Rifle Disarms by ICHF/OPS Instructor Steve Materkowski

[qs1994]

usually, the guy who is charged to carry a rifle is experienced, he will stand far from you 2 meters, especially military units, so just surrender. This situation often happens when a frightened guy got the rifle or you are robbed by guerillas along Amazon river, Colombia,..cheap ak47s everywhere, anyone can be a gunner

The problem is that you will face multiple rifles in a realistic situation. In history around the world, it happened that either armed soldiers or drug dealers killed unarmed people. No video I have seen so far has dealt sufficiently with the much more likely situation you have to face multiple(at least 2) rifle-one at your head's back.

Awesome video, but who the hell robs someone with a rifle?

Good techniques, but you should stress grabbing the hand-guards rather than the muzzle. If the enemy starts firing, or was firing previously, you'll end up burning the skin off your palm.

This technique is fantastic - clear, comprehensive, and devastating. Thanks for posting.

What do you do in the gunman has the weapon slung over his body with the strap?

[TTEVAL]

@Sharkman3472 Choke him out with the sling

[Sharkman3472]

@TTEVAL Good Idea! That would be a good move to see on a video demenstration.

@Sharkman3472 Straps are a pain in the ass, I don't know many people that actually use them since it REALLY restricts your movement.

[InternetSavage]

@Sharkman3472 Row out of it.

Great vid.

However, when you swing the ak to hit the guy you sweep your face with the muzzle, which is a terrible idea considering the firing mechanism is undergoing a shock when it hits his face.

[Domowoi2]

but what when he is to far away?

[CleanHappyGlock]

cool video, but what if the weapon is attached to a sling, like a one point.

[stealthbeast]

I disagree at 3:00 . Once you have the gun and distance between you and him, I think it's best to back up and point.

[shonuff9]

I agree with you, once you have the weapon get away from the guy while keeping your eyes and weapon pointed at him..

[sj0305]

Very thorough...After watching several of your videos and techniques, I am embarassed at what I don't know...Only thing I would iterate is these techniques are conplete and your adversery is down in 2-3 seconds or less....Your life or your loved ones lives are in dire jeporady in situations like this...Your reactions HAVE TO BE violent and deliberate....Great video - Great technique, Thanks.

I like the fact it is simple and you are basically using the same disarm for different situations.

There is nothing I hate worse than complicated moves that won't work under stress or with a non-compliant opponent.
