This drill, adapted from the pistol El Prez, tests a shooter's ability to rapidly switch rifle shoulders for engagement, simulating breaking cover in CQB scenarios. It emphasizes muscle memory for smooth transitions under time and accuracy constraints, requiring all 12 shots to be hits within 9 seconds at 7 meters.

This guide details a CQB shooting technique using iron sights, focusing on aiming over the rear sight for improved speed and situational awareness. It explains how this method can naturally compensate for height over bore offset, a critical factor in close-quarters engagements. The technique emphasizes focusing on the front sight post for rapid target acquisition.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of synchronized team movement in Close Quarters Battle (CQB). It argues that tactical skills are only effective when integrated into a cohesive team flow, stressing the need for a simple, repeatable formula for communication. The description highlights how non-verbal cues and body language are essential for conveying intent and predicting teammate actions in high-speed environments where verbal communication is insufficient. The core message is about moving as a single unit, making movement itself a vital component of CQB success.

This video outlines a three-day training event hosted by Tactical Rifleman at the Montgomery County Shooting Complex. The courses cover Pistol Fundamentals, Combat Pistol, and a specialized Tactical Lever Gun course. The lever gun training focuses on practical application, including transitions, loading techniques, and tactical considerations, offering valuable skills for various scenarios.

This video demonstrates two techniques for shooting with iron sights in a Close Quarters Battle (CQB) context. The instructor explains the trade-offs between looking through the larger aperture versus looking over the rear sight, highlighting improved situational awareness with the latter. He also touches on the necessity of aiming high due to height over bore offset at CQB distances.

This video details the 'Rifle Now Drill,' a demanding shooting exercise requiring shooters to fire 30 rounds from a rifle (one in the chamber, 29 in the magazine) within 13 seconds, followed by a reload and one additional shot. All 31 rounds must impact a specific target area. The drill emphasizes speed, accuracy, and efficient magazine management under pressure, with a focus on maintaining tight shot groups at a close distance.

Instruction from Karl Erickson of Tactical Rifleman demonstrates a critical close-quarters combat technique: using a tactical fixed blade knife to create space when an opponent attempts to grab a pistol. The video highlights the risks of close-range pistol draws and advocates for a knife transition to safely disengage and re-establish a firing platform. This technique emphasizes anatomical targets for creating distance rather than immediate lethal force.

This guide details a Navy SEAL's CQC room clearing technique, emphasizing 'economy of motion' and precise footwork. It highlights the critical 'long step' maneuver for maintaining balance and readiness when entering a corner-fed room, contrasting it with the dangerous 'short step.' The instruction, delivered by a subject matter expert, focuses on life-saving fundamentals for tactical proficiency.

This guide details an emergency ammo resupply technique using a standard USGI 6-Pocket Bandolier, as demonstrated by Karl Erickson from Tactical Rifleman. It explains how to utilize the bandolier's expandable pockets, designed for 5.56mm magazines, to rapidly pack ammunition for field resupply. The technique emphasizes efficient loading and compact storage for integration into tactical kits.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gelatin test comparing 9mm and .45 ACP defensive ammunition. Instruction comes from Pete, a retired USSF member, who details the performance of Barnes TAC-XPD 9mm and Cor-Bon Pow'R Ball .45 ACP. The comparison focuses on penetration depth, wound cavitation, and feeding reliability, particularly for 1911 platforms.
