CQB Drills with Iron Sights | Tactical Rifleman

This expert-level guide from Tactical Rifleman demonstrates advanced iron sight techniques for Close Quarters Battle (CQB). It contrasts traditional sight alignment with a faster, over-the-rear-sight method that enhances situational awareness but requires compensation for height over bore offset at CQB distances.

This GBRS Group video emphasizes the critical importance of tactical scanning and broad situational awareness, especially in CQB scenarios. Instructor highlights that training must mirror real-world 'showtime' conditions, where proficiency under pressure is paramount. Key techniques include actively scanning after every shot, looking around optics rather than solely through them, and practicing exercises to hone focus on potential threats while maintaining peripheral awareness.

This video emphasizes 'Noise Accountability' in tactical operations, showcasing an operator moving through a dark structure with NVGs and engaging a target with a suppressed rifle. It highlights the critical importance of maintaining discipline, control, and situational awareness, even after a target is neutralized, as demonstrated by the operator's continued stealthy movement and the background dog bark emphasizing environmental awareness. The setup features an AR-15 with an EOTech optic and GBRS Group Hydra Mount.

This YouTube video, titled "SWAT TRAINING - MASTERING CQB" and presented by GBRS GROUP, focuses on close-quarters battle (CQB) training, likely involving tactical scenarios and weapon handling. The description heavily promotes GBRS GROUP's social media presence and Patreon, highlighting individuals like DJ Shipley, Cole Fackler, and Joey Hahn. The content appears to be professionally produced and aimed at individuals interested in advanced tactical training and firearm proficiency.

This video emphasizes the critical role of cognitive processing speed in Close Quarters Battle (CQB). Elite operators can solve complex tactical problems while in motion by rapidly processing information. Mental repetition and scenario focus allow for efficient real-world application of skills learned through exercises like CQB sketches.

This video showcases an advanced live-fire Close-Quarters Battle (CQB) training exercise at the Direct Action Resource Center (DARC), organized by Spiritus Systems. The training involves dynamic entries, the use of suppressors, night vision devices, and various tactical gear. The footage highlights intense drills in both day and low-light conditions, emphasizing practical application of CQB tactics.

In close-quarters combat, drawing a pistol can be dangerous as an opponent can easily grab the firearm. A tactical knife offers a safer alternative, allowing the user to create space by targeting vital areas like the carotid artery or kidneys. This space allows for a safe transition back to a firearm. The video demonstrates this strategy using a Glock pistol and a fixed-blade knife.

This video details crucial footwork techniques for Navy SEALs during Close Quarters Combat (CQC). It emphasizes 'economy of motion' and the 'long step' technique for balanced entry into corner-fed rooms, ensuring immediate engagement capability. Proper footwork prevents exposing vulnerable side plates and maintains a stable shooting platform.

This video demonstrates a clever modification of standard military cloth bandoliers to increase their magazine capacity. By releasing a hidden white string, the pockets expand, allowing them to hold one or even two 5.56mm magazines each. Special Forces operators pack these expanded bandoliers with other essentials for rapid emergency resupply in the field.

This ballistic gel test compares 9mm Barnes TAC-XPD and .45 ACP Cor-Bon Pow'RBall. The 9mm achieved deeper penetration (13-14 inches) with consistent expansion, while the .45 ACP created a larger wound cavity and significant energy transfer but slightly less penetration. The Cor-Bon Pow'RBall's design enhances feeding reliability in 1911 platforms.
