Gangsta Style	comment	Turning a weapon, frequently a pistol, so its grip is horizontal rather than vertical. Showy, flashy, and generally useless as a marksmanship technique. Normally, recoil lifts the barrel against gravity. When firing in this manner recoil pulls the gun sideways instead and tends to turn the shooter around in a circle. Additionally, it makes the sights much less useful. Worse, if the pistol is turned in this manner, its ejection port faces up, and the extractor isn't designed to work directly against gravity.note If you're holding it with your right hand, that is. Gangsta Style with the left hand will have the ejection port facing the ground Sideways recoil and improper extraction combined may make an ejected shell fly out at the wrong angle and hit you in the face, and also increases the chance (especially if you're wearing loose clothing) of getting a shell ejected into your clothes, which is actually not an unheard-of occurrence when firing normally. Bear in mind that, depending on the ammunition and load, the shell can be hot enough to cause small burns on contact with the skin. Spent cartridges are also very likely to not be thrown clear, or even fall back into the port, either of which will jam the gun. All of which may be of some concern to a person who is in the middle of a gunfight. Visually, it emphasizes the fist of the gunner. In other words, Rule of Cool wins in fiction. Most probably, the reason why this technique came about is for use in robbing stores. When holding a gun correctly, it is nearly impossible to keep the gun pointed at the clerk should they duck behind the counter without re-positioning your entire body. When holding the gun sideways, however, it is much easier to quickly aim downwards at a ducking clerk. As store robberies are generally carried out at close range, and the gun is more a tool to intimidate the clerk than anything, the loss of accuracy is generally considered an acceptable trade-off in order to keep the target under the gun at all times. There also seems to be a persistent myth that doing this somehow increases the lethality of the pistol, which makes no sense for the following reasons: 1) How the heck would simply rotating the gun affect the inner working of the gun in such a drastic manner? 2) Even if it was the case, wouldn't guns therefore be designed to be held and professional soldiers trained to hold their guns in such a way? The technique has sometimes been used with specific guns for practical reasons. For example, it saw much popularity in 1920s China in conjunction with the Mauser C96, where the technique negated the pistol's awkward upwards ejection, and allowed automatic variants to more effectively sweep rooms. Wheellock pistols were routinely held this way to reduce the chance of a misfire. It is the safest method of firing the AK and derivatives when lying prone — due to its awkwardly large magazine, holding the weapon vertically elevates the angle of the barrel upward by a good 20 degrees, which means you have to lift your head well off the ground to look down the sights, presenting a large target for any hostiles and thus defeating one of the points of firing from a prone position. Additionally, it is utilized when you need to shoot around a ballistic shield during a close-quarters forced entry operation. Combine this one with Guns Akimbo, and you have something spectacular, but God help us all if it goes too far... More Dakka may be employed in an attempt to counter accuracy issues. To slice the Willing Suspension of Disbelief into little bits, have someone pull Offhand Backshots this way... and hit. Without suffering from a sprain and/or dislocated joint after this. A way to make Improbable Use of a Weapon. See also Reverse Grip, for edged weapons. This trope, along with various other Hollywood gun styles such as Guns Akimbo, was examined by the MythBusters. They proved that both tropes are just as inefficient as you think. Despite the similar name, has no relation to and is not used in Gangnam Style. Compare with One-Handed Shotgun Pump, which is Rule of Cool similarly applied to shotguns.

Gangsta Style / int_12b12556	comment	In The Bourne Identity, Jason manages to disarm a mook by flipping the gun towards him (which would be a forward flip away from the mook), and then, without bothering to correct it, he sticks his pinky in the trigger guard and shoots the mook. He then comes under attack before he's able to correct the grip, and dual guns the other mook down.

They visited it again when testing how effective various firing stances are, with Adam remarking that he "always wanted to hold a gun like this!" It didn't hold up all that well, greatly reducing accuracy.

