Introduction

A tutorial style explanation of how to physically position the body around tall, cylindrical can bunkers, focusing on alignment, movement control, and vertical posture handling.

Key Points

  • Explains upright alignment around tall vertical bunkers.
  • Describes stable rotation mechanics around rounded surfaces.
  • Covers controlled vertical adjustment for visibility.
  • Teaches compact posture for narrow exposure profiles.
  • Supports consistent marker handling around cylindrical structures.

Details

Can bunkers are tall, vertical structures requiring consistent alignment and controlled rotational movement. Because of their shape, they encourage upright posture and minimal lateral drift.

The core mechanical requirement is maintaining a straight, balanced torso while positioning near the bunker. Over leaning or twisting can cause players to misalign their marker.

Rotational mechanics should be subtle. Players shift their stance by rotating the feet and hips rather than swinging the shoulders independently. This helps prevent instability and reduces unintended marker movement.

Vertical adjustments raising or lowering the line of sight should originate from knee flexion or extension rather than leaning the upper body.

Compact posture remains essential. Even though cans are large, maintaining a narrow shoulder line helps prevent unnecessary exposure.

These principles support mechanical consistency when working around cylindrical bunkers without addressing tactical angles or engagement decisions.
