don't get it

Basically, if you are left handed you are evil, and in times gone by lefties would have been burnt at the stake!

I would like to be able to switch back and forth. I shoot left handed but had to learn to use my right with certain weapons because of ejection port issues. Hot brass is not your friend! I might've been slightly less accurate but with practice it wasn't that hard to figure out. I think it would be a good feature for everyone to be able to use in conjunction with the corner lean movements. Righties wouldn't have to expose themselves as much when going left and vise versa.

As a south-paw I would love the option to be left handed in the game. That said, being must guns are right handed I've learned to shoot just as proficiency with either hand even though i'm more comfortable with my left. Also, for those saying it would kill realism as brass would hit you in the head a lot. Most guns eject their spent cases at angles mostly to the right-up-forward direction (yeah that's the best phrasing I could come up with) Now, I'm not saying no gun does but I've never had the problem with getting hit with MY brass. I have gotten hit by brass from shooters standing next to me and yes it does singe a bit sometimes.

If a south-paw feature was added I'd be happy, if not I wouldn't cry about it. Also, as an extra suggestion if it is implemented perhaps the game could also implement the feature of Left, Right, and Ambidextrous weaponry (yes they have them) in which that if A:right handed player picked up a left handed gun their shots will be slightly off for a certain amount of time (them getting used to it) until it would aim the same. Even if it didn't go as far as that I still think being able to see animations for both left and right handed shooters firing same and off handed weapons.

Dear OP...

I am left handed but i cannot agree with your idea based on the concept of "Have you ever fired an assault rifle in your left hand while the breach is on the right hand side of the rifle body?"

The words "Owww, Burning, and searing flesh" remind me of why i had to use my right hand. I think as with most of the lefties we have adapted to a very "Right handed" world, i mean bar drawing/writing i use my left as much as i do my right....
