What we're focusing on here is what I'm referring to as "flip". This is not to be confused with muzzle rise and a tipping from the stock/shoulder, but rather how the gun is allowed to "rotate upwards" in the shooter's hands.

UPDATE: Those downvoting. Why? Throw it in the comments, at least give us something to work with :) Since I posted this on Reddit, I know there are people seeing this who may not be familiar with what we like to cover on this channel. Quick Part 2, I forgot to say something! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we7gt7okG_o UPDATE: For those who may be wondering what the heck I mean by "realism", check out the following playlist. It includes all of the Deep Dive series plus a couple others :) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdn_Tks_N9LX1Ntr9ogv73Q68wRMlfw54 "Realism" is admittedly a huge blanket term that can mean a lot of things to different people. And it often heavily depends on context as well. For example: Is EFT realistic in terms of how weapons function? Yes. Is EFT realistic from an armorer's perspective? Maybe not, something like World of Guns may be more fitting there. Etc etc Add in the "deterministic" nature of computing and abstractions are pretty much mandatory. I'd love to give it a "full" treatment to kick off a wider discussion at some point... Like touching up paint in a home, the main question there may be, where to stop? Because there are simply SO MANY elements that dovetail into and segue into each other, it's practically "never ending".
