Extreme Close Quarters Shooting

Ridiculous training videos have been a huge source of entertainment for me lately.

The danger and flamboyance in this particular video is startling. 0:57 to 1:19 seems like it would be better suited for an SNL skit.

It’s amazing no one shot the cameraman, or themselves.

I suppose understanding the context of this video and the one linked would be too much to ask. Especially in the linked video.

Basically, here they pretend they are action heroes. It’s the equivalent to the Star Wars kid.

how many times they could sweep each other?

Love the Synchronized CQB at 1:07. I give them a 9 … would have been a 10 if they threw they swapped guns in midair. Amateurs.

The CQB Baton/Knife video is just as entertaining…It’s hard to believe these guys are legit. In the time it takes them to do their firearm acrobatics they could get killed pretty quickly…

Agreed. They’ve obviously never been in a up close brawl. I’ve seen middle age women’s boxing classes move faster and hit harder.

I hope the CIA made that video to confuse Al Qaeda instructors.

HA! I totally thought that too.

GUN KATA! For when you need to stand in one position and never EVER get shot.

Looks like someone watched Equilibrium one too many times. Scary thing is, there are many that will take this completely seriously.

Teh Stoopid. It makes my brian hurt……

I assumed they were using simunitions. No?

I love the use of the long mag and “sprinkler” attack at 1:47. I was disappointed to not see any bumpfiring.

I was waiting to see the guy wrap free hand behind his head a do the “lawn sprinkler” dance:

In a close quarters self defense situation, adjusting your ear muffs is key to survival.

Anything to do with the CAR system, like these dudes, is a total joke.

Since you linked your previous video, though, I feel obligated to point out, once again, that SouthNarc is one of most respected names in the business, and his knowledge of what happens in fights and what people do when you shoot them is just a little better…

Well, that was interesting. I guess.

Close quarters shooting, and no shotgun? D:

Federale June 1, 2011 at 08:17 pm

LOL. It is like that stupid Israeli practice of carrying a pistol without a round in the chamber and doing that exaggerated draw and slide maneuver. Stupid and a waste of time.

Synchronized Shooting. Coming soon to the next olympics.
Perfect example of what not to do. I’m going to use this in a training class!

You think anyone ever watched Equilibrium and decide to make a training video?

Take a look at the mag in the closer-guy’s magwell around 1:10-1:15 – it’s SAFETY BLUE (e.g. “Inert”). And yet he’s firing rounds out of it. Anyone else see something fundamentally wrong with that?

And yeah, serious GUN KATA here….

Reply

Dave June 7, 2011 at 01:46 pm

Yes, there was something fundamentally wrong with that. Among other things… lol.

Gun Kata was the first thing I thought off too, then I thought “hope they have a tax stamp for that SBR”

Because NFA laws are applicable to Europeans, right?

One thing I didn’t get was at 1:30 or so, during those reloading drills. The foreground guy drops a mag, slide still forward, loads in a new mag, and then racks the slide.

One would think that this ULTRA TACTICAL SCHOOL OF TACTICAL COMBAT OPERATIONS would have taught them to not waste rounds.

See, you laugh, but if he’d had the Glock Pistol Bayonet attached, that target would’ve been punched through and through:

The stupidity amazes me. Reminds me of the folks I saw shooting at a Tenessee range that had been “trained” by a martial arts “expert” to use the edge of their slide to aim instead of sights. They held their guns cocked at a 45 degree angle when firing.
