlling recoil AND horizontal (to hit their running target) they just had to maintain it up and down and let the gun follow them on its own.

Unfortunately, some idiots thought it looked ballin. The same people also have some idea that "cool" factors into the trajectory of bullets... Wanted was a hilarious influence, i've seen people who thought it really worked... Again, the same people svcked so bad they failed pretty much everything, even recess...

I had a feeling it was something like that. And no, I'm not just tooting my own horn. I just figured that holding your gun sideways seems like the logical thing to do when performing things like drive-bys and stuff, where you end up firing in a horizontal line.

Still, I'd rather have my guy hold his sidearms upright as per normal. You know, so I can use the sights if I have to. :spotted owl:

That still only works on 50% of people that are running, because if a right handed person sees someone run rightward, then they either have to switch hands or shoot regularly. Also, you would still hold the gun normally if someone is running directly away from you.

You prompted me to read more on this so other uses are:

1) Targeting large groups of people indiscriminately.
2) Blocking less of a riot shield's view by holding the gun high and horizontal.
3) Preventing shells from hitting lefties in the face.

Those are other semi-logical reasons, it still makes you a bad shot, even with practice, plus you would need to create a specialized sight to get the first-bullet accuracy of a regular gun.

I voted No, Because I think it looks very stupid, and You would have probably horrible accuracy.

I don't really care. This adds nothing to the gameplay and waste the time of SD. Why would you do it?

why would you want to?

true but hopefully it doesn't affect the accuracy as it would if a person were to do that in real life

i actually know (brooklyn smarts)

Interesting, I learned something today.

its either the arabic story or first developed by african americans as shootiin horizontally during drive bys where the car is moving increase their accuracy and decrease recoil

What would be the benefit?




BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANANA

Can you see the hidden word? (Tip: It's in red) (Tip2: It's banana)

LOL


Interesting...you learn something new every day

The only use I could think of for it would be if you had dual machine pistols. So to target one person more effectively at long range you might be able to hold them at around 45 degrees to get the sights closer to each other. (I have no idea how much recoil a real machine pistol has though so you might end up just whacking the sights together) somewhat like http://i.ytimg.com/vi/z539V-AV5E8/0.jpg but with the pistols closer to each other

i think yes that should be able to toggle it because it adds more personality to a character and if you dont like it you can allways toggle it off

I agree with Tyler with the yes, cause it does add a cool twist to games. Main reason I say this is because after I tried Red Steel I was having so much fun shooting sideways style at people(even though accuracy wasnt all that great, still looked great ).

This isn't Compton.

i agree. but i would the feature its kind of cool and but it makes you look more stupid rather than bada**

Once again it's a pointless idea and would waste the Dev's time.

its not pointless its cool and its a change that represent the resistance's little to no training in weapons.

i think a guy from the resistance, after trying a couple of ways of holding his gun, will notice holding it sideways doesn't work.
they're resistance, they aren't stupid.

But they are gangsta, well at least some of them are. :wink_smile: Remember its not about effectiveness but about how cool you look while doing it.

I think during a civil war where people are fighting over what they need to live, i don't think people will care about whether shooting someone is cooler holding a gun normally or sideways. Normally is cooler anyway.

O RLY?? :spotted owl:

Even has bling.

which is mainly my reason for suggesting it.
There is that guy, then one during the airport thing introduction of SMART and then several times during the first trailer making some indications of sideways pistol holding, if only to seem intimidating.

Also, the original Ak-47 design's made it nearly impossible to fire it straight while laying down, so they had to hold it sideways. Also with a pistol if you hold it sideways you can blindfire without exposing your hands, but it makes your accuracy go down even more.

But no holding any gun sideways unless I can hold my pistols upside down.
