I just hit 16 years in the military. I'm not a terrible shot but could always improve. This kid just gave me the most efficient explanation for recoil management I have ever heard/seen.
With some obvious exceptions, the US Military's Small Arms Training has been in dire need of new thinking and overhaul for a long time now. Most of the personnel I've seen fresh out of basic and advanced training are lacking in even fundamental skills and to the point they need and should be re-trained so they can be moved to more advanced weapon handling skills that build and allow them to confidently maintain those perishable skills. The Military does in fact have very good basic and advanced marksmanship instructors and advanced weapon skill instructors but the overall basic and advanced programs could use some valuable forward thinking changes. Some may agree or disagree with my, it's just my 30+ years of experience & seeing what does and doesn't work well over those years.
@@atlanticdefense3818 As a former 6 year Army Infantryman, I completely agree. I entered the Army without ever having handled a firearm in my life. I was age 20. I was actually surprisingly good, but my Drill Sergeant chocked it up to me not having bad habits related to prior firearms experience. After I was in the Army a few years, I noticed many people coming out of basic and into my unit with really mediocre shooting skills. I eventually retrained most of the people who were fresh out of basic. Don't even get me started on shooting with anyone who aren't in combat roles. Their marksmanship training is laughable at best. It all needs a big overhaul. This video is excellent and this guy has zero military experience. Just good training. I love it.
I am a veteran combat leader and gotta give you credit for an excellent instructional video that brings it all together in a comprehensive video. Excellent production, flow of information, and manner of instruction. Great job. Glad to see you mentioned height over bore compensation at close range.
WOW! I've been in a tactical unit for 4 years and have trained with a large number of experienced instructors, but I've always found that my accuracy was not where I wanted it to be will rapid firing. Instructors would always tell me to "tighten that up" but none would take the time to explain how to or tell me what exactly I needed to change. No one has ever explained me how to manage recoil in such a detailed way as you just did. Thanks Lucas!!
I love this kid. He’s a student and a teacher. Very humble and hard working and I will always be a customer looking for your business. Just bought a Ferro Slingster and QD mounts from your website. What I love most is that he doesn’t promote garbage products just to get free stuff. So many gun bunnies in this industry.
T.REX ARMS yeah well you should be so proud that all the fake companies run from guys like you! If everyone carried your honesty and integrity, all of the garbage would go away. I can’t wait to see where you are 10 years from now. Hopefully you have it all man 👊🏻
I wonder how a traffic stop will go with this guy? Officer: "Any weapons in the vehicle or anything I should know about?" T.REX ARMS:"4 ARs, Glock19, few hundred rounds of ammo, my helmet, plate carrier, gas mas and a pock knife." Officer: ..... T.REX ARMS: ..... Officer: "You have a good day sir"
@Darryl Hopper "Me" I'm not in the army yet this account was my brother but he gave me it a few years back when he I thank started to try out for the 75th. Sorry if I looked like I was posing I just did want to change his account to much.
Lucas I really hope you see this. After watching this video I went out to the range the following day with the Combat Arms instructor in my unit. I was able to make headshots in rapid succession with an AK and keep my muzzle almost completely flat. Before your video I would need seconds between hits to require sights and get back on target. This has changed my life, and I'm a better first responder as a result. I can't thank you enough. Hopefully you'll put one out on pistol as well. I'm ready to have my world changed again. God bless
Very well done, I'm 66, been shooting since I was 10 sometimes competitively. This young man has an excellent perspective with superb presentation and it wouldn't bother me a bit to take a few pointers from him.
@@Askiaban Sure, but most won't even understand the intricacies of actually combat. Tactics like operating in mountainous, Jungle, and winter environments you won't get trained on and definitely won't have the funding of a 600 Billion dollar military budget for it to be of the same quality or frequency. Most won't even know how to properly lay an ambush or even conduct fire and maneuver. Hostage Rescue, Counter Terrorism, Special Reconnaissance, Psychological Operations. Even Basic things like Sniper camouflage aren't really taught to much. Not to mention you won't neccesarily be as good as someone who does it for a living, (for example T.Rex Arms shoots better than most people because he does it for a living...) and guess what when you learn military tactics as a Civilian who the fuck is teaching you.... A Fucking Military Member...

Sound and solid technique here. Some things you pick up by years of practice and some things you have to be taught. I’ve been shooting pistols and rifles of various types for over 48 years and I still learn something new.

