[Michael A. Turner]

	My understanding was that the turning the gun sideways had nothing
to do with accuracy. The idea is to put the cases that are ejected in a
tighter pattern at your feet for easier retrieval at a crime scene, or more
to the point, a place that is just becoming a crime scene. I have my doubts
about this as I feel that they would hit the ground and bounce, making them
just as hard to collect, but I would not have to scramble a couple feet in
order to start collecting them.

A friend claims it is useful to do that to use the recoil to propel you arm
across a line of targets.  Frankly I'm dubious.  But, what do I know?  I'm
not
a gun person.
