During World War II, kneeling to fire a rifle was a common tactical position used by soldiers to balance accuracy and stability while engaging targets. Kneeling allowed troops to take advantage of cover while maintaining a steady aim. This position reduced the recoil impact on the shooter compared to standing and provided a lower profile than standing or prone positions. It was particularly useful in trench warfare and urban combat where space was limited. By kneeling, soldiers could fire with greater precision and control, enhancing their effectiveness in both defensive and offensive operations. This technique was a standard practice for maximizing rifle performance in varied combat scenarios.
