Name a cooler shooting position

>>64220699 (OP)
Ah yes, the prior to sleep jerk off to phone porn position

Prone bone with ya m***

for me it's the "gigachad"

>>64220746
That would be supine. Prone is the prototypical sniper pose.

This antique meme is relevant to the thread.

Thank you for posting that anon, I had meant to save it from a previous thread but forgot to and Google was fucking useless.

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.

I bet that is a fucking nightmare on the neck jesus

I 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

>>64220817
You can read about the actual match referenced between the Americans and the Irish here:

Primo snapper position.

>>64220842
I got u senpai

>>64220699 (OP)
just like that, but point the gun in the other direction.

>>64227728
I feel like this isn't materially different to the OP...

>>64225639
if I were link I think I'd turn my head 90 degrees to my right and take a deep breath

>>64226687
I wonder how big the targets were. Because 1000 yards with open sights in 1875 is impressive

>>64226687

>using Rigby muzzle-loaders
Why?
Even if time wasn't of essence, having to change posture to reload seems like a problem.

>>64226041
both men btw

>>64226111
Reminds me of Aliens with the Mg34 mockup. Are there any commercially available...stands...manpods...wtf would you even call it.

>>64228725
Conservatism, 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.

I bet you could modify a monitor stand to work.

There'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.

>>64220790
i 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?

>>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.
