I’ll be contrarian on this: For rifles, your eye dominance matters a lot more than which hand you use. Really you shouldnt be relying much on fine motor skills for it anyway. My southpawed family members just shoot like everyone else.
… right, but if you dont shoot lefty, that’s not a problem. That is my point. Just shoot “righty”. There isnt a good reason not to unless you are mostly blind in the right eye or otherwise impaired on the right.
Yeah, I meant for service rifles where typically accuracy isnt the top priority. Most people can learn to cope with it, even if your other eye is strongly dominant.
Everyone is different, but I have taught people to shoot and I am myself a strongly left-eye dominant righty. I have no problem with it for rifle with a magnified optic and I learned to deal with it for 1x red dot and irons. I had to cover my left eye with a patch or blacked out glasses lens to train my brain to deal with it, but it does work. I still prefer to cover one eye in some positions and situations.
I taught my family to shoot righty because it isnt that hard to shoot with your non-dominant hand and there are so many more options for right-handed rifles. IMO, for service rifles, it doesnt necessarily make sense to spend much engineering effort to accomodate 10% of users.
Now dont get me wrong: I sometimes switch sides for training, so I do appreciate ambidextrous controls on rifles and I detest shooting wrong-handed on some guns. I just dont think it needs to be a dealbreaker when you can train around it.
The saying remains: European rifles are amazing unless you’re left handed.

I think they mean the bullpups fling hot brass into your arm if you shoot lefty.
The famas could be set to eject to whichever side you preferred.
Lol at the one random downvote.
“I don’t like rifles that eject cases, they should be recycled!”
I get downvoted any time I make a comment that lets on I know things about guns.

Because my dominant eye is the left? So I shoot lefty. Even tho I am right handed. And yes the difference is noticable when I shoot righty.
Now to be fair I only do standing air rifle shooting maybe real firefight situation is different.

nato should have adopted the P90 cmv.
Do you watch Stargate, by chance?
Yes, but long after watching the ahoy video on the P90.
