I was tinkering with my DPMS the other day and just out of curiosity decided to throw it on my left shoulder and peep down the sights. I was surprised by how comfortable I was walking around weilding the weapon in this manner that I'm almost convinced that I would be able to shoot both right and left handed. Of course, I'm gonna get all kinds of hot brass chunked in my face and on my arm lol. But I just thought this was neat and kinda want to try shooting lefty. Anyone else able to do this?

^Still, thats pretty convenient. I mean, if for some reason you were in a situation where you could not effectively engage a target right handed, being able to fire lefty would come in quite handy.

Yeah ,I think it's pretty common with AR's . I qualified that way once after shoulder surgery. Righthanded I could shoot in the 240's, Southpaw in the upper 220's to low 230"s.
