Stage 5 - BMP Escape | Finnish Brutality 2019

Published on September 30, 2019
Duration: 17:20

This stage from Finnish Brutality 2019, 'BMP Escape', is a demanding tactical shooting drill. Competitors start inside a BMP, engage pistol targets, then transition to a rifle to neutralize multiple steel targets and move equipment (dummy and ammo cans) under adverse conditions, including rain. The stage emphasizes speed, accuracy, and physical exertion, requiring shooters to manage equipment and maintain focus in a challenging environment.

Quick Summary

The Finnish Brutality 2019 'BMP Escape' stage is a tactical drill where shooters start in a BMP, engage pistol targets, then transition to a rifle to neutralize steel targets and move equipment. Rain presented significant challenges, affecting visibility and causing optic failures, highlighting the importance of reliable gear like closed-diode sights for adverse conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main objectives of the Finnish Brutality 2019 'BMP Escape' stage?

The 'BMP Escape' stage requires competitors to start inside a BMP, engage pistol targets, egress, then use a rifle to neutralize multiple steel targets. It also involves moving a dummy and heavy ammo cans to designated safety areas, demanding accuracy, speed, and physical endurance under challenging conditions like rain.

How did rain affect performance in the 'BMP Escape' stage?

Rain significantly impacted visibility for many shooters. Water on glasses and fogging of optics, especially open reflex sights, made target acquisition difficult. Some competitors had to switch to iron sights when their optics became unusable due to water ingress or fogging.

What are the penalties for the 'BMP Escape' stage?

Penalties in the 'BMP Escape' stage include failing to properly position the dummy behind the bunker, not bringing all four sand-filled ammo cans to the bunker, and leaving any pistol pepper poppers engaged. Any targets not hit the required number of times also incur penalties.

What type of optics are recommended for stages with adverse weather conditions?

For stages with potential rain or water exposure, closed-diode optic systems like Aimpoint or EOTech are generally recommended over open reflex sights. These sealed systems are less susceptible to water ingress that can obscure the emitter or fog the lens, ensuring better reliability.
