THE FUTURE OF CQB TRAINING | Unit 4 Training System | Tactical Rifleman

This video showcases a training session at The Ranch Texas, focusing on CQB (Close Quarters Battle) skills with Unit Solutions training rifles. The content highlights the return of the creator's two youngest sons to CQB training after a significant break, observing their retained skills and areas needing refinement. The description emphasizes a fun and productive day of training, indicating a positive and educational experience for the participants.

This CQB training video highlights the critical mistake of telegraphing movement by allowing the firearm's muzzle to cross the doorway threshold before the shooter's eyes. This action exposes the shooter's position, risking weapon grabs and ambushes. Proper technique involves keeping the weapon out of sight until the shooter can see into the room, preventing adversaries from gaining a tactical advantage.

This video demonstrates advanced CQB techniques for entering rooms, focusing on the 'chicken wing low' method for increased shot probability and control. It highlights the importance of tactical assumptions, such as an adversary waiting in a corner, and discusses low-probability shooting scenarios. The training utilizes an AR-15 with an EOTech sight and suppressor in a simulated tactical environment.

This video details six essential CQB drills that can be practiced on a flat range to build foundational skills for close-quarters combat. It emphasizes mastering movement, target acquisition, and weapon presentation before entering live fire scenarios. Key drills include 'pieing the door,' 'attack the crack,' and various lateral movement techniques, all designed to increase speed and efficiency in dynamic environments.

This video focuses on Close Quarters Battle (CQB) training, specifically showcasing techniques for navigating stairs and hallways. The description highlights an upcoming 5-man CQB Basic SWAT training course in Templeton, PA, open to civilians and beginners. GhostFT.com, the training provider, emphasizes their top-tier ranking by PewPewTactical and GUNDIE Award nominations, underscoring their experienced instructors with LE and Military backgrounds. They offer various specialized training courses including Long Range Precision, Urban Carbine, and TacMed Carbine, utilizing two ranges in Pennsylvania. The description contrasts their hands-on, instructor-led approach with less effective training methods.

This video from GBRS Group focuses on realistic Close Quarters Battle (CQB) training for law enforcement. It emphasizes the importance of full effort, teamwork, disciplined violence, and reliability under stress over superficial metrics like shot timer times. The training aims to prepare officers for hostile environments where consequences are permanent, highlighting clear communication, nonverbal cues, mutual trust, and performance measured in outcomes. The core message is to train professionally and be prepared for the dangerous realities of the job.

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.
