I won't be using the weaver combat stance in the game nor permit it.
Assume I'm a brainless newbie, could explain just what the 'Weaver Stance' is?
Here's a verbal description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaver_stance
It's one of two primary stances currently used in shooting handguns;
the other is the Isosceles (essentially both arms straight out
gripping and supporting the handgun with the gun and the shooter's
shoulders forming the three points of an isosceles triangle).
And here's a couple pictures: http://gijoedaisy.tripod.com/neomel/id5.html
With the advent of modern body armor, the Weaver is slowly falling
out of favor because it causes the shooter to, however slight, blade
towards the target and possibly expose the under arm gap in the armor.
