Why Marines Holds Shotguns Upside Down #shorts

The first scene:
It’s not a Marine. It’s not a shotgun.
It’s Not What You Think! 😅

The breacher stands to the side because he's less likely to be shot if he's not in the doorway and he won't be in the way when #1 enters the room.
They hold the gun upside down because it gives more control when standing off to the side.

Yeah or ask your buddies to hold you upside down so you can fire like usual . Would be a weird sight but " it's not what you think"

25th Infantry Division is apparently now Marine Corps

What Is that mag fed straight bolt action shotgun? Never seen that one before

They stand to the side to be clear of the fatal funnel. Not debris

What shells do they use

Explains the afghan retreat…

no it’s to get out of the kill zone

Probably so they could pull the trigger with their index finger instead of blowing their thumb off, which could be the case since the thumb usually helps absorb a most of the recoil

So this is how you Americans open doors

All those Marines you see are Combat Engineers, ooh rah baby, I am too

Finally a good way to get Tom Cruise out of the closet in Stan room

It's cooler this way duh

Reason is so they don’t get burnt by the ejecting shell

25th Infantry Division patch on the Army soldier not a Marine that was my division

Notice the second to last clip hes holding the gun upright, the shell ejects in hie direction. Thats why you hold it upside down, so the shell wont fly towards you

Cause he comes from Chicago

who was recording me when i left my keys inside and had to get back in the house

Or maybe they don’t want to stand in front of the door

Standing off to the side likely has nothing to do with avoiding getting hit by shrapnel. If I had to guess, it's entirely so that the bad guy who's inside the room doesn't shoot through the door and hit you.

Cool!

They might not want to be hit by the ejecting shells

It's when they're on the side the shells eject, they turn it upside down so the shells go the other way…

Solider not a marine

“House-keeping!”

When Americans do it: wow amazing smart.
When Russians do it: garbage the gun will fly of like their tanks turret

It's to look cool

So no reason then?

Sounds like comedian Jackie Mason doing the narrating here.

Since when do we back kick a fire then stand in the fatal funnel as the team makes entry? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Breach second only to the first guy in 😂

because it's the marines they can't do anything right

I've seen a lot of these comments but I don't think anyone thought it was to take your body out of the line of fire after that first shot you should expect shots to come from the otherside idk about you but a 7.62 doesn't sound like a good time

A really big fucking hole coming right up

Completely Wrong

No

Completely Missed It

Knevere Knewe Dat!

I was the 999k person to like the vid

Because they eat crayons.

He’s holding his shotgun upside down because, he ate too many crayons

It's because it's the most comfortable way to hold and fire the gun from that position for that individual soldier. Everyone has different preferences, hand sizes, arm lengths, and body types. Because of that, the way we hold certain things, varies.

The only reason I ever breached with my M4 or MCS upside down was because the hinges were on the right side of the door in certain countries. It was so that we were not standing in front of the door that's going to get lit up as soon as you blew the first hinge. They don't expect you to be standing to the right of the door when the hinge is on the left. There's other reasons, but that's the only one we cared about. It was a dirty job, but it had to be done, and it had to be quickly with as little casualties as possible.

Bazooka is more like it!

Way to leave it to the people who actually know why to answer this question. Not
