Growing up using air rifles, then real rifles I've grown accustomed to gauging the Windage and aiming off accordingly, whilst doing some long range target practice today I've had 100% let to right and only just noticed that if I cant the rifle and still aim on target I can get the bb to actually curve, using the Magnus effect in to the wind and still hit, clearly it's still a new tequnique to myself so it's going to take a bit of practice but it works!

Anyone else do this ?

yup, you can also do it to hit folk behind barricades too.

Hold your rifle upside-down and hit people crouching behind cover. Also, if you spin yourself around really fast and then fire, your BB will curve even more and allow you to execute a clean kill on someone standing behind you. I think they did a documentary on this effect called 'Wanted', except in that they just whip handguns around (which is going to be too cumbersome with your VSR/BAR) rather than doing pirouettes.

Same principle applies when doing a forward roll and drawing your pistol, it increases velocity of the BB through inertia like a bowling a cricket ball, and increases range ;)

To quote a awesome bloke "forward rolls are for John woo movies" ?

And don't forget if you shoot stright up at the sky, the BB will fall a few inches infront of you, so if you're behind a wall and want to hit people the other side it can be very useful :blink:
