Why Do Rappers Hold Their Guns Sideways?

Because they love to have weapon jams and sometimes brass in the face while in the middle of a firefight after a concert or award show.

This trend started after a "gangster" did it in the movie "Menace To Society" in 1993.

Never seen a real gangster do it at home in LA, but somehow the word got out that this "cool."

I almost "choked out" one of my Soldiers at a M9 range who was shooting like that at Bragg lol.

people who do no longer know a thank you to apply the weapon do stupid crap like conserving a gun sideways too seem "cool" i even have had huge education on extremely some different weapons and that i know for a actuality that conserving a pistol sideways will in all probability have a miles less efficient accuracy value

I once saw an FBI statistic that 90% of gunfights happen within 10 feet of the intended target and only 10% of gunfights hit the intended target.

How they hold the pistol sideways I am sure contributes to it.

Physics lesson day one, it rises less that way when your arm is holding it. It has to do with your bicep and tricep muscles and the fact that rotational energy is best expressed in the Y axis or X axis and 90* away. I fired a Thompson and it rose on me, when I held it sideways it still rose but easy to hold.

one the have no weapons training and i guess they figure they have enough bullets they wil hit the person eventually. Its retarded and ideal of where it came from or even originated from is beyond me that would be a good question to be answered.

Because they think it looks cool, but they don;t realize you can;t aim with the weopon when you do that.

I wish i had something new to add; but stupid ignorant and all the other good ones have been taken!

Because they think that if they do that they will look bad-*** or cool, even though they are not. I think they try to hard.

Idiocy. they end up with them up above their heads and pointing downwards. fingers crossed it gets so exaggerated they start shooting themselves.

Because their bling has twisted their bone structure
