The Green Beret Turning Drill! #greenberet #specialforces #military #shorts

This video demonstrates a 'Turning Drill' often used in military firearms training, specifically by Green Berets. The drill emphasizes efficient movement and target engagement based on the direction of turn. A key takeaway is the importance of performing a tactical or slide-lock reload to ensure the firearm is ready for immediate follow-up actions, reinforcing the habit of ending a drill with a full magazine.

This video contrasts two shooting runs, highlighting the trade-off between accuracy and speed when moving. While stopping for higher accuracy is beneficial for competition, real-world scenarios demand continuous movement to maintain progress, acquire angles, and work with teammates. The speaker emphasizes the need to keep moving and avoid impeding progress, even when dealing with threats or navigating tactical spaces like the 'fatal funnel'.

This video offers a practical tip for improving prone shooting stability, debunking the myth that magazine contact with the ground always causes malfunctions. The instructor, drawing on military experience, advises bringing elbows in close and positioning the support elbow under the rifle. He also suggests using the magazine as a monopod when feasible, especially with modern equipment.

This video details the Green Beret Turning Drill, a complex tactical training exercise designed to build muscle memory and proficiency under pressure. Instructor Z of Tactical Rifleman guides viewers through variations involving different body positions, rifle carries, and engagement sequences. The drill emphasizes critical safety protocols, including muzzle awareness and situational awareness, while integrating fundamental shooting skills like target acquisition, trigger control, and efficient movement. It's presented as an advanced technique for enhancing combat readiness and overall firearm competency.

This video demonstrates a Special Forces-style procedure for reloading and making ready both a pistol and a rifle. It emphasizes visual confirmation of clear chambers, efficient magazine insertion using techniques like the 'beer can grip' for rifles, and proper use of controls like the bolt carrier release and forward assist. The process also includes replenishing ammunition in speed reload pouches.

This guide, presented by a retired Green Beret, details how to set up and effectively shoot an AR-15 as a 'fighting rifle.' It covers optimal stance, optic mounting for situational awareness, tactical carry positions, grip techniques, trigger control for faster follow-up shots, understanding sight offset, and efficient reloading. The instruction emphasizes practical application and speed, drawing on expert military experience.

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.
