Left-handed player models

[Opteryx]

I'm one of those people who's super left handed, I almost can't do anything like a right handed person for some reason, what's even funnier is that a few years ago I discovered that my hand writing looks way better if I write mirrored from right to left, if I do it on a transparent piece of paper and hold it up in front of a light looking at it from the backside, my hand writing looks quite normal.
Writing from left to right however looks like something written by a freaking third grader

An Arab guy told me once that my Arabic writing (the little I know) style was very good actually
Unfortunatly that doesn't help me very much when filling out applications in Norwegian/English/Whatever

I'm a left-handed shooter, and I've always fired with my left hand. On parade I have to hold the rifle with my right hand, as was said, to keep the company uniform, but when shooting I shoot with my left hand.
Spent cartridges hitting your face is a risk, but most rifle don't do that (normally the cartridge is ejected sideways and a little forward, but sometimes it get thrown backwards), and with most new rifles with a right-side ejection port having a brass deflector it's not much of a concern. Also, some rifles (like the Tavor) have a customizable ejection port, so it can be set to eject from the left side for a left handed shooter.

About the possibility of putting it in game - I've been fiddling with it a bit, still to no success, so maybe some better modder might come and make it possible.

I always shot with he "right hand" as the weapons I started shooting with had their case - ejection to the right, like the G3 for example. If I shot with the left hand there would have been a severe risk of getting the hot brass in the face and/or elsewhere where it really hurts.

The RK - 62 throws the shells to the right too so that might be one good reason for left-handed people to use it on their right side.

Good point is also which one of your eyes is better - if your other eye is clearly weaker than the other one then there is no point using it even if you need to change to your "secondary" hand then.

In games like ArmA I would like to see more variety in the soldier models. Maybe left-handedness could fit in too. Another thing is how much it actually improves the experience for the left-handed people? Mainly, would it be worthwhile for game developers to consider it.

All I care about is getting a decent configuration for left handed people, how the the soldier I'm controlling hold his gun matters little to none for me.

If you implimented left handed shooting, you would have to impliment red-hot brass hitting you in the face.. which means left handed players should have faces full of bottle-shaped scars. That sounds like a lot of work!

As already mentioned, it depends on the weapon type. Later model M4's and M16's have a brass deflector to cater for lefties. If you have to use the SA80 or G3 or any of a huge list of other weapons, then yeah, you'll get hot brass where it hurts. Easy way to deal with it is to just have it damage the player until death

Hahaha! That would take a lot of brass to cause fatal burns! What a terrible way to die!

i know someone who is a lefies, damn good shooter he is, but since he is using AUG most of his time he train himself to use right hand(well he could write with right hand from the start but he use left hand most of the time, this makes him a both-handed), <s>i am not sure if</s> AUG dont have a interchangable eject side where you could put it left or right like a Famas through

Today a lot of weapons are customizable, like the G36 for example but I never felt the need to switch to the left hand.

Or the FNP90 which ejects it&#39;s spent cases downwards.

I would be really grateful if you could post your setup.

Right now my setup is screwed up due to the newest patch. It wont allow me to zoom with my right MB. Plus you have to remember I&#39;m using right hand on mouse and left hand on keypad. You&#39;d probably have to figure out what works for you.
