The wrong way of handling the machine gun showcased in the picture is likely a result of the film crew's insufficient research on the firearm (considering Dr. Strangelove is a comedy film, and Kubrick was not among the best or the most resourceful directors when Dr.Strangelove was made). Therefore I'd like to encourage voters to ignore this detail.