Maybe I don't watch enough videos like this, but your the first person I have seen that shows the stance I feel comfortable shooting with. I have even had people tell me I need to square up on the target. Awesome video.
To the point Educational No bs No advertisments for any companies And you are good at what you are teaching/doing. You sir, have got yourself a new subscriber.
Very knowledgeable young man in the art of weapons craft. Excellent teacher. No arrogant attitude. His humility is a great quality that helps him convey his knowledge. Very rare to see that these days in this discipline.
Took a handgun combat shooting class run by a Special Forces guy. I did the first stance Lucas talked about and he laughed in my face hard. Then he showed me the second stance Lucas displayed which is the correct stance.
The difference is that the "special forces guy" would get wrecked in a pure shooting competition. I shoot every Monday night with a bunch of SWAT and SF guys. Some of them are decent, most of them finish in the middle of the pack.
Thanks for this simple block of instruction. After seeing this video late at night I went out immediately in the afternoon to test it out. Even though I only had 3 magazines I quickly noticed the difference. I just got to work on my trigger pull. I’ve been highly critical of you but you rock and have a knack for instructing. People just have to listen and today I listened.
pretty easy, grip has to be as high as possible, one hand pushes, the other pulls. ankle on the support hand locked. as long as you dont shoot .500 s&w or anything similar recoil schouldnt be a problem anymore at all. talking about full size guns here, compact and smaller might be anything else, idk. glove size 10. anything below duty size is a deringer for me :)
@@amoredfist Smaller pistols can be a pain, but I still carry a Glock 43. I added a +2 extender to add more grip space and it's perfect. I can shoot them as effectively as I can a full sized Glock.
@@gdoumit i do understand the reason for those small guns, the problem is i live in germany, therefore carrying a gun outside from the range is no option. and i think anyone will agree that target shooting with a full size is a no brainer compared to a compact or sub-compact. for cc i agree that a 43 or a 42 with .380 acp xtreme defendr +p would be the best choice.
Perfect. Getting back into this hobby after YEARS of not doing it. Feels great getting back to the range but man am I rusty. Thanks for the great refresher and the drills.
I really appreciate your videos lucas, you make really informative, and loaded with great training tips. I've been using fundamentals that you've taught and it has improved my ability substantially. Also great gaming analogies, they have helped me understand some.of your concepts.
I wanted to just say thanks. I have shot sport for about 5 decades, and thanks to people like you, I learn something new every day. You explain EVERYTHING so simply and well. In my opinion, you are right up there with Travis Haley and Todd Hodnett in that regard, who I have been lucky enough to learn from also. Instant subscriber, but I feel like a bit of an idiot that I just learned of your channel.
When I went through MCT in 2013, the instructors taught the "feet shoulder width apart, only slightly offset" and I remember it pissed me off so much because it's horrible for recoil management. I would try to sneak my right foot back to get a better base and I would get smoked when I got caught. Pretty sad Lucas is doing a better job teaching rifle shooting than the Marine Corps at the time.
Your instructors sucked because when I went through in 2010 they told us to get that leg back more and lean into it to reduce the recoil. When I trained my Marines I taught the exact same as this video. This kid is doing a wonderful job and actually keeping his content reliable and accurate.
That wasn't about recoil it was about keeping your body square so when the bullets hit you they get stopped by your plates instead of going in your side.
Once you buy once, you can’t stop adding to your collection!!!! My wife has no problem with me buying fire arms it’s better then being unfaithful, gambling and being addicted to drugs
Your starting off with a pretty decent resource. I would encourage you too branch out too. Look at milsurp guys, reloading guys, hunting, competition. Its good to have a wide range of interests and knowledge when it comes to guns each category offers a different perspective imo
Predictive (as predictive as a gun is capable of consistent grouping) and recoil control can be the difference between bullets hitting on point or controlling a fully auto to throw some rounds down range, to some bullets jumping up more than you could imagine. Knowing your gun, and essentially making it an extension to your own body is crucial Thx for the video.
You are very gifted at instructing....You & John Lovell are my guys as i’m new to the AR platform & only want solid instruction! Stay humble & God Bless you.
I actually came to this video to dis it. My thought was it would be all about the C-clamp fad. Then he pulled out the short fore end gun. I learned a lot.
