...If you are firing a M9 Heat at a tank or into a window to take out a MG nest , then direct fire from the shoulder using the " peep-N-post" is what you do. If you are launching it as a mini-mortar ( anti-personel ) or launching hand grenades , smoke , or WP , you will be firing from the ground using the bubble sight or the sling marks. The shape of the ground is where you are , the other side usually didn't allow time outs to move to softer ground.
I've shot quite a few off from the ground , and I just restocked up from Sarco to try direct fire. I figure this will burn through the fins at a much higher rate than high angle fire. Any tips from you who have done this direct fire before ? Or just follow the manual , get your arms correct , get you thumb out of the way , and go for it ?
By the way , I've shot them off an 03A3 with a straight grip stock with good grain pattern and a repro boot. I pick up a $25 Garandicon stock , good sanded condition that had the sight holes drilled . I put the sight back on and added a new repro boot , so I'll be shooting that , too. I also have a good late M2 carbine stock and an early Plainfield with a comercial bbl that I'll be using also.
