This video critiques a Modern Samurai Project (MSP) class taught by Scott Jedlinsky, based on a student's review. The speaker, Ben Stoeger, highlights perceived issues such as excessive BJJ discussion, name-dropping, negative commentary on other instructors, and questionable tactical advice. Stoeger also notes Jedlinsky's strong negative reaction to being mentioned, interpreting it as a sign of personal animosity stemming from online interactions and perceived competition in the firearms training space.

This video by firearms instructor John G. Johnson emphasizes the critical importance of 'front sight focus' for new shooters struggling with pistol accuracy. He explains that the human eye cannot simultaneously focus on the front sight, rear sight, and target, leading to inconsistent groups when attempting 'target focus'. By concentrating solely on a clear front sight and aligning it at the 6 o'clock position on the target, shooters can achieve tighter groups and greater consistency.

The FN VICTOR-T is a computer vision camera-based weapon skills development tool that can be mounted on various firearm platforms. It facilitates training from basic marksmanship to advanced skills by tracking shooter movement, predicting impact points, and providing detailed feedback. The system supports virtual ranges for long-range practice without physical space and includes an instructor view for supervision, enabling training across dry, blank, and live fire scenarios.
