If a Soldier knows the exact instant that the rifle will fire, the Soldier will naturally compensate for the weapon’s noise and recoil, causing him to miss the target. Soldiers usually tense their shoulders when expecting the rifle to fire; it is difficult to detect since the Soldier does not realize that he is flinching
