Oh, and by the way
Since you refer to this as the "scorpion" (which I have never heard of) or the "Haley/Costa" I will do the same just for ease of communication.
-What he's talking about is the absurdly forward, hand over the top of the forearm grip that MAGPUL promotes in their vids. As opposed to a modified fighters stance where you are not so much "punching" the rifle out, but firmly pulling the rifle to the rear.
The "Scorpion-Haley/Costa" works the best for me. It is great for quick target transition, and I get much more control overall...more control by leaps and bounds.
-Apparently, this grip does not work the best for you as you are consistently getting brass thrown into your face and arms. Why deal with pain and injuries if you don't have to, it's one thing to deal with the dings and scrapes of hard training, it's another to do so needlessly.
I would rather just suck it up and deal with the burns than change my "tacticool" way of holding the gun. Obviously, how I look to the public is of HUGE concern to me
-you can roll your eyes all you want, but it is obvious that A.) you are NOT sucking it up, but rather complaining to your "forum buddies" that you keep getting burned and you want the ouchies to stop or worse, B.) you WOULD rather be perceived as a hardcore tacti-guru and deal with unneeded injuries as opposed to finding a technique that works better for a left handed stance.
I'm also not understanding your comment about aggressive grips being "overdone". Can you explain this more? Do you not think they are needed?
What the Master Sergeant is saying is that the "MAGPUL" way of punching the gun out is used by everyone out there with $40 and a couple of hours to kill, and that while it may LOOK really cool and tactical, there are better techniques out there that allow you to handle the firearm in a safe, non-injurious (to yourself) way; giving you an equal amount of stability and muzzle control as a left handed shooter.
OMT,
there are better things to get ass burned about than having a F^&ING EXPERT trying to unscrew you.
I come in peace, I didn't bring artillery. But I am pleading with you with tears in my eyes: If you **** with me, I'll kill you all.
