I cannot see how this is more realistic: In reality, in order for a user of a weapon to maintain their view down the iron sights of a gun, they would have to move their gun with their perspective. In other words, the gun and the user's perspective movement has to be relative and proportional to each other, thus so do the arms, otherwise he/she would loose his/her aim. Such aiming system might be prefered by some, but I do not believe it is more realistic, unless you can convince me otherwise, or I am misunderstanding something.
