View Full Version : This is novel
I'm certainly not an expert when it comes to carbines, but this variant intrigues me to no end. What modifications are necessary to get my Bushmaster to work this way? Will this make it an NFA weapon? Will I need to have "bullets go this way" engraved on the lower?

This photo has been around since at least 2006. I know that someone on another forum back then claimed to have verified it with the Marble Falls TX P.D., but I don't think the photo was ever definitively proven to be true.
It sure is funny, though.
Okay, this is a trick right? You know, to see which you noticed first....the chick or the magazine. I'm married, so I'm keeping my mouth shut! :D
It's the SWAT equivalent of "reverse psychology."
Ever since that picture came out, I tried to get a magazine into my AR in that fashion. That thing just won't go! I have no idea how anybody got that thing in there, and when they did, I bet it was a biatch getting it back out. I supposed she chambered a round, I mean went through the act of chambering a round. She's got an empty, useless gun waiting for a gun fight.

Gasp ! a Bushhamster ! people will tell you that you don't have a tier 1 rifle :p
Sell that immediately and get a colt or noveske.:D

It's simply a training issue, Sam. Clearly, she was trained to operated and employ an AR15 differently than others on this board. ;)
Seriously though, it really is a training issue and she was very lucky.
Maybe that's the way they're told to stow their mags when the weapon is in the car, and she just forgot to flip it around?:confused:
I thought you were making fun of the CHICKEN WING!!!
I will never figure out why people do the chicken wing. It's not comfortable or natural at all with the AR carbean.

She is obviously using H&K mags.......
According to the larger image I received (which I can post if folks want), it was printed on the front page of the River Cities Daily Tribune, Volume 11 #218. I'd imagine someone local could check their archives and verify (or disprove) it with little trouble.
That picture generated multiple discussions full of retardery on another board last year...

I know of a "carbine instructor" who teaches the chicken wing with an AR. He teaches a lot of other interesting stuff as well, stuff "that works."
I think there are some old-school Gunsite alumni who still teach it.

It just seems so un-natural with the grip angle of the AR. Maybe on the M1 Garand it's the shit, but I can't grasp it on the AR.
Broads who've never had instruction seem to always hold the AR this way for some reason.

And many of the anti-gun crowd say, "It's the police's job to carry firearms and protect against crime."
LOL...how do you become a cop if you don't even know how to stick a mag in your weapon?

+ 1 on the chicken wing that was the first thing i noticed.its a great way to get your elbow shot off.but some just seem to think it is the right way for them to shoot.it feels retarded to me:D

I don't know why I found this so amusing, but I did.
I find that when I am shooting trap/skeet I tend to "chicken wing" it a little bit, but with the AR it is more natural to tuck the elbow near the rib cage, for me.

My search-fu is weak, I could only come up with archived pages from 2007.

The firing hand grip angle is completely different.

yelp!:D I had a Sgt at ft knox say that all the time,we were doing urban training nd a lot of the younger guys did the chicken wing around corners.the DS swore that he knew a guy in the sandbox that caught a round to the forearm,from you guessed it Chicken winging:eek: .now if that is true :confused: .but i could never do it like you said it is natural to tuck it down to your ribs.most of the guys that did it were use to shooting shotguns.some really had a problem with it

Getting your elbow blown off sounds painful as hell.
Cant even imagine taking a 7.62x39 to the funny bone...ouch!
FWIW, I've seen cops do some really strange stuff with guns in my time. Makes you not want to call 911, thats for sure
Many students find Simunition rounds applied to chicken wings very instructive.

If she had been using PMAGS that would have never happened! I am not going to say if I actually tested this of not.;)

Pain can leave a lasting impression. :p

I like to think of it as "a burst of instruction."
Pain is nature's teacher.
Pain is nature's teacher.My drill sgt would always punch anyone chicken winging right in the ribs or get you in the elbow it was funny as hell
It is interesting. Not to disparage the fairer sex, but the only times I've ever witnessed a magazine inserted backwards, it was a female involved. I saw it happen a couple of times in the military when I was acting as a range NCO.

Don't forget the "leaning waaaay back and thrusting the hips forward" part, too...

YES! A standard shooting pose when some white trash goofball wants to show off his nasty bruised up girlfriend on TOS! (hoping you'll be green with envy over his gross woman and his Olympic Arms plinker!)

I can't really comment on this because I personally jammed a 30-round magazine into my M-16A1 base first. It was during full-auto night firing (using clip-on bipods) and it occurred when I had a couple of Drill Sergeants and Drill Corporals yelling at me to get my rifle back in action.
It took all five of us to get that damn mag out too!! :D
