[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3323964, member: 26737"] Well, in keeping with the recent necroposting... That wasn't a terrible tactic back in the day. A friend of mine is an HK certified armorer and instructor on the MP5, and his primary instructor was in the SAS (this would've been in the mid-'80s). The way they taught him to shoot the MP5 was to square up against the target, not turn to the side, for two major reasons. The first was specific to SMGs (basically, it made them more controllable, especially when shooting one-handed, something a guy on an entry team might need to do), but the other is more universal--if you're squared up, your body armor can take the blows, but if you're turned sideways, you're exposing its weakness. Of course, most of us won't ever be in a gunfight, let alone wearing body armor, so from a practical standpoint, it doesn't really make much difference... [/QUOTE]
