    Is that Musk’s first time holding a gun? What a bunch of bizarre decisions. Bipod and monopod down. No sights. Hip firing a sniper rifle. Wrist angle is really bad for a .50.

    Dude is such a moron.

      The Barrett isn’t really meant to be a serious gun for consumers. It’s a gun you rent while closing your eyes to swipe your credit card, then do stupid shit like hip firing or dual wielding.

        It’s like one of those crazy expensive ultralight racing bikes: it makes a difference for pros and a few very good amateurs, but the vast majority of people who own one have it purely as a status symbol.

        Right? So damn weird. Could he just not hold the weight of the gun in the correct posture?

        This just looks stupid. But even still, his simps cheer.

      IIRC he did it because someone said on Twitter that hip firing a Barrett doesn’t make sense, and Musk went so-true “Oh yeah, but what if you’re hecking epic like me tho?”.

      Still makes no sense, of course.
