Would you participate in this training?

[T.Lex]

Kinda reminds me of the joke with the punch line, "Just don't poke me in the eyes."

So... no thanks.

It should be noted that these guys are not the only ones who train in 'live' situations with live ammo. It's not something to be 'feared' but it is to be respected.

Gotta have confidence in the abilities of your partners / team, and utter confidence in your own abilities.

Live fire exercises have their place but what they are doing in this video is just silly. I wonder if they are even hitting anything?

The only purpose I can see for this is a small group fighting their way out of a crowd...sort of like a Resident Evil scenario. They obviously are not considering collateral damage. Then again, maybe they are training for the eventual Chinese invasion which would be sort of the same.

I would do it in a group where I had a lot of confidence in every member. Not much room for error. I wouldn't be down with the flagging though. There would be constant muzzle discipline, not this sweeping straight through your buddy on the way to the next target. But I wouldn't do it at a random class where I just met everyone. It's risk enough just being on the firing line with some folks.

Woobie, you've got that right...there was this time during grenade familiarization at Ft Knox....

 

[rhino]

I do the same drill as shown in the video with a set of different strangers each time, but faster.

Oh, geez. Some people get around firearms, and especially grenades, and they become useless. Fear just paralyzes their minds and they become dangerous. Sounds like you've got a good story, and maybe a couple of gray hairs, from that, lol.

Well, if I get to pick the other team members, or know the team members well enough. why not?

It would certainly help train the participants to 'keep cool' with bullets whizzing by, which is what one MUST do in an actual gunfight.

If they are real lucky they'll get some practice functioning while wounded as well. Very operator. Might get shot on the street and need to stay in the fight so better get some reps in now.

This is why I have rhino kick me in the junk before every sparring session.

Wow. I didn't think his aim was THAT good. More than 3 tries is... you know... just having fun.

Yeah, the guy threw like a scared girl...no offense girls...we had to vacate most riki-tik the pit we were in which had just become down range.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

I would not participate in this training because I would find it difficult to follow instructions given the language barrier.

 

[Bfish]

I want to hear their reasoning for doing this, while I can see some possible reasoning I am seriously curious!

 

[printcraft]

@ 0:40 looks interesting.....

There are some in the States that should not watch this video..... lest they imitate..... tier 0 MF.

 

[Dirtebiker]

That looks plain STUPID!

You may have a language barrier and be confused on the street. Better get some reps in.
