I dont train shooting one handed with my body to the side. Because if return fire comes at me, getting hit straight on is better than getting hit from the side where it passes right through many organs than straight on. Standing sideways also limits me when I reload with one hand and would force me to look away when I do it.
@jdizzy01 There is no such thing as a "legitimate stance". There is a good way and there is a bad way to do something. Each gets the job done but which one does it better?
@jdizzy01 You're probably one of those people with really good muscle memory. I've used the "cup and saucer" before and I was fine with it in 15 yard speed shooting. I think his point is for the general population. Just one less thing to worry about is my guess.
@kyl64 dont know man, its how i was taught to shoot. first time i went to the range with the family G23 my dad (30 years in the army and counting) showed me the stance and let me at it, the rounds went where i put them, and i could keep a good volume of fire.
As you said, the stance they show works, but they were incorrect in saying cup and saucer isnt a proper position
You only need to stand sideways to you're target if you're not using body armor. This was heavily used in ww2 for the lack of Kevlar. In the modern squared stance, you square up parallel to you're enemy because you're front is where the armor is
9:34 Obviously doesn't matter in airsoft, but one-handed firing when standing sideways like this, although presenting a smaller target and maybe more accurate, makes almost ANY hit on you lethal; as it exposes your heart, your lungs, etc. Don't know if anyone's already brought this up, but thought I'd offer it up there. The other advice is indeed interesting. Although I do not quite like that thumb-over-bore concept, it might be worth a try. :) I'm a blade-stance fellow myself. Haha
I like a mixture of both stances. If I have to move around smaller spaces I like the square stance, as it allows me to turn around fast and easy. But for normal-longer engagements, I like the triangle, as it helps me aim. But when it comes to pistols I like the "CAR" and the triangle. Don't really know why I don't shoot airsoft guns like I shoot real guns though. Guess I go more for comfort than recoil control when it comes to airsoft.
@sashaxkunx I was wondering that myself. Hes shown his gun in a previous vid but its was a custom AEG. If its still that gun he has done a lot more moding to it.
Hate to say it, but the stance shown for coming around corners is just awful. Anyone who knows anything about "slicing the pie" will take corners much more effectively with the modified weaver stance than anyone using that CAR stance, especially with a real firearm as with a proper grip and a good stance you will be far more stabile and accurate.
you have no idea what youre talking about. if you ever have shot a gun, you havent in a while or you werent thinking of these ideas. id edit this video. there are some annoying problems.

