Stumbled across this video, and found it interseting. What do you guys think?

He appeared to be looking at the gun only during the entire mag change process.

 

[Hookeye]

The vid would have been cooler if it went bang.

Nothing new there...

Slapping mags out has been used for a LONG time...

Its in call of duty, so you know its legit.

I don't own an AK, so I'm gonna go try that with my 10/22

 

[netsecurity]

Wait...AK's don't have last round hold open?

 

[Robert Richardson]

I'm soooooo impressed!!!!

 

[IndianaResident]

Seriously though, I've used this when I had an AK that I just couldn't operate the mag release one with one mag. Works better than a thumb, but it wasn't for tactical's sake

Looks far too complicated to perform while moving to be of any benefit. Like a previous poster said, he was looking at the gun/mag the whole time anyway, not like it's keeping him on target any better.

I prefer the old standby thus demonstrated at an incredibly fast pace in this neato vidya (Skip to around 30 seconds)

I don't like how you would need to stay absolutely still for that. Otherwise, moving around would cause you to most likely drop the rifle. It seems too clumsy. I prefer how these guys do it

This makes a case for a left hand charging handle conversion are there any downsides to it? I don't have any experience with it, but all I can see is more access for dirt and no option for side scope mount because it would hit the handle.

Travis Haley's dvd "Adaptive Kalash" is a pretty sweet watch if you find a copy.

 

[Bigshep]

I don't see any use for this unless you're in some kind of competition and you're not moving, but still cant justify it. Can't even say that "looking cool" is a reason for using it. Because how cool are you going to look when you drop your weapon in combat or even just training?

 

[TheRude1]

I'll stick with Sonny

But this involves the guy holding the bolt open so they are holding the rifle in the pocket with just there fingers on the bolt and the recoil spring pressure.




Like others have said, ridiculous if you are moving or even under any kind of of stress. Too easy to drop the whole rifle.

Agreed, it is pretty good. Haley actual does demonstrate the Iraqi reload in it but pretty much says it is useless.

But if I was only going to buy one AK DVD it would be Sonny's Beyond the Firearm 2. The second one would be Fuller's new Armorer video with Panteao (much better than the original Armorer video)

yeah i agree prolly a big difference doing this in your kitchen standing still than with any stress, but hey to each thier own.

I'll check both of those out. The Haley dvd was pretty cool, but it's just not the same without Chris Costa there beside him poking fun at him.
