Muzzle up or down?

What are your standard on a foot-patrol?
I have always learned that muzzle must point downwards allways.
Only if you are taking aim or searching for targets the muzzle is up.
The reason i'm asking is because in a Norwegian forum they have this tread, named Muzzle or Down, one of the longest treads on that forum..
Apparently they don't have any SOP's on the subject.
" sometimes i patrol the muzzle up sometimes down"...
" if there is snow i have the muzzle up"
" see, the US seals also do it(a video from a junglepatrol)."
And this is conscripts most of them.
Anyone..??

Depends what you're muzzling.
I prefer up. But that's just me.
Blimey, is that the time?

You most have a SOP for this.
Actually i think that ours is adopted from yours..
And we spend(did) hours and hours each week rehearsing it..!
World best basic training... Come on... (provo holger

We patrolled muzzle down, but that was only a 3-day training exercise, and I'm a Crab, so wouldn't know about SOPs!

WTF
Is Ron the only active soldier in here....

How do YOU handle YOUR rifle/carabin/submachinegun/pistol..??
If you are advancing through an open hostile terrain?
Will your rifle point 15-30 degrees downwards or upwards??

Way back when, I was told muzzle down unless somewhere where any ND's hitting the ground would be likely to ricochet (i.e. on concrete or similar hard surface).
