Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main criticism of GBRS Group's tactical advice in this video?

The primary criticism is that GBRS Group, particularly DJ Shipley, promotes 'gun slop'—bad tactical advice like not blinking and keeping the mouth open during shooting, which is contrary to sound marksmanship principles and potentially dangerous.

Why is keeping the mouth open during shooting sometimes recommended?

Keeping the mouth open is recommended in specific high-concussion environments, like firing unsuppressed rifles indoors or during explosive breaches, to mitigate the risk of eardrum damage from the blast wave, not for breathing or flinch control.

Is blinking a problem in firearms training according to the instructor?

No, blinking is not considered a problem or a factor in standard rifle or pistol marksmanship training. The focus should be on the shot process, including pre-shot, shot, and follow-through, not on avoiding natural reflexes like blinking.

What does the term 'gun slop' mean in this context?

'Gun slop' refers to inaccurate, detrimental, or nonsensical advice and practices related to firearms handling, tactics, and training. The video argues that GBRS Group is a prime example of a channel that disseminates this type of content.
