Duration: 6:19

This video details a CQB training drill inspired by SAS entry team tactics. The drill involves engaging multiple paper targets with a rifle (body and head shots) and then transitioning to a handgun to engage steel targets. The discussion highlights the effectiveness of rapid fire at close distances versus precise aiming when ammunition is plentiful and recoil is manageable, contrasting historical ammunition scarcity with modern carbine capabilities.

Quick Summary

This CQB training drill, inspired by SAS tactics, emphasizes rapid fire with modern carbines at close ranges. It requires engaging paper targets with body and head shots using a rifle, then transitioning to a handgun for steel targets. The drill highlights that with ample ammunition and low recoil, rapid fire is often more effective than precise aiming for scoring hits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary objective of this CQB training drill?

The drill, inspired by SAS tactics, focuses on engaging multiple paper targets with a rifle (body and head shots) and then transitioning to a handgun for steel targets. It emphasizes rapid, effective fire at close ranges over slow, precise aiming when ammunition is not a limiting factor.

How does this drill differ from historical shooting practices?

Historically, limited ammunition and higher caliber rifles necessitated a 'every round counts' approach. This drill, using modern carbines with low recoil and high-capacity magazines, advocates for rapid fire at close distances, treating the carbine more like a submachine gun for faster target acquisition and engagement.

What is the scoring criteria for the paper and steel targets in this drill?

Paper targets require at least one hit in the body and one hit in the head to score. Steel targets must be engaged until falling steel falls and static steel is hit at least once for a successful score.

What tactical lesson is learned regarding aiming at close-range targets?

At very close distances (e.g., 5 yards), excessive aiming can slow down engagement times. The lesson is to use rapid fire, confident that multiple shots will achieve the necessary scoring hits, rather than taking single, deliberate shots.
