Evolution of 'snap' or 'reflex' shooting

This came up in a politics thread, I thought I would start a seperate thread.

There wee comments on some pictures of people carrying AR-15s without sights.
It was speculated that they may have been purchased by people who don't know what they are doing as you are expected to add optical sights these days and irons aren't put on.

SteveAitch posted a link to a wiki page on 'Point Shooting' which is a method of shooting 'reflexively' as favoured by shooters using shotguns after birds etc

Apart from being illustrated with a picture of a soldier obviously using a reflex sight it made me think of a series of videos made by 'British Muzzle Loaders' on the evolution of the technique by the British Army in WW2.
They are part of his larger series on the use of the Lee Enfield and the evolution of the British 'Manual of Arms' through the war years.

Here is the first of a two parter working through the 'manual of arms' for 'CQB' and it's effectiveness with Lee Enfields on the range.
He's his usual thorough self and joined in Canada by the 'Bloke on the Range'

By the latter half of the war the techniques for 'snap' or 'reflex' shooting in what was called 'Close Quarter Battle' (CQB) had evolved quite considerably.
