The thing is, if you want to efficiently aim from the hip, the gun will be aiming to the right quite a bit. When you're holding it out at 12 o' clock your arms are not in a decent position to fight the recoil on a full auto. Your gun would kick up and to the side rather rapidly. However, when holding the gun in a 10-11 o' clock or 1-2 o' clock position (Depending on what arm you favor) your arms in a better position to fight off the recoil. When your aiming to the side a bit you can use more muscles efficiently, your triceps and biceps have more room to flex and extend at those positions, as well as your deltoid muscle. Those muscles are important to extending and flexing the arm, and work as antagonistically to recoil. Also, all of the synergist (Small muscles that assist the prime movers) muscles have more difficulty at a 12 o' clock position because of the assisting arm is extended, and the extended arm is forcing these muscles to stretch, and preventing further elasticity. (Elasticity of muscles is kinda like the shock in a car, and greatly assist in preventing the shaking from recoil.) Furthermore, the joints are forced to be extended to near their maximum extension. Hold a broom out at 12 o' clock, and look at your range of motion with your assisting arm. Then hold it at 10-11 or 1-2 o' clock (I don't know what hand you use) and see the range of motion with it. From the lack of motion, muscle support, and muscle control, while holding a gun at the 12 o clock, your accuracy would be worse then a blind fish (Fish can't see directly in front of them, and have horrible depth perception, not that it matters when your blind).
^not true^
READ ATTENTIVELY... my last post on this thread.
no matter what position you are standing, humans are always able to point the barrel towards 12 o lock,
for example this woman isnt even looking at the iron sight:
still she manage to point the pistol towards 12 o clock
same with rifles:
hes pointing the barrel a bit down but it still towards 12 o clock,
now back to that muscle theory,
if you say it its difficult to aim your barrel towards 12 o clock... than why is it easy to look at the iron sight with out any difficulties, the difference is that you hold your gun infront of your face instead of your chest,
see:
^he's not looking at the iron sight but still able to point the barrel towards 12 o clock^
the ET model's gun position isnt correct either read:
