Navy SEAL Rifle Slings with "Coch" and Dorr

This guide details how to access the often-stiff trap door compartment found on the buttstocks of M16A1, M16A2, and AR-15 rifles. Originally intended for cleaning kits during the Vietnam War era, this feature remains useful for storing batteries or spare parts on modern retro builds. The video emphasizes the need for a tool to pry open newer or stiff trap doors, highlighting a practical aspect of maintaining older rifle designs.

Navy SEAL Mark 'Coch' Cochiolo provides an operator's perspective on a range of US military rifles, from the Krag-Jørgensen to the Mk 18. He details historical context, technical features, and practical applications of each platform, emphasizing real-world utility over pure technical specifications. The presentation covers iconic firearms like the M1 Garand and M16 series, alongside modern systems such as the SCAR 17 and Mk 18.

This video compares the legacy MK18 Mod 0 with modern firearms, featuring insights from a Navy SEAL with extensive experience. It covers historical setup preferences, accessory choices like lights and lasers, and the effectiveness of older versus newer suppressors. The discussion highlights the evolution of shooting techniques and rifle configurations for combat effectiveness, concluding that the MK18 Mod 0 remains a viable platform despite its age.

This video demonstrates a concrete penetration test comparing the AK-47 (7.62x39mm) and the M16A1 (5.56x45mm NATO). An experienced shooter highlights the differences in projectile impact and concrete fragmentation, with the AK-47 showing more explosive results due to its larger caliber's momentum. The demonstration emphasizes safe firearm handling and proper range setup.

This guide details how a 10.3-inch barrel with a suppressor can maintain CQB maneuverability despite its effective 16-inch length. It highlights the advantages of a 12 o'clock top-mounted optic, referencing legacy Wilcox mounts and early optic choices like Aimpoint T1 and Docter Optics before the RMR became available. The information is presented with a tactical focus, drawing from expertise in firearm configurations.

This video details a Vietnam-era M16A1 kit build, featuring a suppressed configuration inspired by historical MACV-SOG and Navy SEALs units. The build utilizes an Allen Engineering M4 suppressor, a clone of the Sionics MAW-A1, and demonstrates its effectiveness at 200 yards. The instructor emphasizes critical safety protocols, particularly the mandatory use of hearing protection.

This guide details the automated progressive reloading process for 9mm Luger cartridges, as demonstrated on a Mark 7 Reloading Evolution Autodrive. It covers brass preparation, component loading (primers, powder, bullets), and the operation of a fully automated press that performs multiple steps simultaneously for high-volume production. The process emphasizes efficiency and speed, achieving a rate of 1,902 rounds per hour.

This video demonstrates a sniper stalk training exercise led by a former Navy SEAL sniper instructor. The drill focuses on stealth, camouflage using natural vegetation, and moving to a firing position undetected. The exercise highlights the importance of observation and the challenges of locating a well-camouflaged stalker.

This video humorously demonstrates a 'backup plan' for when a semi-automatic handgun runs dry. After depleting the magazine and the slide locking back, the shooter resorts to throwing a rock at the target. While presented satirically, it highlights the importance of situational awareness and creative problem-solving, albeit in a non-standard manner.
