A look at the shootouts of a South African swat unit:
Filmed over the course of three years by British war cameraman Jeff Chagrin. The SWAT team’s motto is “You have never lived until you have almost died.”.
1:40 – Hahha how operator is that. Very necessary.
Typical room clearing techniques, and other normal safety precautions when encountering potential threats seem to elude these guys. Oh well live to die another day I suppose… It does go with their motto quite well.
You’ll learn a lot from this video if you give it a chance:
My Analysis:
Right from the beginning it’s obvious that with this handgun you don’t need to really clear-rooms, you just need to maintain a brisk walk with your finger on the trigger, and scan mode set to “derp”. Make sure your grip on this handgun is really shitty too… that’s a must. I’m talking like really have your fingers and support hand positioned in awkward uncomfortable ways.
0:38 – When you’re climbing up loose gravel hills next to a brick wall some shit head did a cringe-worthy mortar job on, make sure again you have your finger on the trigger. If you’ve played video games, I don’t have to tell you that these are the type of places people usually camp out.
0:43 – Get a buddy with a submachine gun and make sure he can handle finger on the trigger operations as well. Then run infront of his muzzle pretending to clear the staircase.
1:08 – Yea it’s 9mm, but the gun has a built in recoil enhancer… so that coupled with your piss poor grip will make it look like you’re one-handing a pistol grip shotgun on every trigger pull. Also, you HAVE to slap the trigger… don’t gently squeeze it like a pansy.. I’m talking really jerky robotic slaps if you expect to operate in Russian operations.
1:13 – Open those eyes wide and keep your finger on the trigger when passing through holes in the brick wall where that dickhead Kool-Aid man fucked shit up.
1:16 – You sense Kool-Aid man is near so you naturally get rid of your rifle and awkwardly opt to cross draw your pistol out of some shitty Russian Uncle Mike’s style holster (Uncle Dimitri’s?). Once you draw IMMEDIATELY put your finger on the trigger and increase your walk speed to brisk.
1:21 – Patent pending spherical scan, finger on trigger as usual. This is one of the most advance moves I suggest you don’t embarrass yourself by attempting until you have several Russian operations with the GSh-18 pistol under your newfag belt.
1:26 – Nothing shows how operator you are like barrel rolls. Again KEEP YOUR FINGER ON THE TRIGGER… this isn’t a game comrade.
1:30 – Randomly drop your pistol so you can showcase a sweet pick-up roll move, instantly gaining advanced operator cred.
1:41 – You have 2 hands? Why not dual wield? One gun is for newbs. Also if you have a submachine gun make sure you always nervously play near the barrel end of it with your support hand.
1:44 – Sometime you gotta take risks as an operator that dual wields. That’s life. The wife and kids will understand if you don’t make it home from an operation because you just sprinted with two guns through a battlefield.
1:47 – Always eject both mags in a dual wield at once to check what your round count is. Naturally this is followed by you banging them back into action on your knees while in a crouched position. Crouching Sergei Hidden Derp.
1:52 – Rock & Roll, you’re back in the fight… cover is for pussies, expose yourself and engage the enemy with your dual wield.
2:18 – A mini Kool-Aid man was responsible for that hole. Ohhhhhhh yeaahhhhhh.
2:21 – If you can get your grip that on point you’ll be shooting bullseyes all fucking day.
2:25 - THV (Très haute vitesse) rounds? Damn… your operator status has been upgraded to tier i (yea an imaginary number level… real number levels like tier 1 etc… are for basic operators which you obviously are not.)
2:48 – Hug every shitty mortared brick wall with your finger on the trigger that you can find. Make sure to switch to your shitty hand to go around corners too.
3:36 – The Kool-Aid man is still at large. You want to spill those delicious red juices all over the rocky ground with one awkward jerk of your GSh-18 trigger.
3:50 – It’s now night time. The Kool-Aid man has an advantage in the dark, so you need to hold your flashlight like a loser and scan.
Thoughts? If you don’t agree with my operator tips I’d love to hear why in the comments.
VICE goes to an armed baptist church in Albuquerque, New Mexico:
That clip was from Episode #3 of the VICE HBO series, which seems to be quite good.
Really sad that people can’t even go to church without fear of getting killed; I suppose that’s the world we live in though. It’s a fact that “gun free zones” are the most un-safe… so I’m definitely all for what these guys are doing.
2:40 – Unloaded backup gun in pocket carry. I thought this was a baptist church, not a synagogue? Israeli carry joke that may have went over some of your heads LOL. I wonder if that Glock is unloaded too?
3:08 – “Need any help bro? You sure?” – haha these guys don’t play
I was hoping to be able to make fun of some more stuff in the video… oh well you win some you lose some.
Thoughts? Probably a stupid question, but are you for or against church carry?
This is what they consider a “training warm-up” complete with fake Russian accents:
The video is titled “Shotguns a way of life”… so the “way of life” is that most of you miss basically ALL the shots you take? Cool way of life bro. I don’t claim to be king of the clays (because I’m not)… but this is really bad.
3:30 – Nerds and Skittles loads hahahha. Why not, after all they are warming up for some training.
6:00 – 10 Push-ups for muzzle sweeping a buddy. hahah yea no big deal, you could have just killed your friend… just laugh it off do the push-ups.
What’s with having the guy operating the clay thrower in front of the line of fire? The best was when the clay flew left, but luckily hunting camo guy had the quick foresight not to pull the trigger. They violate a lot of basically safety rules, and considering they aren’t new to this, and aren’t 5 years old they really should know better. Oh right… when you’re an operator you don’t need to abide by the same rules as the rest of us commoners.
The best shit that popped into my mind lately was “Hey I know that logo!”. Behold:
Yea ok it’s a bit of a stretch, but there are definitely lots of similarities.
Oh man… these guys are pure gold on multiple layers. It’s like a derp onion. Thoughts?
Rifle, bulletproof vest, extra magazines, zip ties, desert camouflage pants, and a knife. Those look like fairly nice houses in the background… mean streets of the suburbs though require such a tactical loadout for trash pickup no doubt. Someone better not spit gum on the sidewalk within this guy’s field of view or they might get a rifle shoved in their face.
Alright, what’s this guys ARFCOM or /k/ username? Does he read ENDO?
Seems unnecessary but if he’s within the law doing it then good for him I guess? I can’t help but think that this kid is going to get himself into some shit sometime when someone decides to punk him by taunting him to use his rifle, or else sneaking up on him from behind and taking it from him just to prove a point. I’m just throwing a couple scenarios out there which I doubt he’s prepared for…
