Videos tagged with Threat Stop

This video from Geauga Firearms Academy debunks the myth of shooting specific body parts like the hand or leg to stop a threat. Instructor Kim explains that the primary goal of using deadly force is to stop the threat, not to kill. He emphasizes that under extreme stress, aiming for small targets like hands or legs is ineffective due to reduced accuracy and the presence of vital arteries in those areas. The instruction highlights that center mass is the recommended target area because it's the largest and most accessible under duress, a principle used by law enforcement and military. The video also stresses the importance of de-escalation and using alternative, less-lethal methods if available before resorting to deadly force.

This video clarifies the distinction between 'shoot to stop' and 'shoot to kill' in self-defense scenarios. The primary training objective is to stop the threat, typically by targeting center mass. The instructor emphasizes that the number of shots fired should be dictated by the necessity to neutralize the threat, not by a predetermined kill count. Legal ramifications are also discussed, highlighting how perceived intent can influence jury perception.

This video features a range test of the Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro 9mm pistol, focusing on its performance and reliability as an everyday carry (EDC) firearm. The creator highlights its suitability for concealed carry and demonstrates its capability for self-defense at distances up to fifty yards and beyond, emphasizing the importance of training. The video also serves as a positive endorsement, assuring viewers that the gun has not experienced any malfunctions or catastrophic failures.

This video emphasizes that the goal of using a firearm for self-defense is to stop the threat, not to kill. It highlights the legal and practical distinction between shooting to stop an assaultive behavior and intending to kill. Proper terminology is crucial to avoid legal complications when defending oneself.

This video from Fieldcraft Survival features Kevin Estela demonstrating the 'Failure Drill,' a critical self-defense shooting technique. The drill emphasizes transitioning from body shots to a headshot if the threat is not immediately neutralized. The video highlights the use of a new Fieldcraft Survival Target designed specifically for this purpose. It promotes Fieldcraft Survival's training courses, merchandise, and related content, including a pre-sale for Mike Glover's book 'Prepared.' The core message is about enhancing survival capabilities through practical, life-saving skills.

This "Into the Fray" episode analyzes a real-life encounter where a police officer faces a knife-wielding attacker. The video details the effectiveness of handgun rounds in stopping a threat, emphasizing the importance of continued engagement until the threat is neutralized. It highlights that Hollywood portrayals of "lightning-bolt effects" are unrealistic and stresses the legal principle of using deadly force to stop an imminent deadly threat, with the caveat that force must cease when the threat stops, but can be reapplied if it returns. The USCCA's mission and membership benefits are also promoted.

This video demonstrates how to enhance firearms training using Rubber Dummy targets, which offer a more three-dimensional and realistic representation of a human target compared to flat paper targets. The targets are made of a self-healing polymer, allowing for thousands of rounds of use with Full Metal Jacket ammunition. The inclusion of red packets provides immediate visual feedback on shot placement, simulating threat neutralization when hit in critical areas like the cranial ocular cavity or upper chest. This method encourages shooters to practice moving off the 'X' and engaging targets from dynamic angles.
