Low-Powered Variable Optic Drill for you to try #shorts #specialforces #military

This drill focuses on efficiently manipulating the magnification on a Low-Powered Variable Optic (LPVO) during dynamic shooting transitions. It emphasizes using handwork to adjust the optic's power as you move between shooting positions (standing, kneeling, prone), highlighting the advantages this provides in target acquisition and engagement.

This drill focuses on efficiently manipulating the magnification of a Low Powered Variable Optic (LPVO) during dynamic shooting scenarios. It emphasizes transitioning through various shooting positions (standing, kneeling, prone) and engaging multiple targets while incorporating hand movements to adjust the optic's power. The drill aims to build proficiency in using the LPVO's variable magnification to its full advantage in tactical situations.

This drill focuses on efficiently transitioning between shooting positions (standing, kneeling, prone) while incorporating the manipulation of an LPVO's magnification. The emphasis is on smooth transitions and integrating the hand movement for magnification adjustment into the positional changes, rather than solely focusing on speed. The drill includes engaging multiple targets from various positions and a unique 'over the shoulder' engagement.

This drill, demonstrated by Tactical Rifleman, focuses on the efficient manipulation of magnification on a Low Power Variable Optic (LPVO) while transitioning between shooting positions. The core principle is to maintain 1X magnification for immediate threats and only dial up magnification when transitioning to prone for engaging further targets, emphasizing the development of muscle memory for this critical skill. The drill involves engaging targets from standing, kneeling, and prone positions at 50 meters, simulating real-world scenarios where target distance dictates optic adjustment.

This video details the takeaways from a two-day scoped carbine course taught by Joe Dawson of Bruiser Industries. The instructor, Ben Stoeger, emphasizes the value of shooting at distance (up to 1000 yards) with various calibers like 5.56, .308, and 6.5 Creedmoor. Key training insights include practicing rapid-fire pairs at 100 yards on small targets to refine fundamental skills and understanding the practical application of ballistics calculators and wind calls.

This video provides a year-end review from Achilles Heel Tactical, highlighting their extensive training reach in 2025 across numerous states, countries, and a territory. Led by Rick, a high-authority instructor, the review showcases advanced firearms manipulation and dynamic movement drills. The content emphasizes the large student throughput and the acquisition of 'Man Cards' during intensive courses, transitioning to a call for 2026 recruitment.

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.
