This is the thirtieth installment of ‘Max Talk Monday’ which shares select episodes from a series of instructional videos. Max Velocity Tactical (MVT) has established a reputation on the leading edge of tactical live fire and force on force training. MVT is dedicated to developing and training tactical excellence at the individual and team level.
It is vital to understand how to react to effective enemy fire, but to do so in a way where you do not endanger your buddies or bystanders. It’s not good enough to be able to shoot fast, you have to be able to target discriminate and implement safety angles between you and members of your team. This video is an explanation of the problems of fratricide, safety angles, and a suggested drill to help you train. Do not confuse tactical cool-guy shooting with real tactical context. Train to win the fight!
Detailed explanations can be found in the MVT Tactical Manual: Small Unit Tactics.
