I was sure I had posted in this topic - *confused*

I am right handed, but left eyed - which can be inconvient when shooting at cadets (It's easier when both are the same - in general you should opt for the side of the eye - I can't).

Despite this disadvantage, I am still a very good shot (3rd or 4th on average in the detachment I believe - I hold the record for the single round of best shooting though.)

I am unable to write or shoot left handed - it just feels "wrong".

Ok then. I wasn't aware of the two different topics.

I regularly think I have posted something when I haven't - because I've closed the window or something.

Two different topics hasn't helped.

A flashflood single handed? Could be useful.

The FF looks quite well balanced due to the underslung reservior, and I know that your Arctic shock is well balanced, so it should be quite easy to dual wield the pair, but small PCs may be your downfall there.

However, I can dual wield a fully loaded CPS 2700 (admittedly it has been modified to make this easier) and Triple Aggressor (which is not well balanced at all, particularly with the external pressure tank I have added) and hit seperate targets at the same time.

I can pump two Triple Shots by squeezing them between my legs or under my arm pits. It is not easy but it is fun shooting with 2 guns at the same time.

Okay, I'm a righty...like everybody, I want to be ambi (that's right, it's ambi, not amby)...but I voted for the fourth option because it just seemed to cool to pass up :rolleyes: .

@ Spinner: You do have a good point about the reducing number of righties.

@ Crashdummy: Why did you use an angry face after your positive comment about the XP 310's pressure gauge :rolleyes: ? Strange...

@ everybody: What a pointless topic...even the "FINAL FAVORITE COLO(U)R POLL," which I believe should have been "FAVO(U)RITE" :p , was better--it allowed me to do my pro-choice rant :D .
EDIT: Oh yeah, this is the Off Topic forum, isn't it?

Because, it is a little bit hard to see the pressure gauge when it is on the opposite side. I need to either hold it funny or pump it like a righty to be able to see the gauge, and that would get annoying after a while. :p

Well, I write with my left hand, but can for the most part shoot anything from a pistol to a shotgun with either hand...(for some reason I can hit a target with a .357 revolver better with my left, but with a 9mm compact I'm better with my right :confused :) so I dunno.

I'm right handed, it would be nice if I were ambidextrous though.

I don't know, ambidextrous people aren't looking so lucky anymore. I know somebody who writes with his right, shoots basketballs with his left, bowls with his right, etc....
