If you make your reactions muscle memory, and then practice them under limited stress (i.e. a stress shoot, etc.) your body should do what it...
Ok, here are my thoughts and suggestions. I have more time in the woods doing this sort of thing than most, for what it's worth. SHELTER 3...
Um, if I am going to use a shotgun in a fight then I want one of two things: A bunch of buck in each shell, or a slug that will keep going through...
Have you guys ever tried Quick Clot ACS? Our medics have it and are VERY reluctant to use it. Even quick clot ACS gets very hot, very quickly,...
Gunsmith: try out your peltors in your house, and make sure you can tell which direction noises come from. We had them issued to us, and after...
Get a 55X series. They are a lot more durable than the 51X series...I have already seen a bunch of 512's crap out (in Afghanistan).
The Ranger Handbook is the best place to start. It's FM 21-76 IIRC.
You typically want to occupy a point of domination in one of the corners. I don't particularly think it matters which of the far corners you...
I will wholeheartedly concede that the M-16/M-4 has some inherent problems due to it's design. However, those problems don't justify the removal...
Those things are retarded. You give up a tremendous amount of firepower and speed. It is a pistol on an extension with a video camera. You have...
I use an M-4 currently, and while I have had some jams, most can be traced to poor magazines, and I haven't had any problems since ditching those...
Wear them around for a little while at a time until they start to soften them up. It might help to moisten (not soak) the leather a bit and then...
We use both the HK mags and regular army issue mags as well. Honestly, I have about the same failure rate with both kinds of magazines. The...
Your needs will vary, but I highly suggest you: 1: Ditch the redundant stuff. Take one headlamp only. It is not an essential item anyways, so...
The benchmade infidel is a very well made knife. That being said, it is also very illegal for most people to carry. Oh, if you know someone...
Of course, it is ideal to have an endless supply of ammunition, food, cold beer, etc. But when you have limited resources and have to decide...
Do you think he ducktapes trauma plates to his chest? Good for him though.
I wasn't suggesting that you should only have 1,000 rounds because that is all that you can carry. I think it would be quite easy to consume...
I don't think stockpiling 20,000 rounds of ammunition is worth doing...if you are planning on using it for defense. It could be very useful as...
Beretta 92 magazines are very reasonable, are high capacity, and are reasonably reliable. Probably the best you will do with a modern pistol.
