Videos tagged with Ammunition Conservation

This video demonstrates an efficient reload drill for the AR-15 platform, designed to maximize practice repetitions with minimal ammunition. The drill focuses on activating the bolt catch and executing a smooth magazine swap. Instruction is provided by a Palmetto State Armory representative, highlighting proper technique and training economy.

This video provides a strategy for conserving ammunition during a widespread power outage. The presenter emphasizes conducting an inventory, prioritizing the smallest effective caliber for each task, and understanding when to use ammunition freely versus sparingly. It also touches on trading or selling less common calibers for more prevalent ones.

This guide explains five key reasons to use a boresight for zeroing your rifle, emphasizing time and ammunition savings. It details how a boresight, like the Tactical Elite, uses a laser to pre-align optics, allowing for more efficient training and practice. The process can be done at home, saving trips to the range and reducing the number of shots needed for initial zero.

This video, referencing TC3-22.9, outlines target prioritization principles for engaging multiple threats. It categorizes targets into Most Dangerous, Dangerous, and Least Dangerous, and provides a framework for engagement order based on proximity, orientation, and movement status. The core principles are 'Near before Far,' 'Frontal before Flank,' and 'Stationary before Moving,' emphasizing ammunition conservation and controlling the engagement's pace.

This guide details how to zero a red dot sight on a firearm using a bore sighter, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. The process emphasizes pre-range preparation to save ammunition and time. It covers selecting the correct adapter, aligning the laser with the optic, and making precise adjustments for accurate zeroing, particularly highlighting a 1.2-inch offset technique for a 25-yard zero. The speaker, exhibiting high authority, provides practical, technical instructions for this specialized task.

This video explores the advantages of single-shot firearms, highlighting their compactness, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness. The speaker, drawing from personal experience, emphasizes how single-shots encourage deliberate shooting, conserve ammunition, and are excellent for introducing new shooters to firearms due to their inherent safety features and manageable recoil. The CVA Scout in 300 Blackout is used as a primary example.

This video advises firearm owners to significantly reduce live-fire practice and focus on dry firing to conserve ammunition, especially in anticipation of potential supply shortages and price hikes related to upcoming elections. The instructor recommends a prepper mindset, stockpiling at least 2,000 rounds of handgun ammunition, specifically 124-grain Full Metal Jacket, and utilizing dry fire drills with a shot timer to maintain proficiency without depleting resources.

This guide details the installation and use of the Mantis Blackbeard dry fire training system for AR-15 platforms, as demonstrated by Johnny Q. It allows for indoor rifle training by simulating live fire with an auto-resetting trigger and laser pulse, saving on ammunition costs and enabling rapid practice. The system is presented as a practical solution for maintaining proficiency at home.

This guide details the use of the CVLIFE laser bore sight for AR-15 platforms chambered in .223 Remington or 5.56x45mm NATO. It covers the simple installation process, battery requirements, and the benefits of using a bore sight for initial optic alignment to save time and ammunition at the range. The presenter emphasizes its utility for red dot sights and scopes.

This video demonstrates a live-fire shooting drill focused on improving trigger control and follow-through. The drill emphasizes accuracy by firing a single round from the chamber and then performing a dry fire "click" to simulate a second shot, helping shooters maintain sight alignment and a consistent trigger press. It's designed to conserve ammunition, particularly relevant during times of scarcity, and includes variations for different skill levels by adjusting target size and distance. The drill specifically requires a pistol without a magazine disconnect safety.

This guide details a laser-assisted technique for zeroing rifle scopes, demonstrated by Naaming Kotchanok, a recognized firearms content creator. The method involves using a laser to quickly align the scope's reticle with the bullet's point of impact, significantly saving time and ammunition. The process is explained step-by-step, emphasizing precision and efficiency for accurate shooting.

This guide details how to cold bore sight a red dot optic on an AR-15, a technique taught by former Navy SEAL Mark 'Coch' Cochiolo. It emphasizes saving ammunition by achieving a close-to-zero alignment before live fire. The method involves physically aligning the optic with the rifle's bore, making it an efficient process for initial setup.
