Anyone else have a problem with Franklin's Lack of gun continuity

[killahmatic]

At first i thought they got it right he's holding his gun sideways with 1 hand like he's supposed to, then he starts holding it straight up aiming with 2 hands looking right down the barrel. It didn't look right, it makes Franklin lose street credibility.

 

 

I'm not saying anything other haven't already said but holding a gun sideways is completely ridiculous. You lose all accuracy. Do you want to look like a gangster or do you want to hit the target?

[HiddenStreet]

ITT: OP finds a fancy way to say "Franlklin isn't black enough".

[jamieleng]

It means they didn't make franklins character thorough. He's not a genuine thug.

 

He puts on a front for the hood, then shows up and tries to be all sophisticated when he's around successful people like Michael and Trevor.

 

Real recognize real and that's what I call fakin and fronting. I lost respect for Franklin now and I can't take him as seriously as before. I thought they were going to be able to get his character right too. #letdown

He has respect for reality & it's the gangbangers who have their head up their culo.

 

Off topic: Man, another GTA V ad on Film4.

How the hell do people find time to come up with pointless crap, I for one won't give a sh*t if Franklin the Gangster isn't holding a gun like Gangsters are supposed to hold em.

[PlasmicSnake]

He's right, him aiming properly makes him look like someone who actually knows a little something about firearms as opposed to most people on the street who only know what looks cool. Thats why they shoot 20 times and dont hit their target or they kill the person in the house 4 doors down of where they were aiming. Franklin would have to use all his money on buying ammo if he shot like someone from the street.

No. You hold it like that so the gun recoil doesn't kick back and bust you in the nose. Hold it sideways and the gun bounces off your chest when you shoot it instead and you win the gunfight. While your all eyes water and nose busted holding your gun like a dumbass and now you can't see sh*t, I'm getting the drop on you cuz I was smart enough to hold my gun the right way on the streets.

 

Same way you bench weights, you can bench a lot better if you bounce the weights off your chest a little bit. Think about how you're hold the bar, now put 2 pistols in your hands in that position and guess what? You'll be holding the guns sideways. Its the same sh*t. Do you all even lift?

Clearly someones never fired a real gun before. I have to assume your just joking cause nobody can be this ignorant.

[ArcaneKnight]

Yes I have and every gun I ever fired I shot like that. It works and its suited for street situations. You all don't know what its like on the street so you don't know.

 

But its also held like that as a deterrent. A deterrent to prevent anybody else from acting up. People see you hold a gun sideways like that and they take you serious, they don't want problems. They know your in a gang and you well connected in the streets. Its about the image just as much as it is effectiveness. And that's the most effective way to aim in the streets period.

[PlasmicSnake]

I agree with you, in the "streets" that is correct gun handling method, Just like trying to carry a desert eagle around on your waist. I'll also refer to my first post in this topic. #35 If i was from the streets though and saw him aiming like that hes obviously 5-0 or from the 'burbs.

[Belvgor]

Yes he loses street credibility because he actually kills Ballas instead of shooting five or six pedestrians he wasn't aiming for.

[Skylanator]

LOL. The way Franklin holds a gun is fine, I think he looks more professional !

[ArcaneKnight]

More professional? He looks like he's scared to shoot somebody and take their life.

 

If someone does a hold up at a gas station, the clerk is going to take a suspect that holds their gun sideways a lot more serious than they would someone holding the gun with both hands.

 

Person holding the gun sideways won't think twice about taking your life. People that hold the gun with both hands fire the gun with their eyes closed cuz they're scared. People that aim sideways aren't scared so they don't care about killing you.

 

That's why people are less likely to try anything on them because the sideways image of holding a gun is enough to make people comply with any and all demands. Where if they see you holding the gun with both hands like you scared, they might try to make a plan to take you on.

 

Can't be letting people think they sense weakness. Holding your sh*t straight up with both hands shows weakness. Holding it sideways shows you mean business. That's all there is to it.

[Murad96]

So you want him to go like this?

Rockstar have made it clear Franklin doesn't care about the hood or how they do things, he isn't going to get himself killed over "respect".

People hold the gun with both hands so they shoot the person they're aiming at. Seriously the whole image of holding your gun sideways is dumb as hell, why do you think guns were crafted with sights on the top and not the side?

[Seriousman]

Oh Hell naw. They need to remake the game because of this extremely noticeable error.

[gta513]

I grew up n projects as a child and have seen some wild sh*t but neva have i seen anyone shoot sideways thats movie sh*t you cant hit nothing like that

[qfrmcpt]

Lol , why are all of you feeding arcane? It's obvious he's joking

[skillz7855]

you do know you can get your shooting rank up right?

If you aren't strong enough to handle the kick from a firearm, then you have no business holding one to begin with...

 

But it almost makes sense considering the way you lift. You don't bounce the weights off your chest, you just barely touch and then you bring it back up again.....for one you won't break your sternum, for two you won't cheat yourself and maybe end up getting a decent lift...

 

You are such a dipsh*t it's not even funny. It's actually pathetic.

I think he is that ignorant.

So your saying the military shoot their pistols with their eyes closed and that there all pussies and you could probably take a trained soldier out in a firefight pistol-to-pistol while holding your gun sideways. I smell bullsh*t. And why the f*ck is some hard street hustla on a forum for a videogame with the name "ArcaneKnight". I thought people from the streets don't have a too decent education to know what arcane means.

[ArcaneKnight]

A marine wouldn't stand a chance against a gang member in a street scenario. Not even the British SAS or the French GIGN would stand a chance against a full gang that has a few square blocks on complete hood lockdown.

 

Go watch End of Watch if you want to see how a couple cops get handled in the hood holding their guns like some rookies. Do you all not know what street sweepers are? Choppers? They're getting this sh*t off the black market that sh*t is better than anyone else can get at a sporting goods store. They have fully automatic glocks, 24k gold ak's. Arab sultans the only other ones that got sh*t like that. And Hood gun mods are more deadly than military issue weapons in full on street scenarios wtf are you all talking about.

 

You all don't remember the street riots when the 5 white cops got acquitted for beating Rodney king on tape? There wasn't sh*t anybody could do about it, they damn near burnt LA to the ground. We're lucky we even got either SA or V you all don't know how real sh*t gets when the hood gets mad. LA would be a wasteland if the hood didn't decide to let up.

 

If Oj Simpson would've got convicted that would've been the nail in the coffin for Los Angeles and Southern California as a whole. You all don't understand how much the hood dictates how sh*t is run here.

[HyperDunk2012]

Right! I wanna go Pac in dis ish!

[hellslave]

This is all pointess; what people SHOULD be annoyed wth, is that even five/six years later, we will STILL be using our right hand to fire from a motorcycle while somehow still being alble to accelerate at the same time. THAT is what is rediculous!

[banks49]

Nobody holds their gun sideways anymore.

now i'm positive you're trolling, this post was weak

Aside from him not holding it sideways he also isn't doing a punching motion when he fires, his bullets would go alot faster if he threw that little jab in there. At least thats what i heard in the streets.

[nekkidhillbilly]

why havent you seen that all the military and police are now training sideways shooting for its impending accuracy

[Theodore93]

Michael's the shooter. Perhaps he teaches Franklin how to handle a gun properly?

Is that why Zimmerman got set free and the hood didn't do sh*t because they're little pussies that shoot like girls?
