>>64220746That would be supine. Prone is the prototypical sniper pose.
This antique meme is relevant to the thread.

>>64220832Dude down low is like "if only you knew how bad things really are."
>>64224177I like how offended he looks
>>64220780>"Go Creedmoor on his ass, Tyler !"
>>64220699>>Name a cooler shooting position Lovers cradle. It is an old shooting position the British army used to use in the redcoat days. The front line man bends over. He pops his hips and gets that ass up. The rearward man places his stock betwixed the bent man's cheeks. Then he strokes it back and forth to work out any creases in the pants material and get a good seat. When he is satisfied he fires his gun then removes it from the front man's cheeks. They then switch positions and repeat.
>>64220699I bet that is a fucking nightmare on the neck jesus

>>64226111I actually prefer stock cradling when long-range sniping, seated, on a bench with a bipod or shooting bag. It's just so comfy and lets me get better micro-adjustments
>>64220817You can read about the actual match referenced between the Americans and the Irish here:https://researchpress.uk/marksmanship/creedmoor/dollymount-1875/
>>64226115he fires it with his teeth
>>64220849>2.02 MBhow?
>>64226041You just know.
>>64226041Primo snapper position.
>>64220842I got u senpai
>>64220699just like that, but point the gun in the other direction.
>>64227728I feel like this isn't materially different to the OP...
>>64225639if I were link I think I'd turn my head 90 degrees to my right and take a deep breath
>>64226687I wonder how big the targets were. Because 1000 yards with open sights in 1875 is impressive
>>64226687>1875>using Rigby muzzle-loadersWhy?Even if time wasn't of essence, having to change posture to reload seems like a problem.
>>64226041both men btw
>>64226111Reminds me of Aliens with the Mg34 mockup. Are there any commercially available...stands...manpods...wtf would you even call it.
>>64228725Conservatism, most likely. The Americans had already beaten them the year before, so it's not like they doubted that the breech loaders could do the job in some way. But you're talking about British Army types in Ireland in the late 19th century - basically posh versions of modern day Ulster Loyalists - so it's not surprising that they would ignore progress and basic logic just to stick with tradition.
>>64220832>>64224177
>>64229505I bet you could modify a monitor stand to work.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DR5hNKbEXgThere's also this dude that DIY'd an unpowered spring loaded exo suit for airsoft. The MG42 on his left arm isn't as heavy as the real thing, but is defiantly heavy enough to not be able to swing it around one handed like he is without any mechanical assistance.
>>64226041
>>64220790i always wonder what was the original picture.the body of the guy in the middle is painted, aswell as the jacket and pants of the shooter look like its painted at certain points
>>64226041>do you shoot standing, kneeling, prone, or gyatt?
>>64231441
>>64228725>Why?Even though breech-loaders existed at the time, they were still pretty new and there were a lot of people who looked down on them.You know picrel, probably the best gun book ever written? The author's father, William Greener, wrote a book simply called "The Gun". It's nowhere near as good as his son's work, but it is of historical interest because a bunch of the book is the author whining about how shitty breech-loaders of the era were.

>>64226058Sounds kinda gay
>>64229505This thing is pretty cool