I honestly don't see the point to the squared stance in airsoft, it seems odd, and if you learn to be ambidextrous you don't need to use the squared stance because as long as you stick to a wall you get to use your strong side without worrying about targets on your weak side, and the straight arm grip seems to be kind of useless unless you are trying to hit targets at a long distance, I always use the magwell or a vert grip to control my guns, and i seem to do fine, please show the cons of both
@misomalu When you are in the "squared" stance, then all the options available to you, are much easier.. IE.. Turning and running for cover, reloading your weapon, dropping to prone, etc... You're correct about sticking to a wall thing, but that's only if there are walls.
@vveedmann I must just be weird, I just realized my legs are naturally in squared stance, and my upper body is in bladed, the only problem with these stances is that airsoft guns dont have serious kick on them, which makes many of the reasons for changing to squared or straight arm moot, I also think they need to take the type of gun your using into account because I dont see reloading to be any different for me
When you stand face onto you're target, you become a bigger target. When you stand to the side, you are a lot thinner, therefore harder to hit from a target facing you, but people on the side have a nice view.
i go artillery style on my rifles, mainly because mine have recoil and scopes, one of my rifles ways 10 pounds to it is hard to aim it without the support.
@TzunSu It's usually a good introduction to know about the real deal. But yeah, if you handle your replica wrong, someone tells you "omg try to shoot real guns like that". If you handle it correctly, people say "omg what a wannabe, get a real gun". Double standards for the win.
at my shooting club i point my toes inwards slightly and even though it looks stupid its good because it adds stability, but in airsofting i dont really stand still much but when i do i use the blade stance
Okay, watching this video... I realized I was beginning to get irritated. You constantly state that you aren't trying to tell us what to do/not to do, but during demonstrations, you keep saying cons for one, and pros for the other. To be informational, you have to mention pros for both.
Also, in the Marines we used the "squared" stance, and we also make ourselves a smaller target, by crouching and staying low. In any stance, you can move easily with just pivoting your feet, it's wat we r taught
@vveedmann Yeah same here In the Army we use the squared and tuck our elbows in making a tight silhouette and also god forbid your hit atleast now your plate is facing the enemy and not the side of your ribs which are unprotected. Also your whole body obsorbes the recoil. The "bladed stance" is bad for recoil because every shot your weapon will fire up and to the right where as the squared it goes straight back and stays on target much better. I mean this is airsoft so there is not much recoil
@n2bracing2 I believe the only people I have seen using the "bladed" stance, would be SWAT and untrained people, who like to hip fire, or just don't look down their sites much. As for airsoft, you always have some of those kids that like to pull back on their trigger, anticipating recoil... Or imitating recoil... So I guess "squared" would be best for youngsters ;)
@vveedmann its a really shame when peoples mental capacity only allows them to come up with what i can only describe as a primary school come back which also proves you are not a marine !
@Domothy100 It;s okay that you're just flat out retarded. I don't need to prove to you, that I'm a Marine. Because I know on all my utilities, they all say "MARINES" and everything else, states that I am a United States Marine. Seriously, if all you can do is start mini fights over the internet to make yourself feel better, then maybe you should think about joining the military yourself. It will make you a better person, I promise!
Someone's a dumbass? I never knew the military was here, to teach us to spell.... I mean, I have gone through the bootcamp, and all the training necessary to become a Marine, but... I really don't recall them ever worrying about my grammar. Not too mention, my grammar isn't bad. So, understand our country, before making yourself look like a total dumbass, for the world to see :)
@vveedmann Regardless, there are cons to that stance. The newer stance needs to be taught and turned into a habit because in stressful settings people will naturally resume the bladed stance. Which again, has more cons than pros when compared to the squared stance. But the fact that there is less surface area for the enemy to strike really adds a massive pro to the bladed stance
@vveedmann he also called the Cup and saucer stance wrong. which is a fine pistol stance, i shoot big bore pistols with it and have never had a problem
@jdizzy01 Yes big pistols at the range maybe but for the pistol that is meant for protect and in combat, it is a poor grip and you can't be effective with it. You get poor recoil control.
@Excalibur01 not from my experience, ive shot glock .40s and .357 (which are sizes used by LE) and ive gotten effective groupings on targets in the head and center mass.
properly done there is little muzzle rise, the bottom hand has tension going towards the shooter and the front hand has tension forward
there are few WRONG ways to shoot a gun, the method they showed is fine but so is cup and saucer
@jdizzy01 I have never seen an LE department that promotes the cup nowadays. They trained with the thumbs forward, which is highly more effective. The weak hand ends up providing no support shot to shot, making it more difficult to recover sight alignment for succeeding shots. Also, this grip will increase the perception of recoil because the gun will vigorously recoil away from the support of the strong hand, making it objectionable to handle.
