Why do many rebel/militia groups live to carry their guns over their shoulders? Is it more comfortable or what?

what gun even is that?
there arent many with top mounted magazines and most of those are SMGs too
Bren, some L4 variant
It was common for krauts too
Probably because most of these guys were previously conscripts and were taught to carry weapons like that.
With the Germans and their machine-guns, that particular style of carry seems to have originated from the traditional "shoulder arms" command you find in most Western armies, but with the gun shifted upward and more onto the shoulder due to its weight.
It really is more comfortable, there is a pulley effect and doesnt put pressure on your shoulder and giving your arm something to hold on to relieves it

Truly a mystery. Join us next week as we analyze the mystery of why not everyone holds the steering wheel at 10 and 2 in light traffic

You're supposed to use your right foot to brake you subhuman.
If they told you to jump off a bridge would you?

If they told you not to jump off a bridge, would you jump off?

Why are you asking? Just test it for your self, you don't even have to go outside!
no one on k actually has guns
or lifts anything heavier than a burger.
a proper American burger weighs more than an AR-15.
Probably just cause they don’t have an nco telling them not to
Stress testing their free floated barrels.
Someone post the webm
More importantly, why do I never see anyone carrying an m16 with the handle?
This is classified information do NOT research
dude i swear i could fit like 2 rifles on each hand and run around like super soldier
For detachables fingers dont fit. Its way more comfy to hook your thumb in the carry handle with the rest of the hand on the delta ring instead of suitcase hold.
Soldiers used the handle all the time in Vietnam. I did too when the A2 was in service.
this fricking board lmao
You hav two be dense if you think OP is being genuine, or even being an actual being and not a bot.
It's so the guy behind you can instantly engage from a supported position making it easier to defend against an ambush
I'm a wildland firefighter and this is how I hike with a 30lb chainsaw.
If I had to cover a lot of ground with a machinegun in the same weight range and wasn't expecting contact that's exactly how I'd carry it.
>Why do [people] live to carry [weight] over their shoulders? Is it more comfortable or what?
are you homeschooled or something moron? never had a backpack? where do the straps go? where's an ideal place for putting weight in order to carry it?
short jungle manlets. if they slung it over their shoulder the barrel would drag in the dirt