Man I just found your channel and you have a new subscriber here for sure. It is awesome to see a guy from my generation with the skills to present videos like this. Well done keep it up man.
Thanks for the video, man. Always could improve. I'm getting into handgun competition shooting (I'm 14), but I've always done long range marksman shooting. Although I'm sitting for most of my shots, I still appreciate the tips for whenever I shoot the AR.
I find it... creepy when younger people can explain a reality i find hard to grasp.... I thank you for your educational skills! Also your skills with the fire arms and your will to share them!
Best video I've seen Mr. T Rex. I really like the concentration on small circles. Helps me see which way my different rifles move when shooting. Thank you very much. Very well explained. Keep up the great work. I def subscribed.
Pretty sure someone asked this in an IG live once and he talked about it; if I remember right there were pew things chilling in the passenger footwell and in boxes in back as usual, and nothing came of it. Be respectful and don't do anything really dumb, and you can get around with fairly large quantities of freedom. 🇺🇲
Not really. Unless you're in some liberal control state, it's legal to have as many guns in the car as you want, as long as you're legally able to possess them (not a felon).
I'm so glad you brought up stance, bringing one foot back, rather than standing squared up like most tactical idiots choose to do. Awesome tips from someone who actually shoots.
@@mallard_duck458 can you wire me some $$ land is really expensive here in Seattle and you seem to be able to buy land whenever you want. Help some bro's out!
Mr. Aimbotkin, I'm just about your age. Thank you so much for this priceless content. It has helped me progress rapidly. Sincerely, A teacher who can barely carry because of draconian laws... damn liberals 😡
Damn thanks Lucas, was at the gun range yesterday and I felt like I was handling the Ar15 pretty we’ll, I was damn near doing better then my expectations.
All the free info in these vids are great. I've seen so much improvement in just taking the info from these vids. The dry fire training tips really show. If i were to take a class though I would feel the money would be well spent at TREX.
He's so good at giving instruction, I could care less if what he says is BS or facts. He might be the best I've ever seen at firearm instruction. The pace is perfect. Everything is concise. He knows his shit. IMPRESSIVE as hell! This young man is a star in the making.
First of all, LOVED the video! Second of all, I loved the tips on recoil control and they really work! I have a question for you, could you give us some tips on transitioning to your next target? your transitions are extremely smooth, clean, and fast and I was wondering if there is anything that you are specifically doing to achieve this. Thanks.
Hey, Lucas! How do we manage rifle recoil properly when we have a grenade launcher mounted on the carbine? I use to hold the carbine near (but not on it) the magazine. Is there any video explaining that? Thanks, awesome content! Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷
I don't comment on videos but I gotta say, first off thank you. Your speaking style and the way you explain is should be industry standard. I learned alot from watching this as I have been apparently using all the wrong technique. As a fellow skinny dude I was wondering if any what muscle groups I should be working on to working holding the rifle in a shooting position for longer periods or will this just come with shooting. Again thank you for a great video
Fantastic video once again Lucas I strive to be where you are 1000% you have a phenomenal skill level that is truly admired by those of us who train to be ready I again thank you for time sir
I hate watching these videos... because of Lucas and Daddy I always end up putting huge white or blue numbers on sides of all of weapons, magazines and optics. I am still not sure why I am doing this.
@Tyrannical Grim "Garand Thumb" is the name of his channel. Daddy Garand is his stage name and Mike is his government name. You should visit his channel. It is just as informative as Lucas' channel here.
Numbering your mags is so you can keep track of them. If I’m running different drills and start having issues on mag JH54 then I mark an X on it, if I get to 3 X’s the mag is dead to me. But when you’ve got 100+ mags you need a way to track them. That is what most guys number their mags for I’ve found, JH being my initials so nobody can steal my stuff too.
They always make it look cool. Mine look like a child did it. I started marking my mags. It’s a good habit once you get a few. If you have problems you can narrow it down.

The difference is that the "special forces guy" would get wrecked in a pure shooting competition.
I shoot every Monday night with a bunch of SWAT and SF guys. Some of them are decent, most of them finish in the middle of the pack.
@@mattwestcigarreviews They also dont JUST shoot lol. They do so much other shit to compensate for that.
@@unsainted2240
That is certainly true. The shooting is just about 5% of their actual job. That being said, the guy was wrong.
