This Q&A session for Desert Brutality 2020 covers various match divisions, rules, and gear. It clarifies the allowance of Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs) across divisions, emphasizing their potential accuracy limitations compared to rifles. The discussion delves into the Retro and Classic divisions, detailing acceptable firearms and gear from specific historical periods, including restrictions on modern accessories like rails and ambidextrous safeties.

This video discusses the differences in gear and equipment between three-gun and two-gun action challenge matches. The primary distinction lies in the inclusion of a shotgun in three-gun, which necessitates specialized gear like bandoliers and shell caddies. Two-gun matches, often more physically demanding, require gear with superior retention, as standard three-gun holsters can be impractical. The overall gear philosophy shifts from competition-specific in three-gun to more practically oriented, field-ready equipment in two-gun.
This guide details Stage 1 of the Finnish Brutality 2018 competition, a challenging two-gun drill combining a weighted drag with rifle burpees and pistol transitions.

This video discusses the pros and cons of using battle belts versus plate carriers and chest rigs for two-gun action challenge matches. The consensus leans towards battle belts for their modularity, ease of use, and ability to carry essential items like pistol holsters and dump pouches without the bulk of a plate carrier. While plate carriers are necessary for specific armored divisions or real-world scenarios, they are generally considered uncomfortable and hindering for speed and agility in competition. The discussion emphasizes that gear choices should prioritize functionality and speed for the specific application.
