You are bad shooter because you doing elementary mistake when you work with this rifle

[mathsprofessional]

I just love its firing sound. Should be put into a game.

[mozijadun]

best video of the day

[Anonymous2335]

Nice, is the color edited? It looks pretty vibrant.

[TheTacticalAdventure]

ahha FAIL look closly, their arnt any shell ejecting

[BearClawAK47]

@Realy? Does your Mom know your playing on the computer before the school bus get there? ;)

[weatherman386]

@TheTacticalAdventure their too fast to see

[Edsta713TX]

That style of shooting irritates me. I know it's what makes you a better shot but shit man, I can't stand it.

[klaiderkarek]

nice sound



[bansheekiller]

I'd imagine your thumb is getting mighty warm there, also, be careful doing that reload, you can easily warp the feed lips of the magazine, as well as cause the follower to do a nose dive. I personally grab the next magazine, hit the magazine release with my thumb, then stick the next magazine in, rack, then back into the fight.

[mec567]

How did you get that crisp audio?

[wavelength1970]

@mec567 I think the audio is good because the camera was far away but zoomed in...that's also why the background is out of focus.

[dukeofnothing666]

just curious....why dont you shoot the ak with the same style as the m4? is there better control doing it this way or is the barrel shorter or something?

[MichaelBarnes]

@dukeofnothing666

if i rolled my thumb over the bore on an AK i wouldn't be able to see my sights

[andromedarr]

@MichaelBarnes And woudlnt you burn your thumb on the gas tube, as this one's tube lies open, without cover from the handguard?

[cahyaterang777]

VIDEO HQ :) LIKE

[TheTitanium22]

Extreme saftey in this video. Nice set up and all. I like how there is no "so this is a gun, and it shoots...it has recoil", or other crap.

[xLowLightx]

ok I've done some time in the service and I've see two of your vids and i can see you've had more training in shooting them me but what about the elbow there man. isn't that still bad posture. just curious. Not trying to cause tension or a fight just curiouis.

[MichaelBarnes]

@xLowLightx

reducing fulcrum points for the muzzle to rise by keeping the arm parallel to the bore. elbow is placed outward so when drawing the rifle into the shoulder pocket the line of pull is straight back, while with the elbow downward when influencing the gun has a tendency for pulling low and left. for me it also allows my hand to roll higher on the gun.

check out my favorites, i have a video of Jason Falla giving his own quick explanation of the whole elbow thing

[xLowLightx]

@MichaelBarnes thanks its just new i guess, I've been out of the army for a few years now and never seen that. i just asked my sf buddy and he told me its a normal stance a lot use it. but thanks ill check them out.

[Anex130]

@MichaelBarnes Nice video Where did you Buy Yours From? My Friend has a Wild Hog Problem He wants to know something to handle the problem

[490Dodesheide]

@MichaelBarnes Very interesting technique... Love how your camera captures the sound of the gun. It sounds GREAT!

[barneyknowshow]

@MichaelBarnes very good everyone has their own little ways of doing things looks very professional to me

[BearClawAK47]

@xLowLightx I never did buy off with keeping the elbow tucked. They used to tell us we would get it shot off.

Try both styles cornering. With the elbow down you will expose more of your body.

Rather take a hit in the elbow then in the face. It also is more controlable for me with the elbow up. Good hits on target cut down the chance of the target getting good hits on you.

[xLowLightx]

@BearClawAK47 ya i was taught the same. yet for me its the only way i can now. but i think in the end it all comes down to what is better for you.

[John234pwns]

@BearClawAK47 If you expose too much of your body cornering, that's just a flaw of technique. I can't see how elbow location would make your torso any larger a target.

[TheSillmatic]

Dude... your elbow... it's so far up there it's obstructing your field of vision. Strange to be the high.

[MichaelBarnes]

@TheSillmatic

it's not

[redfirekla]

That looks smooth and solid... is that the 5.45 or the 7.62x39.. Looks like it would be just as accurate as any AR

[hyrman]

also, isn't it faster to continue shooting by not shooting the last bullet in the clip? i mean, if you have for example 5 bullets in the clip, then after firing 4 of them, the fifth is in the gun. so if you change the clip at this moment, then you don't have to make the reload movement at all (which would take a lot of time), because one of the bullets is already waiting in the gun.

of course counting bullets is difficult in the middle of the shooting..

[hyrman]

good videos! btw is that the right way to check if you're out of ammo in the end? you're still having your clip in the gun. shouldn't you reload the gun that you assume empty WITHOUT the clip to make sure? at least that's what i've been taught in the army. out of ammo --> remove the clip --> reload without the clip --> pull the trigger

[Grimmey0]

What camera do you use?

[scuds03]

love the metallic sound it makes

[pedrokn]

Your finger are bleeding?

[tzychess]

I just sold my VEPR-K a few weeks ago for $1000.

Just letting people know what the market can bear right now.

[veerut123]

how come the bullet case doesnt come out OR it does come out but FAST

[reDONKULUS121]

I mean what up with your arm

[reDONKULUS121]

Not be mean but wat wiht arm

[Dietdrshasta]

Who else thinks he looks like some serious Hollywood action movie star?

