Polaris: That's not the shoulder position I am talking about. With the hand on the trigger grouping and the weapon laying bottom up like that, That's very uncomfortable.

I meant centering the weapon over your shoulder, with the trigger grouping just a few inches past the front of your chest, and the buttstock would end 6 to 8 inches after that. The weapon would be in your "Fps" syle of vision range, but not really taking up the screen. You can still fight with ammuntion displays and health bar super meters right? This would roughly take up the same amount of screen.

And like you said, when you would press the "Readying" button, you would, if it was slung over your left shoulder, reach up with your right hand and place it around the weapons top and your hand into the firing position on the trigger group. Then reach with your right hand back and grab midway down the barrel houseing and in one move bring the weapon to your hip.

Also, for best firing preformance, you could "toss" the weapon in the direction you are facing, and jump to lay down behind it and fire the weapon off it's Bipod.

Another consideration is that if there are other Friendly units in action in the same area as you, If you layied down some fire with your recently "borrowed" Mg-42 or Mp-40, would you catch Friendly fire?

(It's like why alot of Americans in Vietnam in Line units didnt use distinctive Vietcong and NVA weapons, because their bark is very different from American weapons and would simply draw Fire on the Battlefield.

There are also accounts like this but on a lesser scale involving Mp-40s used by American and Allied Forces.)