Thanks for this simple block of instruction. After seeing this video late at night I went out immediately in the afternoon to test it out. Even though I only had 3 magazines I quickly noticed the difference. I just got to work on my trigger pull.
I’ve been highly critical of you but you rock and have a knack for instructing. People just have to listen and today I listened.
solid tips as always
Mrgunsngear Channel you must watch as much TH-cam as I do lol. You are on every video I watch it seems
@@beardoggin8963 he does his daily pop up for advertisement for his channel.
Tech ti that and he likes to support other gun channels in the algorithm with a like and comment. Same thing he does on Insta
Fantastic explanation man. I spent 7 years in the army and I never got info like this. Great video dude.
Can you do a recoil management video for a pistol?
Lejin good grip is everything. i lot of tips here in the carbine portion reflect heavily across multiple firearms platforms.
He already did - about two years ago th-cam.com/video/dRLhixh4WhQ/w-d-xo.html
pretty easy, grip has to be as high as possible, one hand pushes, the other pulls. ankle on the support hand locked. as long as you dont shoot .500 s&w or anything similar recoil schouldnt be a problem anymore at all. talking about full size guns here, compact and smaller might be anything else, idk. glove size 10. anything below duty size is a deringer for me :)
@@amoredfist Smaller pistols can be a pain, but I still carry a Glock 43. I added a +2 extender to add more grip space and it's perfect. I can shoot them as effectively as I can a full sized Glock.
@@gdoumit i do understand the reason for those small guns, the problem is i live in germany, therefore carrying a gun outside from the range is no option. and i think anyone will agree that target shooting with a full size is a no brainer compared to a compact or sub-compact. for cc i agree that a 43 or a 42 with .380 acp xtreme defendr +p would be the best choice.
Perfect. Getting back into this hobby after YEARS of not doing it. Feels great getting back to the range but man am I rusty. Thanks for the great refresher and the drills.
I really appreciate your videos lucas, you make really informative, and loaded with great training tips. I've been using fundamentals that you've taught and it has improved my ability substantially. Also great gaming analogies, they have helped me understand some.of your concepts.
I wanted to just say thanks. I have shot sport for about 5 decades, and thanks to people like you, I learn something new every day. You explain EVERYTHING so simply and well. In my opinion, you are right up there with Travis Haley and Todd Hodnett in that regard, who I have been lucky enough to learn from also. Instant subscriber, but I feel like a bit of an idiot that I just learned of your channel.
When I went through MCT in 2013, the instructors taught the "feet shoulder width apart, only slightly offset" and I remember it pissed me off so much because it's horrible for recoil management. I would try to sneak my right foot back to get a better base and I would get smoked when I got caught. Pretty sad Lucas is doing a better job teaching rifle shooting than the Marine Corps at the time.
Your instructors sucked because when I went through in 2010 they told us to get that leg back more and lean into it to reduce the recoil. When I trained my Marines I taught the exact same as this video. This kid is doing a wonderful job and actually keeping his content reliable and accurate.
Yeah dude, I went through in 2015 and our instructors told us to get in almost a basic warrior stance to help with the recoil
That wasn't about recoil it was about keeping your body square so when the bullets hit you they get stopped by your plates instead of going in your side.
@@untitledname1703 is it not like a boxing stance like I was instructed?I’m just re watching this vid to remind myself
I love watching this young man's videos. So confident and mature. Explains very well. Like a natural instructor.
Been waiting just getting into guns and I’m loveing the videos man
Same too.
Pick a different hobbie... lol....my wife hates it.... it great investments.....good luck
Once you buy once, you can’t stop adding to your collection!!!!
My wife has no problem with me buying fire arms it’s better then being unfaithful, gambling and being addicted to drugs
Your starting off with a pretty decent resource. I would encourage you too branch out too. Look at milsurp guys, reloading guys, hunting, competition. Its good to have a wide range of interests and knowledge when it comes to guns each category offers a different perspective imo
@@islas357 good advice
Lucas, You are a Phenomenal Teacher and the Fundamentals you teach are spot on. I have been watching you for Years!
Predictive (as predictive as a gun is capable of consistent grouping) and recoil control can be the difference between bullets hitting on point or controlling a fully auto to throw some rounds down range, to some bullets jumping up more than you could imagine. Knowing your gun, and essentially making it an extension to your own body is crucial Thx for the video.
Hands down one of the best simple explanations of recoil management ever thank you for this video!!
