This video argues that Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs), Personal Defense Weapons (PDWs), and submachine guns are ideal for WROL/SHTF scenarios. It details historical precedents, optimal kit setups emphasizing magazine compatibility and ammunition availability, and the philosophical advantages of PCCs over traditional rifles in terms of weight, maneuverability, recoil, and logistics. The instructor highlights the prevalence of 9mm and Glock magazines as key factors.

This guide details how to securely mount a push-to-talk (PTT) device onto tactical gear, specifically plate carriers. It covers two primary methods: direct attachment to MOLLE webbing using a sling keeper and an alternative method for slick-front carriers. The instructions emphasize a low-profile, durable, and simple installation process.

This video debunks the concept of 'battlefield pickups' or 'loot drops' as a primary strategy in firearms training and preparedness. The speaker, drawing on extensive military experience, argues that focusing on such scenarios is misguided 'fud lore'. Instead, individuals should prioritize mastering their primary equipment and understanding fundamental combat drills like reacting to contact and breaking contact, as battlefield pickups are highly improbable and impractical due to weapon and gear damage.

This video emphasizes that high-end gear does not compensate for poor marksmanship. The speaker, an experienced shooter and instructor, prioritizes consistent dry fire practice (3-4 times weekly) for reloads, transitions, and malfunction drills. This is followed by live fire training (200-500 rounds/month) focusing on fundamentals like zeroing, mechanical offset, and transitions. Attending competitions (monthly) and reputable formalized training courses (Pistol 2/Rifle 2 level) are also highlighted as crucial for skill development, contrasting with excessive focus on kit upgrades.

This guide breaks down kit setup into three tiers: Level 1 (belt kit) for survival, Level 2 (plate carrier/chest rig) for fighting, and Level 3 (backpack) for thriving. The speaker, with 11 years of professional experience, emphasizes strategic distribution of essential gear like ammunition, water, and medical supplies across these levels to ensure survivability, combat effectiveness, and the ability to operate long-term.

This review compares the FN M249S and Fightlite MCR, two civilian-accessible belt-fed 5.56mm platforms. It details their operational differences, including the M249S's robust military design and the MCR's modularity and lighter weight. Key aspects like link management, dual-feed capability, and practical kit setups are explored, offering insights into their tactical utility and civilian application.
