That he drank the Chris Costa cool aid.
And that DTF stands for down to fuck.
Not sure that was all he drank, though…
You do the hokie pokie and you turn yourself about because that’s what it’s all about.
Its always fun to see people train on the shooting range with normal clothes and kit etc., but you rarely see them dress like a soldier or train like a soldier…..So I always ask myself what is the purpose for this training; is it for type PMC, maintaining or just to look cool at the range?
For me what ever this type of training is (not competition), it should be: Train as you fight!! and I would love to see a soldier throw the magazine as far away as possible and when you need to refill you need to run around picking up all magazines in or after the fight……Its easy to see how they are “training static” and not the whole scenario, if they train the whole scenario; I guaranty you it will be totally different and new ways of technics.
I know, looking cool on the range is Nr1, but……
LOL!!!
Ya, I also like to ever-extended-super-tactical-c-clamp grip … try holding that grip for any length of time while searching a three story slum in some third-world dump. Also not sure about how barrel-strikes will be accomplished with that support-hand at maximum extension.
Looking cool is Nr1 I guess ….
Couldent agree more, but looking cool is Nr1 😉

Train like you fight… I love this argument… lol

Every M-16 or M-4 I carried in the Army allowed magazines to drop free when I mashed the mag release button; and that was with nasty beat-up old standard issue magazines. So I don’t see any benefit to flipping the mag 5 feet away, when I can simply let it drop.*
*Disclaimer: I was a POG/Pogue, so maybe I lack the cool guy gene that allows one to understand the “tactical mag throw.”
OK ya’ll, I have never been on the receiving end of lead and pray I never am. I do train as often as I can and take as many classes as I can to learn what I can. I have never been told to eject magazines out as if they are possessed.
Now lets say after said battle I am still alive do I now need to chase down each magazine or is there like a field magazine caddy that goes out and gets them?
Call me crazy…but you can tell a lot of whats going on with your weapons by what trigger is doing or what it is not doing. Not sure why you always have to over rotate your weapon to make sure of something your trigger is telling you.
You flip the mag off to the side so you don’t stub your toes! Everyone knows that!
Last round ricochets and it sure sounds as if it were nearby…
Agreed.
Nice execution, more less sporting approach and setup. The guy is doing nothing innovative, but he did he’s homework at the range. Good for him, I don’t get all of you guys throwing shit at him. There’s nothing wrong with speed, that’s how you train for skill – time standards.
Mateusz, can I see that reload on a timer? Just one shot from empty? Wonder what the time is. And if you’d do it in a full kit, with all the heavy stuff on the rifle like dbal, supressor, launcher, with sling possibly getting in the way? And the worst time you got in ten reps not the best? If you get under 3 secs, it’s fine anyway.
NCO,
I will execute these drills asap. Thank you for your opinion, it’s more than fair.
The video is supposed to be clean presentation of procedure. Our approach. Just an option. You understand that. That’s highly appreciated.
Cheers.
Mateusz
Solution desperately seeking a problem?
Maybe I missed it, but did he put the weapon on safe prior to the E reload?
Doesn’t look like it. If he did, he’s the fastest I’ve ever seen at it.
I know there are different levels or steps of trainining but if my rifle goes mush in the middle of me firing…. by the time I diagnose the problem and flip out the mag I could have at least half a mag of pistol down range while headed for hard cover to get my long iron back in the fight…looking for healthy conversations not to criticize.
If you are in a house, distances are so close that it doesn’t matter why your primary went down, you just go to your pistol until you can secure enough time to correct your primary.
When you’re in the woods and your primary goes down, you tell your Ranger bud that you’re down, he picks up his rate of fire and you seek cover and correct your malfunction, then get back in the fight.
This……… ….. … .. . What does he do when he does that super fast McTwist and the mag doesn’t come out because a round flipped around in the chamber and wedged itself in the mag and the mag won’t come out. What’s your plan just standing there in the open at that point?
That’s happened to me before and at that point I just strip the old mag out when my hand comes up to insert the new one.
The reload looks good to me. His accent is also cool.