Thank you Lucas. Great video. It is the Finesse of shooting that needs to be covered. and that, you nailed it.
Such high quality information Lucas and his team provide for free, much appreciated.
Well done young man. Both articulate instruction and skilled manipulations.
I always learn something valuable when I watch Lucas. Great videos.
Thanks for the tips.
As a fellow skinny, its nice to know that its not a crutch.
And we're smaller targets
These tips are really solid, very simple yet... very efficient 💯
2 words sum up the video
MUCH TACTICAL
I LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED
You are very gifted at instructing....You & John Lovell are my guys as i’m new to the AR platform & only want solid instruction! Stay humble & God Bless you.
I actually came to this video to dis it. My thought was it would be all about the C-clamp fad. Then he pulled out the short fore end gun. I learned a lot.
Man I just found your channel and you have a new subscriber here for sure. It is awesome to see a guy from my generation with the skills to present videos like this. Well done keep it up man.
This was so helpful. I can't wait for the trigger control video!!
I think this is hands down the best TH-cam video I’ve ever seen!
Thanks for the video, man. Always could improve. I'm getting into handgun competition shooting (I'm 14), but I've always done long range marksman shooting. Although I'm sitting for most of my shots, I still appreciate the tips for whenever I shoot the AR.
Your videos are always well elaborated and well explained. I loved the mix-up of other rifles. Keep it going, you're going far.
I find it... creepy when younger people can explain a reality i find hard to grasp....
I thank you for your educational skills!
Also your skills with the fire arms and your will to share them!
Best video I've seen Mr. T Rex. I really like the concentration on small circles. Helps me see which way my different rifles move when shooting. Thank you very much. Very well explained. Keep up the great work. I def subscribed.
The one dislike was that car’s headlight
Haha yes, but its okay. Everyone dislikes that poor excuse of a neutered Cougar
Tail* light
This video was what I needed to see. Best explanation yet I have seen online.
4:00 Whats funny is you can actually see the moment he stops speaking and goes full terminator mode lol
man you have some outstanding tips and tricks in your vids with no fluff. Nice vids!
If you EVER get pulled over..
Officer: do you have any weapons in the car?
You: yes...like 20...
Officer: ...don’t..even...move.
Pretty sure someone asked this in an IG live once and he talked about it; if I remember right there were pew things chilling in the passenger footwell and in boxes in back as usual, and nothing came of it. Be respectful and don't do anything really dumb, and you can get around with fairly large quantities of freedom. 🇺🇲
Not really. Unless you're in some liberal control state, it's legal to have as many guns in the car as you want, as long as you're legally able to possess them (not a felon).
@@kylestrait9313 i think it was something like, 20+ handguns in the passenger seat haha but yeah, police shouldnt have an issue at all
@@woodchuckcider1 I'm a felon and I have been pulled over before with guns and I can own and purchase them no problem. know your laws.
@@michaeljordanbrown8014 ATF wants to know your location.
I'm so glad you brought up stance, bringing one foot back, rather than standing squared up like most tactical idiots choose to do. Awesome tips from someone who actually shoots.
Man I wish I had a range like this close by. So killer what you can do there.
I'm pretty sure it's his own private range
@@shipfaced6989 sweet set up that's for sure.
I know same,I hate I only have indoor ranges by my area.
then buy land unless you live in the USSR land can be owned and sold
@@mallard_duck458 can you wire me some $$ land is really expensive here in Seattle and you seem to be able to buy land whenever you want. Help some bro's out!
Jus wow!!! The way you break down the core fundamentals to controlling recoil is straight LEET SAUCE!
Lucas is PC master race confirmed.
This is hands down, one of the best instructional shooting videos I've ever seen. Great job, Lucas!
Mr. Aimbotkin,
I'm just about your age. Thank you so much for this priceless content. It has helped me progress rapidly.
Sincerely,
A teacher who can barely carry because of draconian laws... damn liberals 😡
Great video awesome tips, after watching this I managed to close my groups a lot closer together after 5 mins of applying these tips. great video
More of this shit
Great video
That mp5 mag change!
Ronnie Fish yeah he nailed that reload at the end
Damn thanks Lucas, was at the gun range yesterday and I felt like I was handling the Ar15 pretty we’ll, I was damn near doing better then my expectations.
