But tactical pace should have more sway/drift

It should remain possible to shoulder the weapon for switching to your pistol or binoculars, but I agree that it shouldn't be accurate when moving.

@Blu3sman: oops, brainfart. I confused the weapon with the older Gépard M1

I'll edit the post to reflect this. Thanks for the correction.

Shouldering should be possible but not for extended periods of time. Hitting targets at 400+ meters should be almost impossible, and above 100m very very difficult.

This applies to MGs as well (though to a lesser degree, depending on the MG).

Mass closing ancient tickets with no activity for > 12 months; assume fixed or too trivial.

If this issue is still relevant in current dev build, please re-post.
