I have seen some pictures of PLA soldiers aiming their rifles with weights hanging off the end of the barrel. I wonder if this is a distance relative of that old practice.
- Terr_ 2y ago> aiming their rifles with weights hanging off the end of the barrel That sounds like it has a practical explanation: Strengthening certain muscle-groups so that the soldiers won't easily tire of handling their weapon. It might be even better if the rifle had a laser on it, so that the exercise involves not just lifting the barrel but also centering it onto a target. (However shooting live-rounds could metaphorically backfire, since users would be getting trained to expect the wrong recoil.)
