Oh ...oh...it's the look! It's simply more aesthetically pleasing to the eye! Do you actually have a counter argument as to why they are NOT more effective in combat.
Or does it end with "LOL"...?
I think I've stated it before, a chunk of plastic which goes in your hand, doesn't make your eyes see better, your legs crouch or spring up faster, or your torso lean twist or lean any faster. Design fella, it's a thing, look it up. Posting pictures of soldiers with pistol gripped rifles, without understanding the
design elements of pistol grips in the first place, doesn't help your argument.
If pistol grips were such a game changer, they'd end up on every gun, as everyone would want to reap the benefits of them. Turns out, some pistol grips don't complement some firearms
designs, as they end up being uncomfortable and put important controls out of reach. But you'd know this if you actually knew shit about guns and how they work instead of posting pictures of soldiers as if that was some kind of game changer that magically made guns deadlier.
If you knew shit about hunting, you'd realize that there is no disadvantage to using a field stock, because that's the kind of grip those guns were
designed to use, again, do a bit of research and check out where certain safties and controls were placed. Some of them were
designed to be used with a pistol grip, some for field stocks and neither of which had do do with the ability to duck faster or whatever silly bullshit you're spouting.
If you think that a soldier can snap shoot, go in and out of cover and do COMBAT shit better than a hunter does, solely because of what grip is on the gun...good luck spitting "venom".