@Excalibur01 im not arguing the stance of law enforcement officer, i was simply stating the C&S works on smaller calibers too. in the end its a matter of preference, i was trained by a military officer in pistol shooting and was taught cup and saucer. it works for me and in the end, thats what matters. both stances are acceptable
@jdizzy01 Nothing against you either. I had a few buddies who are Marines and they taught me how they shoot pistols and they now all use Thumbs forward grip. The cup and saucer might have been common practice but it is considered "outdated" by a lot of people. The current generation of LE and military do not use that stance
@Excalibur01 all good. I try thumbs forward and it feels... awkward. the only time ive done it was when we threw an extended mag in our G23, really had no choice then lmao
@jdizzy01 I thought so at first, but my accuracy improved a lot better since then because of it. One of my buddies who became a local cop told me his department just started teaching them to shoot thumbs forward. You just get a more complete grip on the gun.
From what I learned from a former Marine is that the bladed stance is called the dynamic stance, and the squared stance is a static stance.
In the bladed stance, you can turn 180 quick and simple just by sholdering the rifle on your weak side. Then turn your body by just pivoting both of you feet, and you are in the correct stance but facing your back.
In the squared stance, you can't do that without completely lifting up both of your feet.
My stance choice? whatever the situation calls for.
I dont know about anyone else, but while aiming in the bladed position stance, i can very easily cover 350 degrees, without ever moving feet, only pivoting them.
in the danish army, soldier are told to use the squared stance because the armour in the fragmentation vest, is stronger in the front and back than in the sides
@redwolfairsoft , i have been looking forward to a new tactical episode but this one was...eh... i mean the editing is GREAT and the video is really well put-together but do i really need to know 11 things about shooting stances in airsoft? the last part was cool
Most of this isn't at all relevant (like the probability of a jam (you would go behind cover if you experience a jam)) unless you play fast paced CQB or speedball or bull shit like that.
Dont get me wrong,,, this is very helpful etc... Thankyou for doing it,,
But as for the stance bit,, (as far as airsoft is concerned) Jams arent going to get fixed like that or by any other mean... So that should not really hinder the decision,, but as for the rest of it.. completely agree
@flum91 In my country it is a Class G firearm and until a few years ago you would need a background check to possess one. Now we have to paint them. I'd prefer the background check.
@bf2lover42 Your right about the stances bit. But were I come from there classified as Replicas that look so real that they can't be distinguished from real firearms. But the reason for my irritation is that me as a millitary man, i always hear that they are talked about like they are real firearms, but there NOT! So I hope that i explained my reaction enough.
@flum91 Ours look real too, as realistic as yours - they just need krylon. That doesn't mean they are not replicas. A class G firearm is usually a replica that is able to shoot 6mm plastic BBs at a energy lower than 1,3 joule. Anything above and it becomes a class A firearm, as if you had an illegal war-caliber gun.
(recently applied for the Air Force, but still not allowed to take the paint off - go figure. During training we will use paintball instead of AS replicas of our issued rifles)
@flum91 Also, he is explaining the stances based on real facts, that happen to be related to... firearms. I'm sorry he hurt your feelings, but even if it is a replica it is a "placeholder" for a real firearm in this video. Like those blue guns, or those plastic training bullets.
@AwesomeSauce64@redwolfairsoft Agreed. "Redwolf Tactical is a miniseries produced by Redwolf Airsoft. The purpose of this series is not to to teach you hard facts, but instead to shed light on a few different ideas, concepts, and factors that are worth thinking about. We do not insist on any one way of doing things, only that you keep your mind open to any and all other things." While Arclight says that, there is a girl with a gun to her head. WTF are you telling us, Redwolf?
what about pistol flashlight stance? Most people like me tend to use the weaver and square stance even when holding a flashlight stance but the recoil/kick tend to drift apart, you cant just aim down your shoulders just like you did because your weak hand holding the flashlight cant reach that far, i know im probably getting replies "just use a weapon light" but what if you cannot afford them or using a non under barrel rail sidearm such as the 1911 or the sig pistols?
Whats really funny is before i even got my first airsoft gun, i watched a lot of videos on the P90 and that has been my stance for every gun i have used.
the final stance isn't that good in real world conflicts you have body armor and the sides have the least amount of body armor ... but this is air soft so it doesn't even matter hahaha.
three comments and one question firtst question is that you birth name arclight? now comments first off a strait arm blocks your sight of vew and it can be broken from the side easyer next with a square stance you can be trippep alot easer finally also with a square stance if someone was gana come up from behind you they coul pull you down easyer that the bladed stance i should now all this becuse my father is a us marine
Thanks for the info. I personally hate the new magpul dynamics. Grabbing the rifle by the front of the hand gaurd is bull. But like you said no stance is right or wrong.
the bottom grip was from the old police revolver days of the post ww1/ww2 era before the 1911/semi-autos became popular with more than just officers. Some of the real-steal weapons require you to hold the weapons the way you say because of the way the weapon cycles, mostly with polymer type pistols like the Clock and Springfield XD.
its one thing to keep your arm straight but if you lock your arm with a real gun your gonna fuck ur shit up

