the tactical use of a firearm must comply with other requirements of the readiness posture than in the pure sport of shooting. The practice brought forth on this in the past, different approaches. This article deals with the positions "Sul" and "Norte".
The tactical use of firearms subject to such tactics and even a continuous process of development. In which position should be held a weapon, if not just shot with her is a controversial issue and an important Element in the overall concept of a bridge-tactical needs shooting training. The way the readiness posture is determined in the tactical use of firearms by a number of mostly unknown factors. A compromise is therefore often unavoidable. If we consider that a "safe direction" does not exist, but rather a real 360-degree environment, muzzle discipline is a prime requirement. Finally, the risk of own team members to be avoided, by the so-called "sweeping", as the risk to bystanders standing around.
position Sul
position Sul was founded in 1997 by the American Shooting instructor Max Joseph developed. Joseph was at that time a commitment as a trainer for the Brazilian police. Hence the name Sul, which means in Portuguese "South".
The shooter holds the gun close to the upper body at the level of the solar plexus with the muzzle down - south - addressed. The muzzle pointing to the ground about 30 inches in front of the shooter, which per se can be regarded as safe for the procedure as part of a small group. The left hand is flat on the solar plexus and abdomen. The slide of the gun is on the knuckles of his left hand, which serve simultaneously as index points. The finger is long and touches the trigger not. Alternatively, the shooter presses his thumbs against each other. In a somewhat modified version of Sul is the left hand is not behind the weapon, but lies about it.
"Sul" enables a quick intake of the attack as well as a secure holster the weapon. Sul but offers insufficient opportunities for the reloading of the gun.
position Norte
Another option would be to keep the mouth in the opposite direction, namely upwards. According to the Portuguese name means Sul Norte this position, that is northward. Critics will sometimes drawn into the ridiculous and "Sabrina High-Ready" means. The actress Kate Jackson was shown with the series "Charlie's Angels" often on a movie poster with gun in position Norte, what these weapons attitude brought an unexpected and unwanted popularity. To take
position "Northbound", is the handgun out of the attack and returned to the firing upward. The two-handed grip weapons will remain there. The trigger finger should rest on the long gun. The gun is now at head height on the right or left of the head. The field of view is not so limited. A Variant can be one-handed running Norte. From the pure ready position will thus be a Nachladeposition. The weapon migrates directly into view of the shooter, allowing him continue to run surveillance. The U.S. shooting coach Ken Hack Thorn was the one who trained the first to see it through the trigger guard.
The biggest advantage of "Northward" is the production of a 360-degree security. Other advantages include that the weapon could be loaded in this position, she also serves in some ways is as head protection and the weapon in a good position to them for beating can use, should make the situation required. Unlike Sul, the grip on the weapon not be abandoned. An important point which is also still speaks for the use of "Northbound", is the body language. By keeping the gun at eye level, avoiding a bent, curved posture to take. This is unfortunately all too often observed in shooters running Nachladetätigkeiten immediately before the upper body or even in a position where both arms 45 ° forward stretched below. A hunched posture indicates fear the enemy, perception isolation and helplessness. Whereas an upright Posture high performance capability and willingness expressed to fight.
Napoleon is said to have said in spirit: It is better and sometimes easier to weaken the enemy mentally than physically.
When making the position "Northward" is essential to ensure that the weapon is located next to the head and not below the chin. Passes over the mouth parts of the head can be fatal consequences of accidental firing.
"Northward" dwells in fact held only one drawback: If the weapon from this position geholstert directly, the shooter high muzzle discipline exercise. Anatomical reasons a right shooter tends to smear the area with the gun to his left, and thus also jeopardizing team members or bystanders. Click to integrate a proper motion to the training and exercise regularly increased the stress safety.
Sul and Norte with rifles
When talking about techniques of the tactical use of firearms, it is not sufficient to isolate these techniques. Rather, they see as a component of a holistic concept. This implies, in this case, an analysis of how to read or position Norte Sul in handling a rifle,: let assault rifle, embed. "Northward" is straightforward in this regard dar. In many concepts is already a high fence with the rifle provided. These weapons factory farming, gun readiness posture "Northward" very close and can basically be seen as their long guns equivalent. Also makes the high fence with the rifle, the user's benefits Norte advantage: it 360 ° safety exists without substantial reduction of the visual field, Nachladetätigkeiten support ergonomic and the shooter but has a sufficient freedom of movement.
do Sul is the use of rifle and shotgun used, should these weapons not keeping with the low-Ready attack be confused. In the Low-Ready rifle with the stock remains in the shoulder. Only the mouth is lowered. In Sul with a long gun, the gun is directly on the body midline. The mouth shows again in "south" on the ground, a few inches in front of the shooter. With "long guns-Sul" is no readiness posture to be replaced, they should be used only as an option to other weapons poses such as high-or low-Ready Ready.
