Came across this picture which was causing an intense amount of debate and lowkey oneupsmanship by people on the prowl to show of their expertise in all things military who were also completely out of the loop on the gear they were talking about.

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

Is that a special scope that's supposed to go on that way? It looks a bit weird being only halfway on the mount
It's on a LaRue riser which has an arm that sticks forward. The LPVO's mount is fully secured to it. In the original discussion a seemingly infinite amount of Boomers didn't know this and without doing even a second of research or thought began to confidently post about how stupid it was to mount an optic hanging halfway off a riser.
For history, here's Delta using the exact same riser:
He's put it on a riser block, presumably to get it clear of the front post, which he's chosen to leave on. Or maybe just because he finds that height more comfortable for his shooting position. He's also mounted the riser further back than the scope for some reason. Why? Who knows. Maybe that's not the scope he normally puts on there or something.
It's all just personal preference and personal quirks at the end of the day. The guy is clearly practicing reload drills, not shooting, so maybe this isn't even a proper setup. Who knows.
It's just mounted further forward on the rail. A longer optic like that will typically have better eye relief, and he presumably finds it more comfortable mounted further from the eye. A lot of weapon set up is about personal habits and comfort.
He's got that whole setup weirdly close. He's cramped up to use it like that.
