I know this guy...

THIS. If you aren’t going to look, don’t do it. Also, I love how people only left/right quick, there is a world behind you too! “Oh but my range won’t let me turn around with a gun”… Pfft.

I really dont care what other folks do more power to him

but I just dont see why anyone wants to video themselves doing this kinda stuff ? same as sex tapes then post it on the internet ?

maybe its a age thing ? might have done it jumping or jet skiing but not things like shooting and stuff

would rather just keep that stuff close to the vest so to say and not let anyone know anything about me or what I have same reason some here have brought up how some advertise what they have in a sig line ?

just dont get it ? especially the tactical logo thing at the end ?

As retardedly basic as some of this stuff is, it looks like stuff you’d see in a lot of action movies. For people who aren’t familiar with combat tactics, seeing videos like these put the guy in question on the same level as characters from “The Expendables.”

Uncle Rico . . . :lol:

Actually the mear fact that your scanning is a good thing even if you don’t actually see anything. One cop was saved because he did a quick scan side to side he did not see the threat but he looked like he was doing well enough that the look out turned tale and ran. He thought he had been seen. One thing I have noticed is those who are quick to throw out the biggest insults to a guy like this are the ones with the least real world experience trying to chest thump. It takes a certain amount to put yourself out there like this guy.
Pat

Needs a sling in his transition from primary to secondary.
Use both hands dude.

Shotgun didn’t look that bad to me but, that is really not my thing.

Pat,

You’re going off just this video (as is everyone else but me in this thread)

Guy is definitely trying, I’ll give him (and did give him) that.

…but he’s an idiot. Personally, socially, and “everyotherly” way. He is “that guy” who straps on a Blackhawk belt with his Glock and spare magazines and walks into the grocery store and claims to be a Tier 1 super duper operator to all the soccer moms.

Trying? Yes. Shotgun stuff didn’t look that bad. But he’s not even shooting at targets, just rapid firing into the bushes. How is that training?

I think you as well as he take yourselves a bit too seriously.

Because I know how to properly run one and can explain in detail that this guy doesn’t, means I take myself too seriously? I train with a shotgun but its not my go-to, I just enjoy really knowing how to run that weapon.

Ass-hats that do not are more dangerous to themselves and others by not having a competent level of training when selecting that (any) weapon, that’s not me being serious, it’s me being cautious. IMO shotgun is unlike anything else out there, the level of danger to others is very high I think.

It’s scary to think this guy might pull a shotgun from his car and run towards trouble and make a bad scenario worse because he thinks he’s an “operator” or whatever BS people call themselves today.

Absolutely and I agreed with 100% of what you said regarding the flaws and the overall idiocy of his presentation. It was your delivery that seemed a bit much, however it’s clear you know how to discern and likely utilize good technique.

Wow Noodles. We need to ban everything. I’m certain that guy is better at manipulating a shotgun than at least 95% of the folks out there.

Cool story, bro. I didn’t see him giving any instruction in the video saying he was a tier 1 operator.

At least he’s out there training and working on his fundamentals, instead of making stupid, pointless threads on the internet.

His primary to secondary transition wasted a lot of time…

He was out, looked at his ejection port, rotated the weapon as if Magpul flinging out the mag but he didn’t actually hit the mag release (which he should have since he spent the time checking the port anyway), then transitioned without a sling to pistol… Then when the threat was presumably neutralized, he holstered his pistol before checking to see why his primary went down. Which he already wasted time doing.

Also, he’s either really really fast, or he didn’t hit the bolt catch after reloading.
Eta: nm, he has a BAD lever or a ripoff of it.

In his second transition, his secondary also ran dry… “Luckily” his target went down at the same time, so he holstered his slide locked back pistol and reloaded his primary… Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

His first “secondary combat reload” he holsters before scanning. I think he has a lot of bad training scars, but is apparently making an effort to be better. Scanning after forgetting is a sign he’s fixing a mistake instead of just giving up.

The reason I’m critiquing is not because I think I’m better, but because it’s a damn video and you can reshoot footage until you get it perfect. Unless it’s video of a class or competition, you should be flawless.

I thought the dude who shot his leg and called his mom was more entertaining :slight_smile:

and kinda scary :blink:

not sure which one would be more dangerous trying to save someone :ph34r:
at least the leg guy has shot someone :fie:
to bad it was himself :suicide2:

LOL at this vid and thread. Made me grin - that’s good enough for a Saturday morning!