[pepsi4815162342]

Geil

[SoCalTactical]

Wow I love the sound of that brake. What brake are you using if you don't mind me asking?

[Alexanderexis]

What did happen, that You had blood on Your finger?

[SoCalTactical]

@Alexanderexis Happened to me last time I was out with an AK. Some sharp parts on it can cut you easily.

[boguebrad]

when you did the reload i could tell your used to the AR lol

[paraguitarmedic]

I'm an admirer of your vids.  Is that a 7.62x39? Or a .308 variety? I feel like my 7.62x39 doesn't recoil quite as much. Maybe that's exactly how it looks when I shoot it, though.

[TDONLEY91]

one of the many problems with ak type platforms is that the sharp edges on the gun are notorious for cutting you, as you can tell from michael barnes' finger

[joba606]

Good shit.



[ElTamex07]

Do a Modern Warfare 3 video!

[Alexanderexis]

You look like You was born with a guns :P

[shellz1221]

Lol first time with an AK style platform?

[cullen61918]

at 0:14 you racked a round in chamber reaching under the weapon, at 0:27 you went overhand. Which way do you normally manipulate the weapon? I like to go over the weapon, canting the rifle like how you would with the AR to have a clear view checking possible malfunction or stoppages.

[landoram100]

Is this what you do for a living? Would like to know more about the style of shooting you use never seen anyone grip their rifle like that, i want to shoot like that, is their a training video you put out?

[BURNCompany]

judging by the reload someone shoot ARs alot...

[AK107DX]

Your guns and camera are awesome. That is probably the most high-def camera I've ever seen in my life.

[Glockcrazy19]

did you buy this or borrow it? also random question, what do you think of piston AR's?

[f1rehawkZ]

I wish when i went to the range my gunshots sounded as metal as yours :v

[Blemo23]

Someone's accustomed to AR ergonomics. ;)

Dont worry. I'd make the same mistake haha. Great vid!

[gitrdonegit]

bloody fingers......happens to me every single time i shoot my ak

[BlackBarett]

0.14 This ain´t no AR dude!

Nice Video! Looking forward to the next. 

[xxk3str3lxx]

Not trying to offend you but It looked like you tried to go for the forward release :P I guess that just shows us the power of muscle memory :D

[xxk3str3lxx]

@xxk3str3lxx Forward assist sorry

[xxk3str3lxx]

@xxk3str3lxx Bolt release sorry I am on fail roll ATM :(

[ComeOnPelican91]

Oh wow, Michael's using a kalash variant. Looking good, sir!

[relaxfoo]

dude the sling attachment stub is f'ing up your index finger

[raglef1lagle]

Try for Top Shot?

[hidumboidiot]

Very cool!

Keep up the vids!

[jdmSRT]

Just wondering. What do you use to record it looks so clear and movie like :)

[JJandScopeey]

I have a friend who sometimes takes the mag out replaces the other mag and the cocks the gun with the first mag and then uses it as a grip

[igneous061]

that reload is so bad ass

[FatalTracerBurn]

Using the buttplate instead of the top portion of the mag is something to think about. The "lip" on the mag can get damaged if hit enough, especially with plastic mags. Great vid - they always look so bad ass.

[MichaelBarnes]

@FatalTracerBurn

i recently had someone tell me the same thing, or using my thumb when i'm bringing up the new magazine. definitely something to consider, thanks

[Threatty]

@FatalTracerBurn Ah the ol' tactical reload of the AK variant. We were constantly instructed to not do it in the Finnish Army, mainly because many would fail reloading even more if attempting this, but I still applied it always. I did however do it differently, by using my trigger finger to push on the magazine release and then just flip the mag gently off and insert a new one in, thus not damaging the magazine like you mentioned.

[Nater245689]

@FatalTracerBurn Just use your thumb. Using the buttplate just adds awkwardness to the reload.

[OTs03AS]

Looks like the charging handle is on the wrong side

[jeffshootsstuff]

Thumb on the gas block... doesn't that get hot?

[MichaelBarnes]

@jeffshootsstuff

yes, can't do that for very long

[PolenarTactical]

@MichaelBarnes

on my AK i use a magpul AFG and a side mount with a flashlight on the left side of the front grip

that way i can rest my thumb on the flashlight and not on the gas block

[Turkalj]

@MichaelBarnes If you train to do it when it isn't hot you'll end up doing it when it is hot under stress. You should use a different method.

[MichaelBarnes]

@Turkalj

under stress i wouldn't care or notice a little discomfort in order to gain increased control over the gun

[Turkalj]

@MichaelBarnes Had I never grabbed a hot M240B barrel on accident while under stress I would agree with you, but I've been there and I know better. Train as you fight.

[MichaelBarnes]

@Turkalj

in training when it gets hot i move my thumb, in a critical stress situation if i default to my thumb on the gas block after dumping three magazines and i'm not noticing heat transfer then awesome- i don't mind the increased recoil mitigation.

[DarkWorld2450]

What did you do to your knuckle?

[MichaelBarnes]

@DarkWorld2450

me practicing the reload where you hit the magazine release with the fresh magazine

don't have a lot of time behind the AK, so i ended up banging my hands on the magazine release a few times

[MRhacki101]

Very nice
