Desert Tactical Arms

In 3-Gun competition I loved our AUGs—until the courses of fire were aimed (pun intended) to unseat AUGs from the top rungs by forcing weak-side positions. Of course that underscores how the weak-side is its Achilles heel in the "real world" (whatever that is). That utilitarian recognition prompted me to sell 'em off.

As best I can tell, the only "real world" situation where weak-side shooting actually matters is competition. This seems to be like speed reloading -- immensely valuable in matches, but rarely practiced on the battlefield.

In the multitude of combat videos I've watched on YouTube, there was only one instance of a soldier switching his carbine to the left shoulder for firing around the corner of a building. In all other instances, the troops continued to shoot around corners from the right shoulder even though it meant exposing more of their bodies.
