Concerning your blog “Intro to forward grips”
I’m gonna have to side with your drill sergeant on this one. Maybe he never elaborated on why the magwell grip is the better choice for CQB, but maybe I can clear this up….by grabbing the magwell your hand is close enough that the bend of your arm allows for your elbow to rest tirelessly on your assault vest, chest, beer belly etc. Also your firing hand should also be pulled inside and rested on your belly. This allows you to support the pointing of your weapon all day without getting tired.(which happens often on reflexive fire ranges and in combat) It seems like you recall basic training vividly so you must remember the prone unsupported firing position on the qualification range, and the trick to it being that you keep your elbows as close in as possible to put the weight of the gun on your bones which don’t get tired as opposed to relying on your muscles which tire quickly. It’s the same principle here. Holding your arm out in that ridiculous looking pointing stance is going to tire you out much quicker (and get you laughed at by any nearby combat infantrymen). If recoil is such an issue with a 5.56 that you can’t make a quick and tight controlled pair you should probably switch to a .22 or hit the range a lot more which should also help you overcome the need to point to figure out where your gun is going to aim. But a little hint on that one too: just use your front sight post…super quick and surprisingly accurate at CQB distances. Also, I just can’t stress enough how ridiculous and POGish that extended arm looks.

Nice post. One thing, i’m running Win 7 with the Firefox 4 Beta browser and your columns are overlapping a little. Though you may want to fix it
