LibertyCap89 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) Is there really any benefit holding a pistol at a retarded angle? I would like real soldiers to put this to the test because it's quite a retarded technique... It's sort of halfway between gangster braap braapp type aiming and normal aiming. I would like to see the story behind him learning to hold a gun like a twat. Edited December 31, 2010 by LibertyCap89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almsivi Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Probably to make Sam look more cooler than he already is I dunno really, don't really care that much about it. But holding a gun sideways like that in reality would make it harder to hit your target I think, that's why I think holding a gun the "gangster" way looks real silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using that angle not only pumps his adrenaline but it is also a very important technique in gunplay (thats moving while shooting acrobatically).

W41T3R Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Sam uses 'Krav Maga'. In Krav Maga, the key is to inflict as much damage as possible, in the shortest amount of time. Holding a gun sideways increases movement speed in turning and aiming. Simply put, Sam. Will. Kill. You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantViper Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 It's apparently an actual technique ... so, that's why. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_Axis_Relock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygammer13 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The technique isn't actually called Krav Maga; that's his hand to hand fighting style... I forget what it's actually called; it's on the Splinter Cell Wikipedia page though. It's to help you, as someone else already said, to shoot while aiming and you can ever so slightly adjust it quickly to aim at targets that are at long, medium, and short distances. It's basicly so he can snipe with a pistol at long range, and also quickly move to melee if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zIII JOKER IIIz Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 He holds it like a spaz in the CE edition's figurine, looks weird, and the gun is a fauna green.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutalsleeper Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 He holds it like a spaz in the CE edition's figurine, looks weird, and the gun is a fauna green.... I think the guns is meant to be gold tinted, just like the gun Victor (I think that's his name) gives you when you meet. Ps Why does Sam Fisher look completely different on the figurine than to the way he does in game? The only guess i can make is that the design of Sam changed way after the figurine went into production... either that or it's a really crappy model.

Dudeguy12zxq Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Holding his gun that way also makes it harder for his enemies to disarm him. They cant anyway but still. Making it realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio198750 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 This shooting system is called Center Axis Relock (CAR) and it was invented by Paul Castle! It's used in Close Quarters Combat, and there are 4 different positions: High, Combat High, Extended, and Apogee! Here's some more info about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_Axis_Relock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadwgawn Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I shoot like this. Really good for panning and taking out targets all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
