Iraqi soldier shoots Russian pkm with zero recoil

with a proper technique and body mass you can probably shoulder/hip fire .50 cals as if they're securely mounted in an emplacement

Definitely depends on the rifle. Something with good recoil like the Barett, probably, at least a few rounds.

However a weapon like the Hecate, Or even worse, Zastava, are going to absolutely kill your shoulder if you shoot them standing for more than one round.

Seen people do standing/walking fire with a PTRS41 too. semi auto is definitely gonna be easier than the bolt guns you mentioned though.

There are photos of Russian troops carrying a 50 hmg and shooting it semi while walking while getting into another position.

Could be the Kord. It is notionally "man portable."

Or some mad lad could be lugging around a DShK or NSVT.

Interesting that he has basically adopted a ‘free rifle’/3P style target stance, with the elbow tucked against the hip and a flat palm

Who talks shit? Only bad thing about it is I’m an inflexible MF and it’s kinda uncomfortable

Oh, absolutely. Not bashing at all, and I like experimenting in ways like this to develop my shooting technique too. Just funny to see, to my eye at least!

Yep. I don't care if it looks goofy, if it works, it works.

I hadn't noticed the support arm. Thanks for pointing it out. I suppose solid cans are more useful for this kind of shooting than bagged belts.

He is using his support hand to transfer the recoil directly to his hips to better absorb the recoil.

Sigh The only fully-automatic longarm I've ever wsnted to own is a PKM, even if I had to keep it in a gun safe at the shooting range, or whatever other rules they want to impose. I just love 7.62x54mmR, and thought it would be an incredible round for an LMG.

This just makes it more awesome.