Gangsta Style / int_2a640f8c	comment	While giving a firearms training lesson, Gunsmith Cats' Rally Vincent gives a student who uses this style a thorough explanation as to why this (followed by Guns Akimbo) is so prominent in movies and television: "The shell casings flying past the firer's face are 'a cool image', but without the sights, you can't hit anything." She does demonstrate that Gangsta Style is good for hitting targets flying through the air, as the bulk of the gun doesn't obscure the firer's vision as it moves upward or downward, by plinking a thrown can like a sporting clay - but then goes on to say that it's still a pretty useless technique, as targets on the ground move sideways, not up and down. She also mentions that using the gun that way may be good for shooting around corners, but you need to look out for flying brass. She also gets chewed out by the owner of the firing range: he wanted idiots to line up and burn ammo with stupid shooting, and teaching them to shoot properly means they shoot less, and therefore buy less of his ammo.

Gangsta Style / int_2fee008d	comment	Played for laughs, surprisingly, in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, with Kamina pointing his pistol at a Beastman pilot in order to hijack a Gunmen of his own. Take note that he's holding the gun upside down AND pointed at himself. Luckily he never fired it. It was even funnier when before Simon assisted, he was trying to pry open the hatch doors with the same gun. AND of all the ways to use it, as a hammer, no less. The pistol promptly goes off and barely misses his groin. All of this is because Kamina didn't even know what a pistol was, but didn't want to ruin his image by admitting that when offered one for the upcoming battle. Played with in the Lagann-Hen movie with the Tengen Toppa Grapearl's fight with the Anti-Spiral. After a cool, SIDEWAYS establishing shot, we are treated to dakka, dakka, reaching More Dakka with a dual wield SMG and pistol loadout, before executing a sweet flip, sticking the landing in formation with the whole team's Tengen Toppa level mechs, with a badass pose, holding BOTH Gangsta Style, then unloading in one massive skirmish line.

Gangsta Style / int_59151283	comment	Metal Gear: Used by EVA in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater with her Mauser C96 (see below for the entry on that gun, under Real Life). The technique of turning a C96 sideways so the recoil guides your hand to the next target in a sweep is referred to as Bandit Shooting; Snake and Sigint have a discussion about using a Mauser this way. The fact that it's primarily a Chinese technique with that gun is one of the hints that she's not who she claims to be. In a small handful of cutscenes in Metal Gear Solid 4, Snake cants his M4 the full 90 degrees. However, on the one occasion he actually fires the weapon in this manner, he has legitimate reasons for doing so - primarily, it's to keep as much of his body behind cover as possible rather than presenting it for the numerous enemies he's exchanging bullets with to shoot him; a minute earlier he takes a shot with his right hand at the front of the rifle to stabilize it against the corner of the wall in question, using his left to actually fire. Also, towards the end of the game, a Navy man can be seen briefly with a canted weapon, to more easily clear the consoles and equipment on the bridge of the battleship he's fighting from. In the beginning of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the XOF operators hold their submachine guns like this. In this case, it is because they are all wearing breathing masks with large protruding filters, and they need to tilt their guns this way to line up the sights, because said filters make it difficult to hold the gun normally in front of them.

You even see CJ using it with Guns Akimbo - he even fires a pair of Sawed-Off Shotguns this way if you level your skill with that weapon up all the way. Note that all other weapons are held conventionally (well, as conventionally as possible, for the minigun). This is also the standard stance for Mafia, highway patrol, and SWAT teams – as an exception, standard police patrols hold their pistols with both hands.note A rather simple Game Mod allows all characters to do the same. Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V lets the player do this unintentionally when inside a vehicle. The franchise does this from time to time, but the two HD Universe games are the most promient example, since you normally don't aim this way.

Being a Humongous Mecha with computerized targeting systems, it's quite accurate, but there are still no advantages to shooting this way... other than the Rule of Cool, of course. In the video game Alliance Vs. ZAFT II, the rapid shooting is just one of many factors that makes the Noir a Game-Breaker banned from Tournament Play in Japan. Gundam Nadleeh from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 can wield Virtue's Shoulder Cannons like this. However, the only time it does that is as a singular stunt where it dual-wields said cannons and fires a single offhand shot from each, killing six opponents with a single attack. The season 2 finale has Lockon's Cherudim engaging Revive's Gadessa which destroys his beam pistol, blowing off the Cherudim's index and middle fingers. When Lockon finally corners his opponent, he pulls out his remaining pistol and fires it like this but upside-down, pulling the trigger with his ring finger.

