This video is a re-release of an original Tactical Rifleman (TR) training video from seven years ago. It demonstrates and teaches the military's PIT maneuver, a driving technique used to stop fleeing vehicles. The instructor, Chad, also briefly mentions that countering the PIT maneuver is taught in a separate class. The description emphasizes that this video is intended as a review for those who have already received hands-on training, as simply watching a video is insufficient to learn the technique. Viewers interested in learning the PIT maneuver and other driving techniques are directed to reach out to Chad at T1G.com. The video also includes links to support the Tactical Rifleman channel through Patreon and mentions their Amazon shop for gear.

This CQB training drill, demonstrated by Rob French of T1G, focuses on essential stock manipulation techniques for navigating obstacles like door frames. It emphasizes dynamic muzzle and buttstock adjustments to maintain a smaller profile and achieve accurate shots without flagging. The drill highlights the critical difference between static and dynamic shooting environments in close-quarters combat.

This video explains how bullets interact with vehicle sheet metal at different angles, demonstrating that low-angle impacts cause bullets to deflect at steeper angles or penetrate, rather than ricochet at the same low angle. The instructor, Rob from T1G, uses this phenomenon to advise on optimal cover positioning during a gunfight. He stresses that while vehicles offer some protection, understanding bullet trajectory is crucial for maximizing safety. Recommendations include prioritizing engine blocks and wheel hubs for cover, and maintaining a distance from the vehicle to avoid deflected rounds, especially when facing elevated threats.

This video details advanced techniques for shooting effectively from behind cover or barricades. Key principles include maintaining muzzle discipline, ensuring sight and muzzle clearance, and adapting firing positions for various openings like high ports, mid-level ports, and ground-level ports. Proper post-engagement assessment and understanding the impact of rifle canting are also emphasized for maintaining accuracy and situational awareness.

This video provides essential 'Load and Make Ready' and 'Unload and Show Clear' instructions for the AK-47. It highlights the unique safety selector operation and the 'rock and lock' magazine insertion method. The tutorial covers two charging techniques and emphasizes proper weapon clearing procedures for safety.

This video from Tactical Rifleman, featuring instructor Sid Jordan of T1G, details the 'Zipper Drill,' a non-standard response training exercise. The drill emphasizes realistic engagement by firing multiple shots from the pelvic girdle up to the head to ensure threat neutralization. It's designed to build proficiency in driving the rifle effectively along the center mass to head axis.

This guide details the immediate action drill for clearing common pistol malfunctions, as demonstrated by Rob from T1G. It emphasizes a systematic 'tap, rack, assess' procedure for issues like stovepipes and failures to feed/fire. The drill reinforces fundamental shooting stances and grip while ensuring rapid threat neutralization.

This review of the AK-47 highlights its historical significance, dating back to the 1940s and adoption by the Russian military in 1947. It emphasizes the rifle's rugged durability, loose tolerances for reliability in harsh conditions, and a chrome-lined barrel for corrosive ammo resistance. Key drawbacks include the lack of a bolt hold-open and less ergonomic controls compared to the M4.

This video demonstrates how everyday items can be effectively used as improvised weapons for self-defense. Instructor Chad Mormann of T1G showcases techniques using tactical pens, car keys, markers, plastic cards, and multi-tools to enhance striking power and create defensive advantages in close-quarters combat. The focus is on intensifying strikes and causing lacerations or pressure point effects rather than fabricating weapons.

This video details the practical considerations for carrying a knife for self-defense, emphasizing the importance of reliable deployment under duress. It compares spring-assisted, automatic, and manual folding knives, advocating for manual folders due to their reliability. The instructor breaks down the principles of a fast weapon draw, including pocket mechanics and the 'slap' technique, and discusses grip transitions for effective blade deployment.

This video demonstrates two speed reloading techniques for the AK-47. The standard method involves manual manipulation, while the faster 'sweep' method uses the fresh magazine to strike the release and eject the old one. Mastering the sweep requires significant practice to build subconscious muscle memory, with live-fire demonstrations highlighting its effectiveness.

This video details offensive driving techniques for ramming obstacles, focusing on clearing paths while maintaining vehicle operability. Key strategies include targeting the target vehicle's wheel or frame rail at its hard points, using a controlled speed of 15-20 mph, and maintaining forward momentum. Proper alignment and gear selection are crucial for effective energy transfer and avoiding self-inflicted damage or airbag deployment.