Arclight, what may be the name of the sight you have on your AR?
disturbed465 7 months ago
From what I learned from a former Marine is that the bladed stance is called the dynamic stance, and the squared stance is a static stance.
In the bladed stance, you can turn 180 quick and simple just by sholdering the rifle on your weak side. Then turn your body by just pivoting both of you feet, and you are in the correct stance but facing your back.
In the squared stance, you can't do that without completely lifting up both of your feet.
My stance choice? whatever the situation calls for.

I dont know about anyone else, but while aiming in the bladed position stance, i can very easily cover 350 degrees, without ever moving feet, only pivoting them.

in the danish army, soldier are told to use the squared stance because the armour in the fragmentation vest, is stronger in the front and back than in the sides

Most of this isn't at all relevant (like the probability of a jam (you would go behind cover if you experience a jam)) unless you play fast paced CQB or speedball or bull shit like that.

Dont get me wrong,,, this is very helpful etc... Thankyou for doing it,,
But as for the stance bit,, (as far as airsoft is concerned) Jams arent going to get fixed like that or by any other mean... So that should not really hinder the decision,, but as for the rest of it.. completely agree

@flum91 In my country it is a Class G firearm and until a few years ago you would need a background check to possess one. Now we have to paint them. I'd prefer the background check.
bf2lover42 7 months ago
@bf2lover42 Your right about the stances bit. But were I come from there classified as Replicas that look so real that they can't be distinguished from real firearms. But the reason for my irritation is that me as a millitary man, i always hear that they are talked about like they are real firearms, but there NOT! So I hope that i explained my reaction enough.
And for the record,
I also play airsoft ones in a while ;)
flum91 7 months ago
@flum91 Ours look real too, as realistic as yours - they just need krylon. That doesn't mean they are not replicas. A class G firearm is usually a replica that is able to shoot 6mm plastic BBs at a energy lower than 1,3 joule. Anything above and it becomes a class A firearm, as if you had an illegal war-caliber gun.
(recently applied for the Air Force, but still not allowed to take the paint off - go figure. During training we will use paintball instead of AS replicas of our issued rifles)
bf2lover42 7 months ago
@flum91 Also, he is explaining the stances based on real facts, that happen to be related to... firearms. I'm sorry he hurt your feelings, but even if it is a replica it is a "placeholder" for a real firearm in this video. Like those blue guns, or those plastic training bullets.

@AwesomeSauce64 @redwolfairsoft Agreed. "Redwolf Tactical is a miniseries produced by Redwolf Airsoft. The purpose of this series is not to to teach you hard facts, but instead to shed light on a few different ideas, concepts, and factors that are worth thinking about. We do not insist on any one way of doing things, only that you keep your mind open to any and all other things." While Arclight says that, there is a girl with a gun to her head. WTF are you telling us, Redwolf?

what about pistol flashlight stance? Most people like me tend to use the weaver and square stance even when holding a flashlight stance but the recoil/kick tend to drift apart, you cant just aim down your shoulders just like you did because your weak hand holding the flashlight cant reach that far, i know im probably getting replies "just use a weapon light" but what if you cannot afford them or using a non under barrel rail sidearm such as the 1911 or the sig pistols?

Also, with that one handed Sideways Stance, you have a smaller silhouette so It's harder for other Airsofters to hit you.

the bottom grip was from the old police revolver days of the post ww1/ww2 era before the 1911/semi-autos became popular with more than just officers. Some of the real-steal weapons require you to hold the weapons the way you say because of the way the weapon cycles, mostly with polymer type pistols like the Clock and Springfield XD.
