Stared at it awhile, and I think it's probably an artifact of all those old fashioned ways of carrying and holding guns that changed as body armour and compact assault rifles became the norm.
Plus the mount, I've never seen anyone carry a machine gun with the tripod. I think it looks awkward in a believable way, like if you gave someone 5 seconds to figure out how to run with this thing, this is the best they could do
Yeah, the picture implies it’s been fired recently because he needs to hold the barrel with a rag, so firing it, picking it up to advance a few yards put it down and fire again I think. Otherwise you’d take it off the tripod.
