Weapon Positions

some definitions;

High port- one hand only on weapon (usually strong hand). Barrel pointed straight up in the air (don't spill your beer!) . Good reference is optic or iron sight touching or almost touching shoulder or kit strap.

High ready- both hands on weapon. Barrel is at an angle toward the shooter's other strong side so he can see past the hand guard, but still pointed up in the air. Good reference is optic or iron sight touching high chest of shooter. Buttstock is under arm. Can be more aggressive in a CQB or urban type setting where the barrel is more toward the target and the optic or iron sight is just off the chest.

Low port- patrol position. Both hands on weapon. Sling might support a bit of the weight depending. Weapon is flat against body. A right handed shooter would have the selector switch side of a m4 against his body in this position. Barrel pointed at ground in front. Super relaxed.

Low ready- both hands on weapon. Roughly a 30 degree down angle, but depends on targets relation to shooter. No cheekweld. Looking just over the top of optic or iron sight. It's possible that you can be in the low ready pointing up at the third floor of a building.
