You need to be behind a box or wall that allows you to crouch then automatically fire over when you click. It works best on boxes and many of the sandbag walls.

you can fire the M240 while standing up when you are behind a crate, or sandbags, or everything which is around 1m-1m50m high.

[quote="OzyThesage"]M72 and RPG-7 are actually very different kinds of weapons. M72 and RPG-18 etc. would be light weapons, while RPG-7 and SMAW or MAAWS would be more accurate comparisons I think. In any case, these weapons can be fired from standing or prone, but it's generally easier to fire while crouched. Firing while standing up requires you to brace yourself (I.E. not move around) or else you'll get knocked onto your back, and firing while prone requires you to lay down at a somewhat awkward angle to prevent hurting yourself with the backblast.

Really though, I can't think of any weapons that are designed to only be fired while crouched. I don't doubt that they exist, I just can't think of one.

Perhaps make it so machineguns/automatic rifles can be fired prone/using bipod for maximum effectiveness, but can be first crouched with severely reduced accuracy and increased recoil. That might remove the downsides to having a weapon like that though, since right now the AR's are used for fire superiority during a firefight, not for clearing around corners and CQB.[/quote
Mortar :3

That's a CSW, you wouldn't be running around with that like you would a rifle, let alone fire one like a rifle.

Just to wrap this up, the support for the feature in this topic was added in beta 0.67.

Note that using can_shoot_crouching in weapon specs doesn't disable shooting from prone.

Thank you for adding this. I really feel it added a lot to the game.
