This guide details Brad Geary's preferred 36-yard zero for tactical rifle applications, emphasizing its practical benefits for combat accuracy. Instruction from a firearms expert highlights how this zero minimizes ballistic drift, allowing for reliable center-mass hits in high-stress situations. The focus is on practical effectiveness over extreme precision for assaulters.

This video demonstrates an advanced shooting drill utilizing the Viking Tactics (VTAC) board at 200 yards with an AR-15. The drill emphasizes proficiency in barricade shooting, requiring shooters to engage targets from various ports (center, slant, side) while managing recoil and maintaining stability. The instruction is delivered by a US Navy Veteran, showcasing experienced-level techniques for engaging steel plates at distance.

Lucas Botkin, demonstrating expert-level proficiency, executes a challenging 200-meter shooting drill at the Element Training Complex. The drill involves engaging steel targets from diverse barricade positions and heights using a suppressed AR-15 equipped with an Aimpoint optic and the new ADAPTIV Rail Prototype. Botkin's performance highlights effective movement, stability, and precise target engagement, completing the drill in an impressive 2:06.0.

Instruction from Jeff Gurwitch, demonstrating expert-level knowledge of tactical shooting mechanics, focuses on the two core principles of stability: supporting the gun to the ground via a barricade, and supporting the body through bone structure or the barricade. Adhering to this specific order is key to achieving instant stability for improved accuracy.

This video, presented by Colonel Harold Cabunoc of the Philippine Army, highlights the importance of both consistent practice and proper nutrition for shooting proficiency. It demonstrates precision shooting with an AR-15 and a Glock-style pistol, while also revealing a 'secret recipe' for champions: consuming local Filipino foods like Ginamos, Katuray, and Native Chicken to boost eyesight and focus.

This video demonstrates low-light live fire using an AR-15 style rifle, likely a CAR-15/XM177 variant, equipped with night vision goggles. The footage highlights significant muzzle flash and weapon cycling during rapid fire sequences, showcasing operational capability in reduced light conditions. The demonstration emphasizes proficient weapon manipulation and the use of professional-grade tactical equipment for low-light engagements.

This video details the installation of a Geissele MK8 Super Modular Rail on an AR-15. Key steps include using a Geissele Reaction Rod for upper receiver stability, proper torquing of the proprietary barrel nut, and secure installation of the gas block and tube. The rail is then slid on and secured with two cross-bolts using a T-handle hex wrench. Final steps involve muzzle device installation and a thorough inspection.

Proper ammunition storage is crucial for maintaining reliability and safety. Avoid storing ammo in cardboard boxes in damp environments, as this leads to moisture absorption and corrosion. Utilize airtight containers like ammo cans and control humidity with desiccants like silica gel packs. Heat accelerates gunpowder and primer degradation, so store ammo at stable room temperatures. Reloading primers are particularly vulnerable to moisture and require strict airtight storage.

This video demonstrates how to upgrade an AR-15's A2 furniture to Magpul components. It details the removal of the A2 grip using a Bondhus hex set and the installation of a Magpul MIAD grip with interchangeable backstraps for improved ergonomics. The process also covers preparing and installing the Magpul PRS stock, highlighting its adjustable features for cheek weld and length of pull.

This video explores the custom Remington 11-87 shotgun used as a prop in 'No Country for Old Men.' The film required a semi-automatic shotgun with a suppressor, a combination not readily available at the time. Prop master Larry Zanoff details how a non-functional, 'homemade' looking suppressor was custom-built for the 11-87, with the iconic silenced sound effect achieved entirely in post-production.
