Uh oh,pointing FRENCH guys. This is getting serious. Cool subject though and very well done as far as I know. Here is a hint to resin company sculpters. When real soldiers are in the field,we NEVER salute and we certainly don't point. Anyone with tactical sense knows this. But I suppose eit looks dramatic.

I've seen police and soldiers point... but mostly with the flat hand, not a finger.

Need some knife hands!

I agree with the no saluting....but Australian military still point (knife hands)....in a tactical environment using the support hand, as the master hand never leaves the pistol grip/ trigger as opposed to the US brothers who do the opposite.

I know you may have seen guys point or use the knife hand. But think about it. If you are a bad guy observing doesn't this help you ? Give it a think. J

Jerry, you would have used field signals as a para grunt....! You have lost me on this one....
