I gotcha.

I am a critical asshole so take or leave whatever I tell you, I appreciate you listening up till now though.

That being said, half of the shit we see military guys doing on video is just flashy Hollywood BS that has no application in putting lead into targets. Familiarizing ourselves with shooting from cover and awkward positions is fine, but we need to make sure that we have the fundamentals down pat first.

When a person gets to the point that they can fire a single shot and hit their intended target 10/10 times on command, they can likely do the same task after getting knocked down by a threat. I have professionally trained in and trained combative tactics with firearms for ten years. Working weapon presentation after taking a hit needs to be worked with someone actually knocking our ass to the ground, and then we need to work the firearm presentation ONLY WITH A NON-FIRING REPLICA (emphasis). Just falling to the ground isn’t benefiting us. Learning how to take a hit and get the weapon into the fight is all we need to do after our buddy just knocked the piss out of us. We can go on a live range and work the positional aspect with live fire later when we can control the safety aspects and not accidentally shoot our buddy.

The number one killer of soldiers in peace time is training incidents. Good soldiers get shot by their buddies all the time all over the world while sitting on a shooting range.
