Videos tagged with Gross Motor Skills

This video introduces the StopBox, a firearm storage solution designed for quick access using gross motor skills. It emphasizes responsible gun ownership to prevent children from accessing firearms, citing a tragic incident in Chicago. The StopBox is presented as a battery-free, electronic-free, and key-free device that is TSA compliant.

This discussion debunks several common firearms training myths, including the '3-second, 3-yard, 3-shot' rule, the idea that shots should surprise you (which is an ND), and the overreliance on 'slow down to get your hits.' The speakers emphasize that proper training involves pushing past comfort zones, mastering modern controls, and understanding that real-world scenarios often demand speed and efficiency, not just slow, deliberate accuracy.

This video delves into the debate between using a handgun's slide stop lever versus the 'slingshot' method for releasing the slide after a reload or malfunction. The instructor argues that while proficiency is paramount regardless of method, the slide stop lever offers greater efficiency due to reduced hand movement. The discussion extends to rifle manipulation, highlighting potential issues with over-reliance on charging handles and the importance of proper magazine loading to avoid malfunctions. Ultimately, the emphasis is on critical thinking, consistent training, and mastering the techniques that best suit the individual.

Instructor Mike discusses the practical considerations of choosing between revolvers and semi-automatic firearms, particularly for women, emphasizing the impact of stress on performance. He highlights the challenges of recoil management with short-barreled revolvers, the limitations of low round capacity, and the difficulties of reloading under duress without speedloaders. The instructor stresses the importance of training for human performance under stress, focusing on gross motor skills and big-picture threat assessment rather than precise aiming at paper targets.

This guide explains the mechanics behind why a firearm's slide release can be difficult to operate on an empty magazine, particularly on models like the HK VP9. It details how the magazine follower interacts with the slide stop and offers practical advice for operation, emphasizing safety and the importance of understanding motor skill degradation under stress. Instruction is provided by a professional firearms retailer and instructor.

This video from the VSO Gun Channel focuses on improving shooting speed by analyzing gross motor skills related to the trigger pull. As an educational resource, VSO Media LLC and VSOrdnance LLC aim to promote responsible gun ownership and safety. The description clarifies that VSO is not a firearms dealer and emphasizes objective content based on personnel testing. The channel also mentions that subject matter is often provided by manufacturers at no cost, but VSO retains creative control and the right to publish negative findings. They also state that VSOrdnance LLC offers paid testing and development services, but this does not influence VSO Gun Channel's content or audience access.

This video presents a satirical 'Gross Motor Skill Reload' technique, parodying tactical training with a humorous 'Russian' persona. It demonstrates a non-standard reload involving kicking the magazine release, retrieving a magazine from the waistband, and a forceful charging handle manipulation. While presented humorously, the underlying principle is to explore alternative, albeit unconventional, methods for firearm manipulation under stress, drawing parallels to video game mechanics.

This video revisits the concept of gross motor skill reloads for the AK platform, as demonstrated by Travis Haley. It humorously illustrates how extreme stress can impair fine motor skills, necessitating gross motor movements for weapon manipulation. The demonstration includes a 'strike and eject' magazine change and a 'foot charge' for chambering a round, highlighting a satirical approach to tactical training.
