Since it was Munday, I decided to do a small art reference project for myself. And then I decided to make it public with the following notes.
From Left to Right, Top to Bottom:
Don’t chicken wing your arms! Although it might be easier to hold the rifle, you will make yourself a bigger target.
Don’t close your one eye! You will lose your depth perception, which is crucial when you are on the move, or are trying to determine how far away your target is
Don’t keep your legs haphazardly strewn about. You need to make sure you’re balanced!
Bend your elbows downwards and towards the ground to make yourself a smaller target
Bend your knees to control the gun’s recoil + be ready to move.
Don’t put the stock above your shoulder
Both of the above reduce your control over the weapon and may result in a black eye, and the rifle flying backwards and out of your hands.
Bury the stock of the rifle into the meaty part of your shoulder
Lean into the gun to keep the gun under control when the recoil of the gun kicks the gun upwards or to the side
Bend your knees slightly to lean forward, as well as make yourself a smaller target
The soldier is relaxed and is most likely moving around.
His eyes are searching for possible threats
His hands are still on the rifle, even if he has a sling on
Possible threat has been detected
Entire body shifts towards threat direction
Eyes are focused on the possible target
Gun barrel is pointed in the target’s general direction, but not directly at the target.
Soldier fires off shots while screaming to the other people in his team
“CONTACT!” or “THREAT!”
