AKs are not shit, most gas piston systems are a poor attempt to turn the AR into a mud gun. AKs are more accurate than everyone says and ARs are more reliable than most say. Stop the fanboy stuff.
@mr357 nope, i didn't fail. wording is important when it comes to teaching someone. correct words make the correct form. 'squeeze' implies light pressure, 'press' implies more pressure than needed.
now, you have to understand that he did not mention that. as a beginner looking on website, they would press on it and wonder why it isn't accurate. being a good shooter, you have to understand that there are many thing taken into consideration.
@Peterphilic "squeezing" the trigger taken literally will cause the shooter to engage all three knuckles of the finger causing a lateral movement of the weapon as opposed to a correct "press" strait to the rear. Squeeze doesn't imply a "soft" anything, unless you think the "squeeze" of a python is a gentle love hug. The tern press is used for a reason. Any real tactical training would have taught you that.
This is almost laughable. You can tell they're higher professional by the stance they use, the one that makes you sway from recoil. How slow are those mag changes?
I know all about holding onto the trigger. I am a mater at arms in the united states navy. I had a prob with my M16a3 a while back. My shots were not hitting where my front sights were aiming. My supervisor told me to stop jerking my finger away from the trigger as soon as I pulled (squeezed) it.... So I did. I pulled the trigger and held it and let it reset after the shoot was fired. It worked. My shots hit dead center mass. This guy deff knows what he is talking about.

you are wrong...although lead on target has no proper stance grip its all shooter preference.... plus ive shot at multiple targets with and without the mag grip..... so you should stop thinking your way is always the right way cause its not.....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the russian army teaches to hold the gun by the magazine for better controll in full automatic. perhaps you should stop watching these videos and take shooting lessons yourself. or are you going to claim that you know more about shouldering a weapon than it's designer and nation of origin?
the mag grip is not a more accurate position to hold a full sized rifle, it is only suitable for SBRs. the further forward your hand is holding the rifle the more stability you have when moving left to right.
elbows in doesnt improve anything, elbows in is to make yourself a smaller target while wearing body armor. infact i'm looking at my mcrp 3-01a right now, guess what it reads... maybe when you don't hold your foregrip like a tennis racket i'll start to take you a bit more seriously.

its prefrence honestly ....... besides you talk big but weres your videos i dont see any and if you have papers lets see them dont just throw around lies
t's not a matter of preference, it's a matter of physics, the closer your hands are while holding an object the less control you have over it while moving it back and forth. video up, learn up. what papers?
@Aresholewins Of course it gets hot that's what the wood/synthetic grips are for, but it certainly wouldn't catch on fire like some idiots seem to misconcept, even if it did only idiot would try to spray that many rounds only to mess up his piece
About Gabe, the instructor in this video. He travels the world and is paid big money to train police, military ect. He is a former CA SWAT office and been in more than one real life gun battles. Most of us couldn't even afford to buy the amount of ammo in a year that he shoots in a single week.
What you're saying is simply not true. The magazine well of an AK is around it's center of gravity, this is true for most military-style long guns. Holding onto the magazine well is no different than holding onto a vertical foregrip and it also allows for faster magazine changes on weapons with rock in magazines instead of drop free magazines. If it doesn't work for you that's fine, but it worked great for me when I was in the military and it works great for me now as a recreational shooter.
the difference between holding onto the mag well and holding onto a foregrip is that the foregrip is attached to the weapon further out giving you more control over the muzzle sway while moving left to right. it's not a matter of preference, it's a matter of physics, the closer your hands are while holding an object the less control you have over it while moving it back and forth.
It is a matter of preference, if it wasn't many professionals in the field wouldn't be doing it. Once again, if it works for you do it, if it doesn't don't.
what professionals in the field do you know? what are you? DEVGRU? Xe? ADS? most professionals in the field are running SBRs and carbines where a magazine grip is fine. fullsized rifles and SPRs NEED a further grip forward- i can't imagine how silly you'd be looking trying steady a 19 or 20inch barrel with your hands 3inches apart.
19 or 20? Try 16 because that's standard AK barrel length. I know several professionals and I used to be one, I can tell from your attitude that you are not and have never been. They don't run the magazine well grip because it's "fine" for SBRs, they run it because of personal preference, just like a lot of guys still use VFGs on SBRs despite the shortened barrel length. You could turn around and say people using VFGs on SBRs like Chris Costa are wrong with your logic. It's personal preference.
@LIbertyorDeath419 I would much rather take a Gabe class. Its not right for me to say its totally wrong, if i've never tried his technique, and know his methodology behind it. I think it would mess with my training though. I have taken magpul classes, and magpul mind set classes. cheers.
@ToLetTheWorldBe You will have a great time at any of his classes. His Kalashnikov Rifle Gunfighting lines of courses are incredibly informative. IMO, it would complement your pre-existing skillset.
I like it. he does one miss in the dvd though, she fires hes guns at some blocks, and almost every bullet has the same effect. problem is, the impact area of the block is small. after the bullet impacts it changs direction slightly which doesn't show.
I like the fire and maneuver they teach but "magazine retention" reloads are great are too slow for counter ambush type work(your life is worth more than an empty magazine right?) /watch?v=hnqkgI-wo4k

I don't like how they were gripping the magazine. The handguards are there for a reason. You have less control over the weapon with the grip shown.

@ToLetTheWorldBe Gripping the mag is for close quarters and for shooting on the move.
If you bought the DVD, you'd see that a more conventional grip was used for more distant firing positions (prone, sitting, squat, kneeling, etc)
