I would be fine with your character making , so long as they were written in the correct way. By the way I read it, you wrote it as if it was all things that had been decided and were in fact happening;I didn't ever say he had the barrel sticking out of the rocks (even I wouldn't make that mistake and I haven't even thought of joining the armed forces), nor was he holding the barrel to guide the rifle. Those were all things you seem to have decided he is doing, and that, my friend, is what we call powerplaying.

 That is how you hold a rifle, by the barrel, it's how every body, except snipers, is trained to hold a rifle, and sticking the barrel out isn't a mistake, it would just happen cause he is using the rocks for cover, again only snipers are trained to draw back so far, your just assuming these things are bad, they aren't they are what your normal soldier would do.
