That being said, I find it uncomfortable and it becomes even worse if you have any kind of bulky armor/carrier/rig on (which is how most of us run, airsofters running a "slick" setup are a tiny minority). In the real world it probably also goes against some dogma about presenting armor rather sides to the threat.
