The side grip is a technique for shooting a handgun in which the weapon is rotated about ninety degrees and held horizontally instead of vertically (as is normally done). Shooting a gun in this way has no practical benefit under most circumstances and makes proper aiming very difficult, but the style has become somewhat popular in hip hop culture and among street criminals (who do not often use the gun sight)〔Palmer (2009).〕 due to its portrayal in American film and television since the early 1990s. ==History== Holding a weapon sideways has long been equated with risky and indiscriminate shooting. For instance, in the 1894 American novel ''John March, Southerner'', by George Washington Cable,〔 a character orates: The side grip found some use with early 20th century submachineguns, such as the Thompson M1 or the M3 "grease gun". Because their heavy recoil made them tend to climb when fired in full automatic mode, soldiers would hold them sideways so that the bullets would spread in a horizontal rather than vertical arc, hitting more targets.〔 Law enforcement officers will sometimes use the side grip to shoot while holding a riot shield or ballistic shield with their other hand. Because the shield limits the field of view, lifting and tilting the gun may make the sights more visible under these circumstances.〔 Some shooters with issues of ocular dominance will tilt the gun at a 15 to 45 degree angle in order to take advantage of their better eye; the gun held in the left hand and the sights aligned to the right eye, for example.〔Massad Ayoob ''The cross-dominant eyes: corrections are easy''. Guns Magazine. FindArticles.com. 23 Dec, 2009. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BQY/is_9_53/ai_n27320034/〕 Although holding a gun sideways makes it hard to control and aim, it does not, as is sometimes believed, make the weapon any more prone to jamming. Because self-loading weapons eject spent casings with a force that is much stronger than gravity, the casing will not normally remain stuck in the chamber even if it is ejected upwards.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Side grip」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
