Donald Trump Assassination Attempt: Special Forces Sniper's Perspective | Tactical Rifleman

This guide details the 'mortaring' technique for clearing rifle malfunctions, as demonstrated by Tactical Rifleman. The process involves a tap, rack, and shoulder, followed by placing the weapon on safe, moving to cover, unlocking the charging handle, and vertically bringing the rifle to the ground to resolve the issue. This method is presented as a reliable way to clear malfunctions under pressure.

This YouTube Shorts video, likely from 1994, showcases sniper stalk training. Utilizing VHS aesthetics, it focuses on the effectiveness of military camouflage in covert operations and tactical movement. The `#shorts` tag indicates a brief, vertical video format.

This video explores accuracy standards for long-range shooting, prompting viewers to share their personal expectations for hit percentages in the comments. It also promotes a training resource for precision rifle enthusiasts.

This video critiques an individual's perceived lack of proficiency in sniper-related skills, labeling it "amateur hour." The title explicitly states the subject was "NOT a Pro," indicating a review or commentary on their abilities. The description reinforces this sentiment with "No way no how. Amateur hour." The provided link suggests a platform for precision rifle training, implying the video may be a response or critique of content found there, or a discussion about the standards of such training.

This video showcases footage from an intermediate long-range shooting course, featuring students engaging a 1/2 size human target at 1000 yards. The target serves as a tie-breaker, highlighting the progression of students who may have never shot beyond 100 yards before. The description emphasizes the expertise of Ghost Firearm Training's instructors, who come from LE and military backgrounds, and promotes their comprehensive training schedule including Long Range Precision, Mile Shooting Matches, Urban Carbine, TacMed Carbine, and CQB. The video also includes mentions of partner companies Tract Optics, 360 Precision, and Tricer.

Instruction from expert John Lovell on the function and utility of the AR-15's forward assist. Lovell demonstrates how to use the forward assist to manually seat a bolt carrier group that is slightly out of battery due to fouling or lack of maintenance. While not always necessary with well-maintained rifles, he highlights its value as a redundancy for ensuring the firearm is ready to fire in critical situations.

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.
