To match a scene in the movie where the car gets shot, then cut in half by an elevator:
Kind of useless, but the slow motion footage was cool. Slow motion footage is always cool though…
Interesting grip Tory has on the H&K UMP (see pic on left)… is that something people do? I’d hold a beer that way, but not a gun. *shrug*

I think that he was using that grip to brace against the plexiglass protection.
Yea upon watching it again, I can see you’re right. Thanks!
I’ll second what Bob wrote. From that screenshot it looks like he’s bracing against something and while it might not be a spot-on picture from a Jeff Cooper instruction manual, it’s still in the ballpark for such a situation.
I’ll come strolling along and give it a third. All in favor?
I recall learning a method similar in nature for use with the MP5 variants in a short weapons SMG/room clearing sort of exercise in The Corps in ’92 or so.
Tory had some nice groupings – anyone noticed? That is probably due to bracing….
Still those guys had some nice fun. How come Grant has a Tommy with open sights? No one had an .45 chambered AR for him?
I was thinking that too… thats kinda… old school…. =P
Ill 4th that, I have seen braced shooting in mulitple carbine courses I have taken.
Fifth: about the bracing, I will point out that I did not see him shoot that way in the video.
