This seems like a safe place to train.

I can't stop laughing at the Yakkety Sax

I like how someone is working the downrange camera.

 

[Liberty1776]

I couldn't stand to watch it... somebody there needs a slap upside the head...

 

[Twiki357]

I liked the music.

 

[Hawthorne2k]

The sad thing is, that was an actual training promotional video before other people added the content-appropriate soundtrack to it.

And while it's hard to pick a "worst moment" from that video, for me, it's right here, where our elite tactical operator PUTS AWAY HIS PISTOL and draws not one, but TWO knives.

*facepalm*

 

[bthest86]

What was that tactical ninja maneuver around 1:26? Did he pull out some knives or what?

Someone should make that into a GIF.

Here's the video from the Actual Schools channel, notice the reciprocating charging handle.

What's the point of a kneeling stance?

No wonder Detroit is such a dangerous training facility if these are the people training the PD.

 

[RNB65]

That is HILARIOUS!!!

 

[Dulvarian]

The laying down shots seemed to go right over the berm. ~ 0:50 mark. The rest seemed kind of goofy, but... That part seems pretty unsafe. Whatever tactics you are teaching, if you violate basic handling, you are setting yourself up to make a mistake.

 

[Spec ops Grunt]

Their whole channel is stuff like this, it's hilarious and horrifying at the same time.

 

[MDH90]

I'm just blown away at some of the stupidity in that, if I ever found myself in a class like that I would walk out immediately.

 

[Alec]

What's it mean if the charging handle reciprocates like that? Bad latch?

 

[AethelstanAegen]

Here they are in all their Mall Ninja glory: http://www.threatmanagementcenter.com/Index.html

Words fail me at times like these. I feel like they might have a good shot at a Darwin award though.

 

[zedsdead]

You could hire one of these dudes to be your bodyguard:

[Dr.Rob]

You all sure that wasn't training in the Phillipines or someplace?

 

[Husker_Fan]

Hmm... There is some high level and useful stuff in there. For instance, it's pretty brilliant to send your dumbest friend through the door with no regard to what is around the corner. That way, you can go in when the bad guy is reloading.

 

[rcmodel]

I get a kick out of the exaggerated head swiveling after action while checking your six on both sides.

Every Tackycool trainer on TV does it too.

I think the guy on the ground you shot is far more likely to revive enough to kill you.
I'd keep my eyes on him for a while!

Somebody else that wasn't already there coming out of nowhere off to the side seems like a far lesser risk to me.

[CmpsdNoMore]

There website is horrible!
So...Many...Buttons...

Also, the video they have on the front page is funny. The guy "holding" the shotgun just stands there while the other guy takes it.

 

[average_shooter]

You all sure that wasn't training in the Phillipines or someplace?

Nope. Straight from Detroit, MI.

 

[Tommygunn]

Well, all I can say is ... I've always liked Yakety Sax .....

 

[brickeyee]

Editing and a remote control camera.

Shooting over the 'downed' person was dangerous, but not all that unrealistic.

It had the typical exaggerated look both ways after you fire the target head turning.

Pretty good muzzle control just about everywhere.


If is is a higher level class it might be acceptable.

For entry level it would be really bad.


"Whatever tactics you are teaching, if you violate basic handling, you are setting yourself up to make a mistake."

So you think the gang is going to just stand n front of you in a nice line to be shot?

If hey are training for BG type work, any event involving actual shooting is going to be havoc, if not before the first shot surely after it.

Are you going to shoot at the guy with a gun pointed at you with 'no shoot' target behind or stand there and soak up bullets?

 

[Dr.Rob]

No some of it I figured ok.. live fire exercises.. every SWAT team does that.

But when to I get to be a "special agent Viper Cobra Mamaba team leader"? I'd like to know but apparently I'm not even allowed to SEE who my istructors are! But they have cool names like Zodiak!

Like really? What kind of air soft mall cops need a full auto M-4 for this: The services we provide vary greatly from court escorts to trips to the grocery store.

I know Detroit is rough but I don't think its at the pointwhere it needs NInja Force Anaconda Prime to get a loaf of bread and some eggs. The uber rich have servants for that sort of thing.

Hey what tactical shotgun for crossing guard duty?

Which nunchucks for helping a little old lady cross the street?

Which GPMG for food court fields of fire?

SERIOUSLY these guys are like a bad live action GI JOE Movie. Remember Megaforce? All thats missing is the headbands and gold lame` stretch jumpsuits. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084316/

Either that or this is totally a COBRA front. I mean look at all the snake names! You know Destro could be teaching at this place.

Teehee

Bump for an answer to this question. (I do not know much about AR's).

 

[oldfool]

next best thing to CoD tacticool , I reckon

but teenage ponytail was sort-of-cute, and at least checked to see if "special agent Viper Cobra Mamaba team leader" (aka Gecko45) was about to shoot her in the back
(which looked fairly likely, at least once)
