ISS Movie Guns 2019: Part 3

This video from Regular Guy Training LLC, featuring an expert speaker, delves into firearm reliability, specifically focusing on the impact of ammunition type on stoppage rates. The speaker, drawing on extensive experience with tens of thousands of rounds, highlights how 124 grain NATO ammunition significantly reduces stoppages in firearms like the Glock 17 and Beretta 92, which were designed with this ammunition in mind. Conversely, using lower-power target ammunition can lead to increased stoppages, particularly in firearms designed for hotter loads. Factors like cleaning frequency and ammunition volume are also discussed as crucial for maintaining reliability.

This video, from Regular Guy Training LLC, addresses the common perception of limited holster options for the Beretta 92. The instructor, demonstrating experienced authority, explains that a wide variety of holsters are available from manufacturers like T-Rex Arms, Tier 1 Concealed, and R.Designs, including OWB, IWB, and optic-compatible models. The key takeaway is to leverage community feedback and end-user data for the best recommendations.

This video from Regular Guy Training LLC addresses the 'logistics impact' argument against the Beretta 92, asserting that parts and modifications are readily available. The instructor, demonstrating experienced authority, highlights the ease of finding spare parts, aftermarket triggers, springs, compensators, and magazine accessories from sources like Langdon Tactical and Beretta itself. The discussion emphasizes that logistical concerns are often overstated for this platform.

This video from Regular Guy Training LLC delves into the nuanced reliability differences between the Beretta 92 and Glock pistols. The instructor, demonstrating experienced authority, explains that the discussion isn't about which pistol is universally more reliable, but rather understanding the specific weaknesses of each system. He highlights that standard reliability testing with ample ammunition may not reveal these differences, and that the Beretta 92's primary vulnerability lies in austere environments where grit can cause malfunctions, though it excels in general operation and ejection.

The US military's transition to 9mm ammunition was driven by several key factors, primarily standardization with NATO allies who predominantly used 9mm handguns like the Browning High Power. Logistical effectiveness, including lower production costs and lighter ammunition to carry, also played a significant role. Furthermore, the 9mm caliber offers higher magazine capacity compared to older service calibers like the .45 ACP, and studies indicated that soldiers, particularly those with less extensive firearms training, could achieve faster follow-up shots and place more rounds on target with 9mm handguns, contributing to practical effectiveness.

This video showcases advanced counter-terrorism training drills observed by Larry Vickers at the Dynamo Gun Range in Mytishchi, Russia. The drills, performed by an FSB Alpha Team member, focus on building operator confidence under fire and enhancing concentration amidst extreme stress, including simulated body armor impacts and physical harassment. Vickers highlights the high-risk nature and specialized application of these "Russia only" training methods.

This video features Larry Vickers and experts from Ohio Ordnance Works demonstrating the Browning M2 .50 Cal heavy machine gun, focusing on OOW's Quick Change Barrel (QCB) system. The demonstration includes live-fire tests against steel targets and a vehicle, highlighting the M2's anti-materiel capabilities and the practical advantages of the QCB system for ease of use and safety. The segment also contrasts the .50 BMG's power with that of a 5.56mm M249 SAW.

This video details a rigorous stress test designed for sniper proficiency, led by Navy SEAL Sniper Monty LeClair and Larry Vickers. The drill simulates high-stress, real-world scenarios, requiring participants to maintain accuracy after significant physical exertion and engage targets from unconventional positions. It highlights the importance of marksmanship fundamentals under duress, showcasing the capabilities of rifles like the BCM Mk 12 Mod 0 and SAM-R.

Larry Vickers, a former Delta Force operator, details the construction of an 'Alpha AK' clone. This build focuses on replicating the customized AK rifles used by Russian FSB Alpha operators, incorporating a blend of Russian and Western accessories. The guide highlights the importance of specific, often hard-to-find components like the Zenit rail and SRVV stock, offering insights into achieving a unique tactical aesthetic.
