A Rotational Cock can be thought of as a non-traditional form of cocking a weapon, because rather than moving the weapon in space to a new location, the weapon is instead rotated to a new orientation to cock it. Regardless, the outcome of cocking the weapon is still accomplished.

 

Rotational Cock is a relatively generic term and does not refer to whether the weapon itself is reoriented (i.e. cocked) or whether other elements of the body are reoriented - which then in turn reorient the weapon (i.e. via Body Fusion, Fixed Spacial Cocking, etc.).

 

Rotational Cock implies future motives because typically the follow-up maneuver is a motion that relies upon Torque when executed. This is critical to understand because this motion has the potential of being a telegraph to the opponent(s) which could be used against you. This is important because awareness of this fact allows one to employ Economy of Motion to essentially hide this motion from the opponent(s), and thus obey the general rule: "don't make a cock a separate motion".
