This is awesome, your and American super hero. All these football players and spoiled athletes shouldn’t be getting paid large sums of money. If anyone should be getting huge paychecks it’s heroic men & women like these two fellas . Thank you for all you’ve done for the shooting community both tactically & recreationally you guys are what the industry needs more of.
“A decision is between bad and worse...there is no right answer” One of the most true and wisest statements I have ever heard, coming from a Marine vet and now LEO. Keeping that one
Wow! I didn't know what to expect when I selected this video. Praise God for fine young men(and women) like these. My first three of four boys are Marines. Second wounded on second tour fifth mission. I get strength from HIM! Thanks for this message! God Bless!
You're such a wise young man. We appreciate your, and all vets, personal sacrifices but dagreed don't forget the families who often are the rock for support of the ones who do make it home.
This is so impressive to watch, these guys are so dialed in and can read each others movements so well, they don't need all this flashy hand signal shit you see in movies, just a light squeeze of the shoulder to confirm your ready to move forward and clear the next room. It's all muscle memory for them at this point, Tom Spooner has been in this situation hundreds of times before on missions, I'm sure the other guy too!
thing is, his opinion is fact to himself. Thru trial and error and thousands through his school he has a unique education in firearms and believes full force in certain gear and certain ways. Are there other gear and other ways ? yes, he will acknowledge that. But there is no other way or gear to him, with 20 years experience , so he fully believes and commits to things that work.
Outstanding, Realize this video is 3.5 years old and I just came across it. Love your ideological approach, Rounding corners...hmmm, never thought of it that way, but good way of thinking.

You have to remember that he who has the most money and backing normally wins if they make a decent product, hardly the best but decent. Try Adams Arms before you think your gun is the best. Built by a guy who seen many wrongs in the AR and made them right long before any of these companies jumped in the game. Gas Piston at its finest built by Americans for Americans. Extremely accurate, cost effective and hardly ever if at all fail without the over pricing caused by paying guys like these and running big ads.
One very smart gentleman. I'm a civilian. Stress for me is two or three customers with quality or delivery schedule issues. Like, wow "Me" give us all a break. Warriors such as JD Potynsky are able to observe, process info, and make decisions while staying alive and eliminating threats. I cannot imagine what that is like. Thanks to our warriors and veterans - and their FAMILIES!
My thanks goes to your family for their sacrifice during the GWOT. If you find yourself in the rocky mountain region we'll exchange war stories over some cold ones.
GOD DAMN he kicked the fuck out of that filing cabinet, can imagine a bad guy behind it or up against that wall just Jesus, wouldn't be able to get your gun up because of flying cabinet. Fucking loved that
Really pisses me off that I couldn't even at least tryout for cag bc of some stupid info and advice from others therefore "DQ'ing" me (myself basically) from the opportunities to try. I have ZERO doubt I would've made it, esp in comparison to other difficult stuff I've had to endure. Basically "strength in numbers" and can absorb some of the good energy from others along side you as they get from you too at other times. Aka great teamwork.
1:15 I def regret not enlisting back then right after twin towers, as my buddy at the time suggested it and we got but I talked him out of it bc I figured it'd suck being part of a huge volunteer surge. "Live to regret the things you've done, but the things you didn't do. Terrible feeling.
higherkite How old are you? Do you have any medical problems like asthma or std's? If not then start training yesterday. Start studying for the ASVAB now too, but take your time with academics. It's like an SAT or ACT. The elite units like CAG invite people out of SF and Ranger battalion mostly. I would suggest talking to a recruiter only when you think you're ready to leave. There are contracts you can get at MEPs that give you the chance to try out for SF (18X). There's also one for the Rangers called an Option 40 contract. Let me know if you have any questions. There's an age limit for joining these programs. SF-30 Rangers-34.
You would think that these guys making these sacrifices at least know that 9/11 wasnt all al queda. If they are going to the dirty work then why cant they ask questions, ive seen so many videos of soldiers saying 9/11 was there main cause for joining. And when you hear conspiracy theorist say that 9/11 was a reason to get american pumped to go to war, no recruiting needed. Its crazy how smart they are but also how ignorant and closed minded soldiers can be.
