left-handed

Hello Bohemia

I hope to add left-hand gun switching in ARMA.

Because I'm left-handed in real life.

If I can, I believe that 10% of the people in the world are happy!

Personally     I never understood the need to shoot left handed.    If anything your left hand stabilizes the rifle better, and a trigger squeeze doesn't take the most fine motor skills.  

Though if you plan on making such a mod keep us posted I'm interested somewhat.

You could start researching the M240C

The M240C which is meant for being mounted to COAX in tanks etc does feed from the other side with the casings ejecting out the left.   

IT IS possible to switch out some parts and make it into a ground carried crew served as we did it in iraq a couple times.  But mainly because our arms room guy was special.

If you do some urban combat, you don't have the choice on where covers are, and which side of your body is the safest to shoot from.

This is why a good soldier must be able to shoot both right-handed and left-handed, as well as being able to quickly switch between postures.

For range shooting (where body cover is irrelevant), shooting left-handed has more to do with eyes than hands.

If you are left-eye dominant, it's easier to shoot left-handed, even when you are right-handed in other activities.

For gun handling there are some tricks, but for rifles you don't have much choice.
