Aim Ruger/Barrett on shoulder?

[RabidTreeFrog]

Simple idea, since they are both rifles, instead of having to hold them under you arm, why not position the gun on your shoulder, like you are aiming?

Discuss.

Nah, it might distract me :O! Anyways, i just like seeing it when i crouch.

[peemonkey]

...the same could be said for the Mp5, AK74, Steyr, Spas, M79, and M249, they're all fired from the shoulder....

I want to fire my chainsaw from my shoulder! >:0

I think m79 isbnt fired from the shoulder but anyways I have a suggestion to this suggestion.
Let the weapons be hold at the shoulder when the soldat stands. But when he moves it's held under his arm.

[peemonkey]

Well you're wrong. It has a stock, does it not?

I like this suggestion to my suggestion.

The LAW is not fired from your armpit either

[RabidTreeFrog]

but when you crouch you hold it on your shoulder.

Imagine carrying a LAW while running on your shoulder.

I just want the ruger/barrett to be held like they would IRL.

[peemonkey]

Well why not ALL the weapons?

[The_Ninja]

well in our soon to be released MGS mod, the stinger rocket launcher (relplaces LAW)  is fired from the shoulder, and the exhaust of the stinger hangs over your back...

thinked exectly the same when i readed peemonkey's first suggestion
i like the idea.

[The_Teacher]

nah, I like it the way it is^^
I'm horrible ain't I?

[Ivarska]

yes, what else?
joke well, that's a small detail, but it should be cool when you're f.ex. creeping anyway

The... Exhaust?

The smoke that comes out of the back of a rocket launcher when you fire it.

It would work well for the barret, because when you're holding the fire button (whilst waiting for the windup) the soldat could hold the barret properly, as if to line up the shot.

But that's only because the barret has a windup time.

[Unlucky XIII]

Well why not ALL the weapons?

Because I don't think it is possible for someone to fire a Desert Eagle or USSOCOM from their shoulder.
It isn't all that necessary to have this idea, and I do not really pay attention to where my gun is in comparison to my shoulder all that much.

I agree with Ben here, the Barret would look cool like that. But it isn't necessary (not that many ideas are these days, mind you).
