Sushi's Vacation Photos: Monrovia, Liberia

[Melensdad]

Sushi, hailing from Cook County, IL, the anti-gun capital of the midwest, was not really sure of the proper way to fire a weapon, so while he was on his last vacation he took these photos and asked for some commentary on the techniques, therefore I submit these for your consideration.

Images from the battle for Monrovia, Liberia, where use of iron sights
is known to be strictly prohibited. Also prohibited are aiming, assuming
a supported firing stance, and any common practice of marksmanship
whatsoever. Hip-Hop Rapper, Gangsta shooting stances are mandatory, the
"Glock Foh-Tay" hold being the most popular. lethality is achieved by
subjecting the target to a wide swathe of area fire, similar to un aimed
indirect artillery, or scaring the enemy away with gesturing and
aggressive hip-hop style dancing while firing. Points are awarded for
artistic effort, style, fearsome facial expression/vocalizations and
blue duct tape.

Note perfectly executed flamboyant sideways-rifle "Glock Foh-Tay"
running stance.

Amazing height and style on this one. Sure to impress the judges. And
he's keeping score, sort of... !

"Yo Yo YO "

The "bring your buddy along" firing stance

Firing from the hip while putting on the best "Game Face" and talking
trash - note the tactical use of camouflage pants!

The "Homeless street person" anti-aircraft firing position being
executed with great precision!

Here we have a classic! The "prone Warrior " firing position - too bad
the magazine spring has blown out from the bottom of his beautifully
blue-duct-tape-taped jungle magazine setup.

Here we have Liberian militia demonstrating the "Soul Train" method of
combat assault. "Red Pants" must be a Zouave.

The Nautical theme is ever popular, as seen by this militiaman (quite
possibly Naval Infantry) wearing the stylish Kapok life jacket. Won't
stop a bullet, but sure looks BOO-YAH!

And some more . . .


This pair is executing the difficult "Phat Bammer Swagger" shooting
stance. Note the deceptive use of pink clam diggers and brogues with no
socks while his partner sports a snappy complementary orange and blue
combo.

While this appears to be a well-rehearsed combat assault maneuver, this
militiaman is actually trying to keep birds from crapping on his car.
Note the feather duster in the left hand for effect.

This Militiaman executes the one handed high overhead blind shot. It is
often used to indicate that "Da Brizzles over there".

And last but not least, these two are showing the proper way to fire a
support weapon using the non-aiming duck-walk method, keeping at least five feet of linked ammo strung out from the weapon at any given time! Note the suitably awe-struck onlookers!

Way I'd figure it, "they be popin some caps at the po-po" --so he might want to keep his car out of that area.

I assume they don't adhere to the "one shot, one kill" mantra?
