There's a couple guys in my area extolling the virtues of the tactical turtle (see screencap below for their reasoning). Please share your counterpoints.

Sounds like bullshit to me.
You're looking out the top of the eye sockets, something that completely destroys the visual acuity of those who wear glasses and hinders it to some degree for everyone else.
The locked arms don't absorb any recoil and make it harder to keep the pistol shooting flat.
Being rigid like that definitely hinders lateral transitions.
I used to shoot like that and quickly figured out that no one I saw who was better and faster than I did so.
The theory that bones are good armor seems dubious at best but I'm not a doctor.
Serious question, are they winning matches?

Do they shoot better in this stance than another?

Well, at least a couple things are true. It is a common instinctive reaction to a threat and putting more bones in front of vitals does add more shielding. A bullet that hits your forearms and jawbone is much less likely to get to your spine then an unobstructed shot to the throat, a bullet that breaks your forearm and then a rib has used a lot of it's penetration before it starts drilling toward your organs. It'll still suck, mind you, but a broken arm is better than a severed spine or ruptured aorta. The rounder bits of the skull deflect bullets easier than the flatter parts of the skull as well.
If it's better or worse for shooting, or enough of a difference to matter either way, I don't know.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
That's not what Mike Green of GreenOps says and he's won on the battlefield and won matches.

It was a joke. Of course he's right.
Sorry, am on cold meds.
