The difference being that they used machine gunns and not pistols that way.
You won't hit **** if you hold a pistol sideways.

Recoil depends on the way you hold the gun and the way it interacts with your hand. If you hold it normally, it pushes your hand backwards. You hold handle of gun vertically, so it kind of jumps up because you can't hold still. If you move gun to horizontal position, the gun bumps into your hand and back horizontally also. It can't go up, because there's no force pushing it up, just sideways.

This is 100% true, I played a lot of Call of Duty so I'm verified gun expert.

It might also have something to do with the firing mechanism. There's a lot going on inside the gun, which might send some force upward. Then again, I'm an anonymous pussy so I probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

No, there's nothing forcing it UP(not counting weight of whole body of gun....), it just goes BACK. Which means that your hands stopping it forces it to bounce around. So, the way it bounces depends on way you hold it.

I played GTA too. I know all about guns bitch.

If the center of mass is ever so slightly off of the recoil's vector of force, the gun will pivot around it.

That translates to the muzzle rising as the gun does a fraction of a rotation around your shoulder in most firearm designs.

let's assume the chinese mobsters use the type83 smg, a modified chinese version of the PM63.
as you se int he immage, the upper reciever, bolt and all that other crap is situated above the trigger, so when you fire the gun the entire bolt will move backwards and forwards.
since it is situated above the trigger it will push your hand uppwards from that direction.
that is my theory off why the recoil would pull the gun sideways.

and no i am not saying all the chinese mobsters used this SMG, but the concept works on most regular SMG's

Snake: (eyeing Eva's gun) Mauser Military... the "Broomhandle."

Eva: It packs quite a punch. Nice to have when you're on a bike.

Snake: You held it sideways, and used the muzzle jump to create a horizontal
sweep; that was impressive.

Eva: Bet you've never seen that technique in the West.

Loved this game, glad I picked up the HD collection

I don’t give a **** who you are or where you live. You can count on me to be there to bring your ******* life to a hellish end. I’ll put you in so much ******* pain that it’ll make Jesus being nailed to a cross in the desert look like a ******* back massage on a tropical island. I don’t give a **** how many reps you have or how tough you are IRL, how well you can fight, or how many ******* guns you own to protect yourself. I’ll ******* show up at your house when you aren’t home. I’ll turn all the lights on in your house, leave all the water running, open your fridge door and not close it, and turn your gas stove burners on and let them waste gas. You’re going to start stressing the **** out, your blood pressure will triple, and you’ll have a ******* heart attack. You’ll go to the hospital for a heart operation, and the last thing you’ll see when you’re being put under in the operating room is me hovering above you, dressed like a doctor. When you wake up after being operated on, wondering what ticking time bomb is in your chest waiting to go off. You’ll recover fully from your heart surgery. And when you walk out the front door of the hospital to go home I’ll run you over with my ******* car out of no where and kill you. I just want you to know how easily I could ******* destroy your pathetic excuse of a life, but how I’d rather go to a great ****** length to make sure your last remaining days are spent in a living, breathing ******* hell. It’s too late to save yourself, but don’t bother committing suicide either… I’ll ******* resuscitate you and kill you again myself you bitch-faced phaggot. Welcome to hell, population: you

What the **** did you just ******* say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ******* words. You think you can get away with saying that **** to me over the Internet? Think again, ******. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re ******* dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little ****. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ******* tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will **** fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re ******* dead, kiddo.

Basic physics:
The recoil force is applied in a vector equal to the direction of the barrel. When dealing with handguns, the only part of your body resisting the recoil is the hand, which is situated below the barrel. This causes a rotational movement, commonly seen as muzzle flip. A handgun will always rotate in the same direction relative to the shooter's hand, regardless of its orientation.

********!!

The origin of holding your guns sideways came from the soldiers of Normandy back on the gool old medieval ages. Their archers started holding their bows sideways, for whatever ******* reason. And this later made them invent the crossbow! BAM! That is where it comes from!

On another note, the word "Thug" comes from a gang of bandits that roamed India many many years ago called the "Thugee"

Holding a longbow sideways is a really great way to reduce your draw lenght and thus range meaning that you can't hit the enemy but they can hit you.

No, they just figured out the best way to shoot. This affected how well their aim was, but they could spray and manage recoil, which is good for gang members.

Well, the reason they held bows sideways, is because A. It supported the arrows, and B. less downtravel.

Recoil is the force going backwards, into the shooter.
The muzzle jump is what creates a horizontal sweep when the gun is held sideways.

Technicalities, I know.
