This video details the execution of a 'Trench Warfare Drill' using a Kel-Tec Sub-2000 9mm carbine. The drill emphasizes reliability testing with Glock 33-round magazines and a Vortex red dot sight in a challenging environment. Key takeaways include managing accidental safety engagement during movement, the importance of aiming higher at close range due to optic zero, and the effectiveness of large-capacity magazines for sustained fire in drills. The instructor highlights that such drills reveal practical shooting issues not apparent on a standard range.

Quick Summary

The Kel-Tec Sub-2000 9mm carbine, equipped with Glock 33-round magazines and a Vortex red dot, proved reliable in a challenging Trench Warfare Drill. Shooters must aim higher at 10 yards due to the 25-meter optic zero, and be mindful of accidental safety engagement during dynamic movement. The drill highlighted practical shooting issues not typically seen on a standard range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Kel-Tec Sub-2000 tested in the Trench Warfare Drill?

The Kel-Tec Sub-2000 tested was a 9mm carbine equipped with a Kel-Tech 4-end rail, Glock 33-round stick magazines, and a Vortex red dot sight. It also featured a Brass Stacker cocking aid. The firearm is noted for its lightweight design, weighing around 4.5 pounds.

What challenges were encountered during the Trench Warfare Drill with the Kel-Tec Sub-2000?

A primary challenge was an accidental safety engagement caused by body movement during aggressive shooting, leading to a malfunction. Additionally, the drill's environment with heavy weeds and uneven terrain made movement and shooting more difficult, and the Vortex red dot's easily actuated buttons posed a risk of deactivation.

How does the optic zero affect aiming the Kel-Tec Sub-2000 at close distances?

The Kel-Tec Sub-2000 is zeroed for 25 meters. At closer distances, such as 10 yards, shooters must aim higher on the target to compensate for the point of impact being below the point of aim due to the optic's trajectory.

What is the perceived reliability of the Kel-Tec Sub-2000 with Glock 33-round magazines?

The Kel-Tec Sub-2000, when paired with Glock 33-round stick magazines and 9mm SMB ammunition, demonstrated good reliability throughout the demanding Trench Warfare Drill, with the only significant malfunction attributed to accidental safety engagement by the shooter.
