[jithin15]

the low ready is the patrol carry he is talking about, and the high ready is the low ready he is talking about.

[excurrahee]

@jithin15 uhm, no

[SaltyTank07]

Great vids I enjoyed. Thanks!

I went from playing with toy guns, to video games, to airsoft, to paintballs, now i have a gun license and im ready but 1 question i had about left/right handed, im a left hander and i feel more comfy when i pick up a rifle on the left side but I can shoot either way but when i do the strong eye test my right eye is stronger/accurate so which way should i shoot? right eye dominate or left side since its more comfy? my chief firearms instructor says i can train my other eye but its very hard so?

[excurrahee]

@oREDLINEo Try both and see what works best for you. It sounds like your right eye is not strongly dominant so I would probably work from the left hand, practice shooting with both eyes open. Look for a video on here called "shooting: both eyes open"

[oREDLINEo]

@excurrahee Ok I will try both eyes open shooting and see whats best but my first rifle is going to be a bolt action so i guess i can shoot either way right? Not like spent caseings will hit me in the face. Thanks for the advice good videos to

[ID663912]

@oREDLINEo My mom is kindof like that, right handed and left eye dominant. She shoots just fine she just cranes her neck to the side a bit more lying her cheek on the rifle to use her left eye. With a pistol she rests her head on her shoulder. Shooting instructors told her she should switch eyes or train with the other hand but why fix what isn't broken.

[northeasterntacman]

@oREDLINEo should shoot right side but still pratice with both

[KyleP133]

@oREDLINEo Im right-handed but left-eye dominant due to a weird eye problem that doesnt allow me to properly focus my right eye, so I generally shoot left handed. It works a lot better for me because I just cant see properly out of my right eye anymore, especially at distance. I think it's easier to train yourself to be ambidextrous than it is to fight limitations with your eye but that's just what has worked for me. You've probably figured something out by now anyway, though.

[excurrahee]

I don't understand why people watch this without watching Part 2 also

[Jwashere619]

Great video, Very informative

[curseofa5r5a]

i have a question for you, fire weapons are ilegal in my country, but im interested in improve my combat skills (history has showed that combat skills are usefull in a lot of situations, in my concern every citizen would know at least how to use a pistol), any way, i could buy an airsoft replica, the question is "can you use a replica to train some aspects of marksmanship and tactical shoting?" or its totally useless, htanks for your great videos

[excurrahee]

@curseofa5r5a Sorry it's taken so long to answer. Without access to real firearms I think airsoft stuff is about as good as you can get. Their have been several Japanese pistol competitors that trained at home using airsoft. You just need to understand the limitations of airsoft as a training tool and not become complacent because "it's not a real gun."

[curseofa5r5a]

@excurrahee nice, man thanks for your work, and for your answer, keep doing this, and thanks you again

[SaturnVader]

@curseofa5r5a Dude, I recommend P.A. Luty's Expedient homemade firearms. Use the .32ACP version because you can improvise your own ammunition. I was kinda like you, so i built my own submachinegun and ammunition in my police state.

[curseofa5r5a]

@SaturnVader wow thats pretty interesting becouse i think i need some firepower, but my question is, how much money and material did you use to build this gun and how can i improvise my own ammo?

[tonybermudez100]

you got the universal figthing position wrong. if you stand like that you'r out of balance. The corect way is with your feet shoulder wide apart the non fireing hand side leg to the front as if you were walking, the rest is corect. if you get hit with an 7.62 round in the otv (body armor) and you have yuo'r feet paralel with each other you'r most likely goin to the floor.

[XxXxYourselfxXxX]

Nice video dude. I subbed. Idk if you have hate for airsoft player like alot of firearm owners do, but this will be helpfull in my airsoft tactics anyways.

[excurrahee]

As a firearm owner I do not have a hate for airsofters. I wince at the prices ya'll pay for some of the guns, but hey my wife balks at my ammo cost. Some of the dress up and play acting on the websites I have seen strike me as odd, at least you're outside moving. Watch away and I hope it helps, the skills might apply to real guns some day.

[XxXxYourselfxXxX]

Okay cool. Im going to be purchasing my first firearm soon (Im under 18 so my parents obviously), and I was looking into a Mossberg 500, Persuader as my starting one. Any advice is helpful.

[Boneyman]

@excurrahee Airsoft was originally invented in Japan for their gun enthusiast because they can`t own any fire arms. I think it`s a great way to train since you can mimic your set up and train with people firing back at you.

[excurrahee]

@Boneyman I don't disagree. I even have a couple of cheap spring guns for practicing CQB stuff. It's the people who dress up and mimic the military and spend more on airsoft than I have on guns that freak me out. There business though, and its WAY better than people who spend hours a day on a video game.

[Boneyman]

@excurrahee Yea, here in Canada airsoft is about as expensive as real guns in the US. Of course airsofters only get the higher end guns because only the better ones are imported since the laws are so ridiculous with firearms and airsoft is classed as replica firearms. Just to give you an example, an AK74M is $540 Canadian.

[sailure1]

Good stuff. I would suggest using a sling ALWAYS while training. It will get in the way and you want that. You want to know about things that will effect your combat effectivness.

[excurrahee]

I agree, I don't always have one in my vids so people can better see what is going on. (especially this vid)

[fckudup]

nice viedos brother!

[danswordsman]

this is solid stuff man....great!

[excurrahee]

I'm glad it was helpfull.

[jeffhardyfanallway]

im 14 and own a M16 are you in the army i wanna be in the army 2 :)

[excurrahee]

Do you mean you own an AR15?  I was in the Army years ago (before you were alive sad to say) good luck if you join.

[jeffhardyfanallway]

isent the AR-15 different from M16? thanks for good luck man its good SOMEONE APREACIATES ME ON GOING INTO MILITARY!!!!!!!!!!!

[excurrahee]

AR15s are semi automatic, m16s, the various versions) are fully automatic. Am M16 costs around $15000 and very hard to legally own.

[mahshiz]

@excurrahee And they use a different round, m16 fires a 5.56mm NATO varient, while the ar15 fires a normal 5.56, you cannot shoot the nato round that the m16 uses with the ar15.

[excurrahee]

Not really, what determines what round they can use is determined by the rifling, not whether it is an M16 or AR. Modern M16s have a 1:7 twist which is optimized for larger bullets (up to 77gr IIRC) ARs have a 1:9 which will stabilize any 5.56 NATO round but the tracer. Other twists are available for ARs too. Older nato ball is 55gr, newer is 62gr.
