ive always thought you snapshoot with your legs but some people are saying to use your waist instead what is the correct way?

Different people have different methods mate as you've found out. It's hard to say which one is right or wrong, each has it's benefits. Go along to different training schools and learn form them and find out what works best.

Snapshooting is alot like darts.... you have to keep the moving parts to a minimum because this makes it easier to make exactly the same movement every time, using the waist/hips is deemed the correct way to do it I believe, this way you can keep your whole upper body in exactly the same posture while movement of your waist brings your barrel in and out of cover.

it differs greatly from the nexus snap to the more commonly used one incorporating the dynasty powerstance :)

usually people pick up snap-shooting on their own after being tought one method... since it is all personal preference. and in all fairness, if youre hitting them, and theyre not hitting you... something has to be going right ;)

heh mine kills the back of my legs, but i usually stretch to the max and then a little bit more to shoot ;p

snap shooting has 3 simple steps

expose yourself
shoot
un-expose yourself

everyone does em differently though :p
