This video provides a first look at the BCM 12.5" Standard Carbine, presented as the latest AR pistol addition to the family. The content emphasizes that no firearms are sold through social media, all firearms are unmodified and used on a closed range under supervision, and the video is for review and entertainment purposes. It includes links to the "Live Laugh Larp Podcast," social media channels, and music credits.
This video demonstrates the proper setup of a Blue Force Gear Vickers Combat Applications Sling on a BCM AR-15. Larry Vickers explains how to configure the sling for a muzzle-down hang, which is safer and more practical for transitions and hands-free movement. Key recommendations include attaching the sling to the outside of the stock and handguard, and placing the front attachment point on the rear third of the handguard to avoid interfering with accessories.
Larry Vickers engages in a unique "Rainbow Spray Paint" experiment using S&B Subsonic .300 Blackout ammunition fired from a BCM Carbine. The video highlights the dramatic visual effect of the subsonic rounds impacting and fragmenting cans of spray paint in slow motion. This creative display serves as a visually interesting, albeit unconventional, application of firearms and ammunition, with a call to subscribe and links to Larry's social media and website.
This guide details Larry Vickers' '50% Rule' for enhancing AR-15/M4 carbine reliability, as presented by Vickers Tactical. It focuses on four key steps: proper magazine loading (removing two rounds from full capacity), ensuring adequate lubrication of the bolt and carrier, confirming secure magazine seating with a push-pull technique, and correctly charging the weapon by fully releasing the charging handle. Following these steps is claimed to significantly reduce potential malfunctions.
This training focuses on carbine point shooting, a critical backup technique for situations where modern sighting systems are compromised. Larry Vickers, a highly experienced instructor, demonstrates how to maintain a proper cheek weld and use the weapon's silhouette to align the 'blob' of the front sight with the target's base. The technique is practical for older firearms and effective at close ranges, emphasizing practice under simulated sight-obscured conditions.
This video demonstrates advanced handgun and carbine drills using the Recoil Magazine Issue #18 target. Key techniques include eyes-closed acclimation for spatial awareness, rhythm drills for neuromuscular efficiency, and precision drills using 1-inch dots.
