[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1646179, member: 1132"] With a weapon mounted light on a long gun, the barrel will block & shadow some portion of the beam. If it's mounted lower than the barrel, it will block the top part. You may not want to point the long gun directly at something until you're ready to fire. Using the edges of the beam for target discrimination or maneuvering is preferable to pointing the gun directly at stuff. If the light is on the bottom, you pretty much have to point it at something to get enough light on the subject. Same thing if it's at 3:00 or 9:00 and you're pieing corners. The higher you mount the light, the better you can ID and maneuver without needlessly aiming at things you don't want to shoot. Also, the further forward you grip the long gun with your support hand, the better you can "drive" the gun with more speed & control. That's why I like the light as high and far forward as I can get it. [/QUOTE]
