Gentlemen these are "Firearms" not "Weapons". They are only weapons if used as such. Please stop giving the liberal media more ammunition for their assault on gun ownership. As instructors you should know better. At least you didn't call it an "assault rifle", also which it is not!

@olddragonheart Whether it is appropriate to use the word “weapon” is a matter of context. At Gunsite the instructors are training people to use a firearm for protection and self-defense, therefore referring to the firearm as a weapon is appropriate. If they were teaching a hunter safety course or how to break a flying target on a sporting clays range – well then it would be foolish to call the firearm a weapon. Just as it would be silly to call a baseball bat a weapon during a baseball game.

I'm glad that somebody has finally tried to put a stop to that business of smacking the bottom of the magazine. All that will do is dislodge the top round and then you have a double-feed. I have run ranges and have seen that happen more times than I can count.

@raqtrhorses1 The USMC taught us tap, rack, bang. hit the mag, rack the bolt, and squeeze. this is more for the beginner non-combat shooters it seems.

@oldeafcoot My ak mags can be used as a hammer and no round will pop out of them...

@MrShabong

I caught that too, as soon as he said it.

US ARMY taught the SPORTS method. 1 (S) Slap the bottom of the magazine with the bolt closed. 2 (P) Pull the charging handle. 3 (O) Observe the chamber for miss fed rounds. 4 (R) Release charging handle to reload weapon . 5 (T) Tap the forward assist. 6 (S) Squeeze the trigger and go boom!

@Desenrolle lightningman01's point is still valid. This is a drill that should be practiced, but not when you have a mis-fire. You should always adhere to the 60 second rule when at the range or whenever you're not in a life threatening situation. This video would have been better had it pointed this out. Obviously you're not going to wait if it's a life threatening situation, but this video is about a drill.

Mark Thomas and the NSSF should be careful to check the advice given in their videos they release as at the end of the video Mark says "Push Pull Rack Roll" rather than what the gun site instructor was teaching i.e. "Push Pull Roll Rack"
