In fairness, you see that chick from South Korea?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago

I will never have that kind of swagger

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I definitely would not want to be the guy who tried to mug her.

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Remember that in modern countries she wouldn't be allowed to carry that

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd say that really depends on the country. Unless you don't consider Czechia or Switzerland modern.

[–] mondoman712@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You can get a permit to carry a gun in Switzerland if you actually have a good reason for it, like being a security guard. Otherwise you can transport it to your shooting range as long as it isn't loaded. So I wouldn't really say she could carry that in this context.

Also walking around with a gun is very frowned upon in Europe, even when there's a reason.

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That grip on that thing is crazy.

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It looks like they took a wooden block and CNC'd her hand shape into it and nothing else. I'd like to see it from the other side.

[–] theatomictruth@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Something like this

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

she looks like an arena shooter character.

i bet she can go partially invisible for 20 seconds with a cooldown of 7 and throws mad stun bombs

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm 3 points 3 months ago

I just permaban her

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I don't have the slightest idea what I am looking at other than a girl holding a gun in a way that looks painful

[–] Quereller@lemmy.one 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The rule is you have to hold it single handed. Then everything follows logic, you need to have the arm fully extended to be more stable. You need to keep your eye behind the iron sights. etc. Try it out yourself, extend your arm and see if you can find a more stable position.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Incredible. I just used my sons nerf toys, and there's just no way to do it to line everything up without leaning to get your head at the level with the pistol.

[–] Crowfiend@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The gun itself is the painful looking part. I've never seen a pistol that wraps around your thumb like that. Her stance seems perfect, give or take a little lean.

[–] Spuddlesv2@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Are you really critiquing the stance of an Olympic level athlete?

[–] Crowfiend@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, I'm critiquing the other poster that was critiquing her posture, which as I mentioned is exemplary.

Reading comprehension is hard, but it's never too late to learn.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

give or take a little lean

Critique is analysis.

[–] Crowfiend@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

OHHHHH GOODNESS HOW COULD I FORGET THAT LEANING 3 DEGREES IN A DIRECTION WOULD GET YOU DISQUALIFIED.

Tell me you're angry over innocuous details without telling me you're a nitpicky assinine idiot. Please, I'll wait.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 3 months ago

Meh, you critiqued, and said you didn't. Own it I guess.

And angry, no, not worth my time. Pedantic? Sure.

[–] cottonmon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Having used a similar gun, it's way more comfy than you think.

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Is this a Futurama reference?

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

To anyone who is curious, that little elephant plush is her daughter's who gave it to her mom for good luck...or the mom just really wanted it, I wasn't there
