FM/BG-407.V1.02 - Choosing a shooting stance
Every shooting stance has advantages and disadvantages.
Standing
- most visible shooter target profile
- likely to clear ground-based obstacles with line of bore
- quickest to assume
- least stable, hardest to take long-range shots
Kneeling
- makes use of ground-based cover such as rocks and low structures
- reduces shooter target profile in the open
- quick to assume
- stable enough for extended-range shots
- versatile
Sitting
- low profile
- useful to clear obstacles low to the ground, such as grass, that otherwise hinder prone shooting
- low mobility, rendering reaction to fire delayed
- very stable
Prone
- lowest profile
- low mobility while still allowing lateral reactions to fire by combat rolling
- capable of shooting underneath obstacles, including cars by adjusting stance down or left / right
- most stable
