This video emphasizes the importance of a well-rounded training approach for prepared citizens and professionals, advocating for the integration of both competition and tactical shooting skills. The speaker, from Barrel & Hatchet, argues against rigidly adhering to one discipline, highlighting that neglecting either can lead to critical skill gaps. The content stresses that true preparedness involves continuous learning, incorporating tactics, marksmanship, survival, and medical skills, rather than getting caught up in internet drama between different training camps.

This video from SHOT Show 2026 highlights key industry trends. Experts discuss a shift towards rising pistol sales and declining long gun sales, increased interest in suppressors due to tax stamp changes, the evolution of airsoft for affordable firearm training, and the importance of integrated retail POS systems for FFL compliance.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, led by John Lovell, demonstrates a unique parenting approach using 'war games' to foster resilience in sons. The training involves tactical scenarios with children using HMMWV vehicles and airsoft replicas, incorporating dismount drills, movement, and basic field medicine. The emphasis is on building strength, endurance, and teamwork through engaging, hands-on activities, framed as a method to prevent perceived 'weakness' or 'wokeness'.

This video explores the potential benefits and limitations of using airsoft for firearms training. While airsoft can offer valuable force-on-force scenarios for practicing movement, gear assessment, and basic tactics in a safe environment, it falls short in simulating critical aspects like recoil management, realistic engagement distances, and the true sense of urgency found in live-fire situations. The speaker emphasizes that airsoft should supplement, not replace, traditional firearms training with qualified instructors.

This video, titled "How Often Should You Train In Kit? #airsoft #2astrong #guncommunity", focuses on the frequency of training while wearing tactical gear, likely within the context of airsoft or similar simulation environments. The hashtags suggest a connection to the broader gun community and a specific training philosophy or brand ('2astrong'). The content aims to provide guidance on optimal training schedules for individuals engaged in activities that require them to wear a full kit.

This two-day AMTAC Shooting Vehicle Carbine Course focuses on practical application of carbine skills in vehicle-centric scenarios. Day one involved live fire, covering functional zero, compressed fundamentals, and vehicle egress/cover fire drills. Day two utilized force-on-force with airsoft to simulate small unit tactics, flanking, and responses to ambushes and illegal checkpoints.

This video demonstrates a shooting technique focused on controlled breathing and slow, deliberate trigger manipulation for improved accuracy. The instructor emphasizes exhaling completely before a slow pull to minimize movement. The session appears to be part of an airsoft training or marksmanship practice.

This guide offers expert advice on introducing partners and children to shooting ranges. Key principles include prioritizing safety with strict rules, starting with airsoft or manageable firearms like .22LR, and using engaging targets. The advice emphasizes making the experience fun and driven by the new shooter's interest, rather than forcing participation, and suggests equipment like tripods for younger shooters. Responsible firearm handling should be normalized at home to demystify guns and foster respect.

Ben Stoeger addresses training challenges for individuals with restricted firearm access. He recommends using realistic replicas or airsoft guns for consistent home practice. This allows for skill development in drawing, aiming, and trigger control, which can then be applied when live firing at the range. The core principle is consistent repetition of fundamental skills, even without live ammunition.

This video tests the '21-foot rule' in a civilian self-defense context using an airsoft gun and a simulated knife attack. The experiment suggests that 21 feet may not be sufficient distance to safely disarm an attacker, as the defender was 'killed' (shot with airsoft) but also 'stabbed' (simulated). The takeaway is that maintaining greater distance than 21 feet from a violent aggressor is advisable.

This video challenges the notion that training with airsoft, dry fire, or laser targets is unrealistic. Instructor Chris Sajnog argues that traditional range training, where targets are static and do not return fire, is also not entirely realistic. He advocates for learning at home, suggesting that while live fire is necessary for verification, the range is not the optimal place for initial training.

This video highlights the Self-Defense Emporium in Palmetto, Florida, a comprehensive training facility. It features a large simulator, a shoot house for various training modalities (laser, airsoft, simunition), a gun shop, and a coffee shop. The facility offers private lessons and concealed weapons classes, aiming to be a one-stop shop for self-defense needs.
