This expert-level guide from GBRS Group, led by instructor Andrew, details advanced techniques for using barricades effectively. It emphasizes maintaining optimal distance, utilizing peripheral vision for threat detection, and dynamically moving around cover to maintain situational awareness and control all angles. The instruction highlights how stepping back from cover can improve safety and tactical options.

This expert guide from Tactical Rifleman breaks down the critical decision-making process between reloading a rifle and transitioning to a pistol. The instructor emphasizes that the optimal choice depends heavily on distance to the threat and the availability of cover. At longer distances (100m), reloading the rifle is paramount, while at close ranges (10m) without cover, a pistol transition is faster and more effective than dealing with potential rifle malfunctions.

This video provides an expert-level CQB drill from Tactical Rifleman, focusing on navigating confined spaces and utilizing cover effectively. The instructor, demonstrating advanced tactical knowledge, explains techniques like 'gluing' the muzzle to a corner and 'pying' to understand movement dynamics. The drill emphasizes situational awareness and avoiding common mistakes such as crowding cover.

This video demonstrates universal shooting standards, emphasizing under one-second engagement times from high and low ready positions.