***** really? you can't be dumb enough to think we go to the middle east to "Liberate" people. and in case you missed it, if you believe the 9/11 "story" then the hijackers are all dead, right? so, exactly how is it that I'm wrong? tell me why are soldiers are guarding poppy fields while you're at it.
***** search soldiers guard poppy fields and see how many hits you get smart guy. we haven't had a war for national security since 1812. if you don't know war is about money, you don't understand history.
+Tommy Ha and I was thinking EVERYBODY knew that that FDR wanted into the war. They were refusing to sell the Japanese oil and telling them they had to leave China. We allowed U.S. airmen (flying tigers) to fly against the Japanese in an undeclared war. We knew Hitler would declare war on us if we were at war with Japan and that otherwise German Americans would have objected. FDR would be reelected and finally deliver us from the depression. true story. the second world war displaced Britain as the number one world power and American bankers and the U.S. gov't. made a ton of money. because it's about the money when it's all over. isn't that what everyone knows is the path to the perp. follow the money. basic stuff, you guys. crack a book.
+Tommy Ha you're all over the place, dude. and no, you're right about me not learning history in school. public school doesn't go very deep. regardless, my original intention was only to point out the the title of this video lead me to believe it would be something interesting about guns, but it wasn't.
I'm watching this and those rifles look like they are sporting 14 and 16in barrels and they are gliding through this CQB killhouse, which has me wondering why everybody has to have a 10in AR these days. It seems like a lot of expense and trouble to nerf your gun when you don't need to. Unless you plan to almost weld a can on the end of the gun, it doesn't look like anything would be gained especially when weighed against the muzzle velocity loss.
It seems to me that barrel length should should be determined by optimal legth for the cartridge in question. If we're talking a rifle cartridge, 16 to 20. On the other hand a 10in barreled 9mm AR with bumpfire stock and an aimpoint pro is an intriguing idea. Heck, 10 in for a pistol cartirdge is probably overdoing it.
+lowell houser There is an article for Soldier Systems showing the exact setup JD used when he was with special forces, it's an 11.5" SBR. Special Forces get to choose their equipment based on each mission. If they are going to be clearing a building or houses, and SBR makes sense. If there is a chance they will be engaging targets past 200 meters, a 14.5" makes more sense. SBR's have their place, though as a civilian, I am perfectly satisfied with my 14.5" BCM midlength. soldiersystems.net/tag/bcm-gunfighter/
Really appreciate your service and commitment but dont really want to go around thanking every man woman and child I see because YOU CHOSE to sacrifice your family and personal life for a deep down calling to defend. The country does not owe all family members of all servicemen and women a personal thank you. That would equate to just about everyone you and I know. You could never stop thanking every person you ran into. Completely ridiculous but founded in deep regret for the pain you have put your family through.
Yeah we were pissed! Yeah we were angry! Yeah we wanted to kick some ass!! But...then a strange thing happened....we went to Afghan and Iraq and NOT the country every one claimed was the perpetrator!! Then, a few of us sat back and said...okay, wait a minute. This is a *POLITICIANS* war. Lo and behold, 18 or 19 years later...STILL THERE! STILL DEFENDING POPPY GROWERS! STILL rolling in countries where we've lost thousands, spent trillions and killed millions! Thank you ALL for your service, but come on, just in who's service are you acting?!
have you been over there yet? point is, sending people to die over 911 and "WMD's" was bs. you cant stop an idea and thinking you can do that via war is not only stupid, but will never work.
AIRBORNE916 I don't see it as sending people to die. I see it as sending soldiers to kill muslims. Sure, soldiers always die in war....I really don't care the reasoning behind the war, or what countries army is promoting it. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. You seemed in your post to miss the link between 911 and Iraq. You now have the link, Islam. I was simply answering your question.
What I think you don't realise is that these guys are ex sfod-a and d. They train and do things a certain way that obviously works. And then lets not forget that, usually, there's no cameraman running around like a lunatic in the middle of it all.
Look at the man's eyes... Not only has he done it when it really counts time and time again but he's alive here and now. Potynsky knows what he's doing...

when there are guys like this it makes me wonder why guy like James Yeager exist. i like james but hell this guy is beast at CQB
I stopped watching James Yeager. I respect him, but i feel he just thinks he is better than everyone else, and his opinion is a fact.