Coyote actually holds his gun almost upside-down, and sure enough his recoil is much stronger and random than most of the other characters'. Con is closer to the traditional example; he's not actually holding his guns out in front of him, so much as he has one arm outstretched to the side and the other crossed over his front, so both guns are angled to the left. His case may be in part because Con is actually blind; the sights wouldn't do him any good anyway, and if he's turned to the side, that means one of his ears is turned towards his target for his super-hearing to help.

It serves no practical purpose and absolutely kills your long range accuracy (assuming you don't line the sights back up), but it does look cool.

Gangsta Style / int_9db1766a	comment	Dante in Devil May Cry fires his twin pistols this way when firing while sidestepping. In addition, in the third game, he often turns one pistol or the other sideways if firing at separate targets in his Gunslinger fighting style. Also, in cutscenes, or if using gunslinger mode to fire at a single target, Dante will hold both guns sideways and hold his arms across each other, left gun on the right side, right gun on the left side. First done in the series at the end of the first game, coupled with Dante's Catchphrase: "Jackpot!". Vergil - who usually doesn't use guns - does this when he and Dante momentarily team up to finish off Arkham in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening.

Gangsta Style / int_af5967ff	comment	Played straight in Unreal. Hitting the Automag's Secondary Fire turns it sideways and gives you a much higher rate of fire for some nasty DPS, but it's hideously inaccurate and isn't likely to hit anything outside of melee range. Very effective at dispatching a fast Personal Space Invader like a Skaarj warrior, or when you're being the invader to a strong but slow enemy's personal space, but otherwise it's highly situational. In the spin-off sequel Unreal Tournament, the secondary fire of the default Enforcer pistol does the exact same; the manual specifically calls it "gangsta style". Pick up a dropped Enforcer, and you can double the fun. Realistically (if anything in UT can be called realistic), and faithfully to the first game's usage, this does decrease your accuracy. The beloved Enforcer returned in Unreal Tournament III, and while there's no dedicated mode (secondary fire on this Enforcer is a faster three-round burst), keeping an opponent in the crosshair long enough will make your character automatically turn his gun(s) sideways. This is a cosmetic quirk that doesn't affect gameplay in any way.

Gangsta Style / int_c4a1d59e	comment	It's possible to fire some weapons (such as Mini Uzi) this way in the Wii version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The special sniper rifle from Modern Warfare 3's "Eye of the Storm" mission can be fired in this manner if the player switches to using the red dot sight on it. Said sight is mounted 45 degrees on the left side of the barrel, though, so the gun is tilted in the opposite direction you'd expect, and not to the full 90 degrees either. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), during night-time operations in both single and multi-player modes, the player will tilt his rifle 45 degrees instead of looking down the gun's optics. This is because the player is aiming instead with the mounted IR laser, as most optical attachments are not compatible with NVGs.

Gangsta Style / int_e5c5bc22	comment	GURPS addresses this in GURPS: Tactical Shooting under "Things not to do". Specifically, all attacks are treated as "Unsighted Shooting" with all the usual benefits and drawbacks thereof. However, the stance encourages limp-wristing (penalty to Guns) and, if used with an automatic, increases the likelihood that the weapon will malfunction.

Also, Omega in Mega Man Zero 3 shoots his pistol buster like this, which is odd considering that, since they went to the trouble of making a new sprite for it and that he's supposed to be in Zero's original body, why not give him an Arm Cannon?

Gangsta Style / int_f43b3a51	comment	Played with in an episode of Diagnosis: Murder. Dick Van Dyke's character Mark Sloan is at a gun range being shown how to use a pistol. He fires off a few rounds normally (with realistic loudness and recoil) and then asks the man who was showing him whether he could fire it sideways "like on TV", twisting it to the side to show him what he meant. While the instructor starts saying why it's a bad idea, Mark fires the gun anyway by accident and the recoil flings it out of his hand with great ease and force - which creates a big enough diversion for another character to sneak past.

Pick up a dropped Enforcer, and you can double the fun. Realistically (if anything in UT can be called realistic), and faithfully to the first game's usage, this does decrease your accuracy.

Notable in that he often uses two guns this way, with his arms crossed above the wrists. Imagine the potential for sprains and broken bones there... Even after dying and reanimated, he still does it—and capable of destroying enemies without even turning around to aim.
