So I beat Metal Gear Solid 3 again a little over a week ago and noticed something near the end.
There's a part where (minor spoilers for those of you who haven't played this game yet. If not, seriously, WTF is wrong with you?) Snake needs to use the SVD to shoot a block of C4 on a rail bridge to destroy it. His right eye has been damaged beyond use not long ago, so when he drops prone to get ready to take the shot, he shoulders the rifle to his right shoulder, but cranes his neck to look down the scope with his left eye.
I never noticed this in previous play-throughs, but I guess I'm even more of a gun nut now than I was then and notice these things more.
In the situation, do you think it would be more reasonable to shoulder and fire with his left side entirely? Or do you think he just fell back on instinct and training to shoulder with his right side, then half-way down to the ground think, "Aw ********, I don't have that eye anymore..." and use his left eye? Or possibly he wasn't confident on a clean trigger pull with his left hand and didn't want to risk a miss.
The shot in question isn't terribly far, but the target is fairly small, and there really is only time for a couple shots. The scene in question may be viewed here at 2:04.
Thoughts?
And yes, the topic is a pun on the soldiers in MGS games having a question mark pop up over their heads when they think they see something moving.

Das Rabble Rouser ArmasTermin Fresnel You shoulder a rifle based on eye preference over anything else. I've fired with my off-hand once or twice just to prove various points, and it's a bit more difficult, but not impossible. What IS impossible is crawling over the gun to use the wrong eye, especially with a scope. I've tried that, too. I tried it with my Mosin when I saw him do it. And you'd literally have to have your face behind the stock to look down the sights with the opposite eye. Just thought with the scope mounted higher, it would be possible if uncomfortable. xd I just pictured someone putting their face behind the stock and firing.