That 4x4 looks like a mobile armoury...all ready for SHTF!!! ;)
All the free info in these vids are great. I've seen so much improvement in just taking the info from these vids. The dry fire training tips really show. If i were to take a class though I would feel the money would be well spent at TREX.
How to control recoil with pistols would be much appreciated man!
He's so good at giving instruction, I could care less if what he says is BS or facts. He might be the best I've ever seen at firearm instruction. The pace is perfect. Everything is concise. He knows his shit. IMPRESSIVE as hell! This young man is a star in the making.
"Remember switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading" -Gaz
But also NOT always as efficient....
Says me
Thank you brother for this video and the great info. I truly see that you love to teach others and you enjoy it. Wish you lots of success
Why is this suddenly in my recommendation? Zombie apocalypse is getting near? Haha. Very informative.
Shut up
@@2asianguys667 are you alright?
@@ryann7741 is he right?
Sooooo glad I found your videos. I agree with Joey B. Great tips with No ego. You're an excellent teacher. Thank you.
First of all, LOVED the video! Second of all, I loved the tips on recoil control and they really work! I have a question for you, could you give us some tips on transitioning to your next target? your transitions are extremely smooth, clean, and fast and I was wondering if there is anything that you are specifically doing to achieve this. Thanks.
This is my first time watching a video from this channel and gawd I already love this dude. Thanks for the tips and content
Hey, Lucas! How do we manage rifle recoil properly when we have a grenade launcher mounted on the carbine? I use to hold the carbine near (but not on it) the magazine. Is there any video explaining that? Thanks, awesome content! Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷
I don't comment on videos but I gotta say, first off thank you. Your speaking style and the way you explain is should be industry standard. I learned alot from watching this as I have been apparently using all the wrong technique. As a fellow skinny dude I was wondering if any what muscle groups I should be working on to working holding the rifle in a shooting position for longer periods or will this just come with shooting. Again thank you for a great video
6:44 uses video game analogy to explain recoil management... this man knows his audience.
Hey man I own a lot of firearms and have been around guns all my life and you showed me something new nice job keep it up
Holy shit a video game technique actuality translated to real life
That's a negative ghostrider.. A real world technique actually applied to video games.
Great video Todd, really good information. Your teaching skills are as sharp as your shooting.
6:50 video game tips with Lucas 101
Fantastic video once again Lucas I strive to be where you are 1000% you have a phenomenal skill level that is truly admired by those of us who train to be ready I again thank you for time sir
Goddamn, I wish I could train with you for a week.... great video man, keep them coming, I try and soak up every one you make
The way this man flicks the safety switch is badass
I hate watching these videos... because of Lucas and Daddy I always end up putting huge white or blue numbers on sides of all of weapons, magazines and optics. I am still not sure why I am doing this.
@Tyrannical Grim Daddy refers to Daddy Garand, or Mike rather, from the TH-cam channel "Garand Thumb".
@Tyrannical Grim "Garand Thumb" is the name of his channel. Daddy Garand is his stage name and Mike is his government name. You should visit his channel. It is just as informative as Lucas' channel here.
Numbering your mags is so you can keep track of them. If I’m running different drills and start having issues on mag JH54 then I mark an X on it, if I get to 3 X’s the mag is dead to me. But when you’ve got 100+ mags you need a way to track them. That is what most guys number their mags for I’ve found, JH being my initials so nobody can steal my stuff too.
@@jbparker37 @Tyrannical Grim .... Garand Thumb's channel is as informative but 100 percent more homoerotic.
They always make it look cool. Mine look like a child did it. I started marking my mags. It’s a good habit once you get a few. If you have problems you can narrow it down.
I just wanna find ranges like yours! 😭 you’re seriously goals, both in guns and skills. 🤘🏻 really learn a lot and love your videos. 💙
Pretty sure he made his. Maybe someday you'll be able to do the same
Please stop flexing on me with that Mogadishu replica CAR-15 thank you
It looks cool
One of the absolute best videos I've ever seen.
Me getting ready for school
0:00 - 0:07
Dark jokes is like bullet, not every kid get it
BRUH
best recoil control on youtube. and i've watched almost alllllllll of the gun channels.
3:00
"going to drop the stock down on my body- (he proceeds to throw the gun up, engaging TACTICAL LUCAS mode) - and i'll see what i get"
Just found this guys page and holy cow is he a beast at what he does!!
