    Holding a VR gun is easier when the gun isn’t actually two separate devices you have to hold as if they were a single rigid structure. That’s why I taped my controllers to a stick.

      If you do, I could recommend a spicy but really unconventional twist on it. A lot of shitty movies like this have Wikipedia plot summaries that are lacking, inaccurate in small ways, etc. Watching it for the sake of reviewing and possibly revising that summary is a kind of perverse joy that feels impossible to sell to someone who’s never tried.

      For example, I rewrote the summary for Whiteout (2009 film), and it was way more fun than just watching it straight. Noticing every stupid fucking detail and how hard it was to actually turn the bullshit plot into a coherent summary was enriching in a way that’s hard to describe.

          It’s so much fun becoming an expert on random, shitty movies where the stakes are so low. Maybe you need to be a certain type; I don’t know.

        This reminds me of that weird MAGA couple who stood in their driveway brandishing their guns as a protest went by. I know little about guns but someone pointed out that he was holding it in the wrong direction such that hot shells would be ejected directly into his chest if he were to fire. I guess in addition to other things, Seagal is guilty of that one here too since he’s holding the gun both ways.

        Basically nobody would switch hands and aim with the other eye like that. You have a dominant hand and eye when shooting.

        He could be ambidextrous, I guess, but it’s still very unnatural to do this.

          I think switching sides like that is used when clearing corners in certain situations, I could be mistaken. But seagal here is definitely not holding that piece in any proper way.

    We once made a fake DVD-cover for a friend’s birthday where we all played different action movie stars. I was Steven Seagal.

    I’m not proud to say that I still have the body to be his double.

            The guy in the GIF, yes. Steven Seagal is his name, in case your were curious. He’s a rare case in the movie indistry in the sense that he is a famous movie star without actually being an actor.

    It took me FOREVER to figure out what’s wrong, guys. And I felt SO STUPID afterwards lol. Like JEEZ what kind of IDIOT doesn’t see what’s wrong right away. They probably go to the comments to see if someone will tell them. LAWL. Oh man. Yeah.

    Well anyway. Guess I’ll leave now. BYE!!

    Spoiler

    Ok fine. All I can see is the butt of the gun isn’t being braced by his shoulder, so when he shoots it the recoil is going to make it fly backwards and out of his hands. That’s all I’ve got. Idk. Dude’s ambidextrous otherwise.

      You’d be surprised how little recoil there really is with 5.56. It’s a bigger priority to get solid cheek weld and keeping the head upright which often means that most of the stock is not actually in contact with the shoulder, just the corner.

      Some setups will even just have a pad on the buffer tube, or they’ll use a brace that isn’t meant to be shouldered.

      The actor in question likes the smell of his own farts so much that he started to believe he really was the bad ass he acted in his movies. But he’s a joke, really. And lazy. This scene in particular demonstrates this. It isn’t so much that it isn’t braced, but how casually it is swapped in a supposed dangerous situation. You simply wouldn’t handle a real weapon that way. If he deliberately leaned into the lameness for the yucks that would be one thing. But, no. He’s serious. And that makes it really funny.

      He might be ambidextrous but his gun sure ain’t. Unless it’s one of these weird bullpups that eject cartridges downwards (it’s not) in one of these positions casings will impact his face or arm
