- Sailors preparing for operations have been trained to use the new Glock 17 pistol during a training course run at HMS Raleigh's Military Training Unit. The new pistol replaced the Browning as the pistol of choice in all three Services earlier this year. During the first Glock course held at HMS Raleigh, a group of 17 sailors were taught how to safely fire and maintain the pistol over three days. The course culminated in a formal assessment to ensure that each sailor could use the weapon competently and accurately. produce the goods when required." While the Royal Marines typically use the pistol in close-quarters fighting, Royal Navy aircrew, divers and sailors involved in boarding operations carry the pistol. All Royal Marines and Royal Navy personnel deployed to Afghanistan are pistol-qualified.
I read this somewhere but I'm not sure if correct:
If you join the Royal Marines Commando then pass your 32 weeks and become more advanced you can split into 27 different specialisations and one of them is General Duties; I'm just gonna show you this information about it.
GENERAL DUTIES
General Duties Marine, serving as a Rifleman in a commando unit, joining the Fleet Protection Group guarding the UK’s nuclear weapons or training to board ships at sea as part of a Fleet Standby Rifle Troop.
The sergeant said "the Glock allows you to cycle the slide and have one in the pipe and then holster, which the Browning didn't have", or words to that effect. Well,you can cycle the Browning slide, put one "up the pipe", then put the piece on safety and holster. Anyway, Glock is a great piece.
Sargent ? Really ?
Spelled sergeant
Auto correct. Anyway he's not a sergeant is the point I'm getting at
Well I mean technically he is, he's a Colour Sergeant.
I just bought one of these Gen4 Glock 17s the other day. It's my first Glock I've had in about 10 years and my first 9x19 Glock (my others were .40, .357 Sig, and .45). I haven't fired it yet but it should be a sweet shooter with standard-pressure ammo. Good choice for the UK military.
joe louden you should have gone with the sig p320
Nah. I have many Sigs. Just bought a new P226 MK25. I really don't like the P320. It has a ridiculously-high bore axis for a striker-fired pistol. It's basically the failed P250 with a cobbled-together striker system put in place of that terrible DAO trigger system. Being able to change the frames so easily is cool, but compared to a Glock or S&W M&P, it's too awkward. The Beretta M9 would still be fine if they put the thumb safety on the frame where it belongs instead of way up on the slide.
joe louden that's fair enough, I am not the biggest fan of glocks I don't like the trigger on them I don't like the low bore axis and I don't really like the sights because they are pretty low quility so for me i would have to upgrade the trigger and sights. The only glock I find attractive is the 19 or 23 because there size is perfect for concealed carry. when it comes to full size though I think there are much better options like p320 which I am a big fan of because you get sig quility but it's at the same price point as the glock and you get the nightsights, a good trigger, nitron Finish and very good ergonomics all things that glock don't do very well. and then if money is not an issue you have the p226, h&k vp9, h&k usp, berreta m9 etc all in my opinion are better guns but I suppose it's all personal preference.
joe louden yeah I don't like safety on the m9, every time I shoot one I always find it awkward, if they put the safety where the hammer drop is on the sigs I think the safety would work a lot better.
Eh u can put a round up the spout of a Browning 9mm. Cheers colours ...
Great shooting
would a warfare specialist get a pistol
I have no idea but I'd be interested in finding out.
I remember once being told by a RN officer there was nothing scared him more than a sailor with a gun. [only joking].
I've seen a picture somewhere of an RN rating wielding an SLR from the Falklands era, probably last ditch air defence alongside GPMGs, have to agree they look pretty scary!
Makes sense the British armed police also use the Glock 17 gen4. Also want to say... What's with all the negative comments on here? I'm Ex British Army.. And We have been begging for New up to date kit.. equipment.. weapons and vehicles.. So when we get New stuff which is more reliable.. effective.. And is much better that the latter.. Just be happy with it.
how do you join a boarding team?
Great move by the British Mil, IMHO....There is no better choice out there!
oleheat do aircrew in the royal navy get issued this sidearm
@@maxhunt5702 I believe it applies to all services.
Do weapons engineers in the Royal Navy get pistol training?
I think so
***** everyone is given pistol training. It's part of the basic training everyone has to do
moonbeam Funnily enough it doesant happen in the UK nearly as much as the US
moonbeam how has cuba got anything to do with HMS Raleigh?
I never understood why the BAF didn't try to get their hands on the Glock sooner.
Granted Glock 17 is a good handgun, but saying you can't put a round in the spout safely on the L9A1 is a load of bs.
Joe Shmoe Gluck is a Lorde of crap Sig 226
Got to fire this in Jersey our British Channel Island next door this summer! Great that you can own one over there... And an SA80 too if they ever release them in semi-auto for civi's! :D
Who stands out as a easy target if someone’s shooting at you
Doesn't the SAS use the Sig Sauer P226?
They did.. however the SAS also use the Glock 17 gen4. Or the Glock 19 gen4.
I like it
Depend were your ship will go like if it went to south america you will have to coast Guard to make the arrest .
Does everyone who goes to HMS Raleigh go through this training
No, only certain roles will have this training.
@@JB-zd5nzWhat roles would that be? Sorry for the late reply
Miltr 🔫
the browning uses what is called double action which means you can carry it round up the breach depress the hammer then when ready to fire just pull the trigger.
No. Browning Hi-Power is a single action design, similar to the Colt 1911. You can chamber a round and put the piece on safe ("cocked and locked") which is common in many jurisdictions that allow 1911 carry. Glock is called "safe action" with internal safeties that need to be disengaged by the trigger before the weapon will fire. Cheers!
No, the P35 is not double action. It is single action, you fucking twit
Nope.
BAF? Really.... HMAF, not BAF...
jack hawkins Americans call it HMAF , we call them BAF.
they cant hold the pistols propperly
MrFreefonix fuck off
0:09 that's a terrible target, even if it was shot at 25 yards.
1:13 that's a total lie. The proper form of carry of the Browning 1935 is the same as the 1911. It's called "Condition 1". The fact that your comment implies that you don't teach that speaks for itself.
2:02 that's an odd thing to say about a full size pistol.
Thompson & LeGarde proved 100 years ago that a large heavy pistol bullet is required to stop a man .45 at 950 fps 230 grain 9mm 1200 fps 120 grain
No pistol in 9mm is good it's been proven totally ineffective the same as all armies especially the US now admit 5.56 is completely ineffective past 200m the reason most armies are changing the M249 or MINIMI over to 7.62 there is only a 30% chance of a first round stop with 9mm 60% with .45 so it works like this .45 first shot they are going down second shot they are never getting up 9mm first shot they won't notice nor the second by the 3rd they are probably aware something is up by the 4th or 5th shot they may start to react to it thats why you need so many bullets in a 9mm pistol it's not just for extra shots you desperately need them so lads if you have to defend yourself with a 9mm shoot till the fucker drops or it will be the last thing you ever attempt. FBI report on pistol ammunition Given adequate penetration, a larger diameter bullet will have an edge in wounding effectiveness. It will damage a blood vessel the smaller projectile barely misses. The larger permanent cavity may lead to faster blood loss. Although such an edge clearly exists, its significance cannot be quantified.The individual may be unaware of the wound and thus has no stimuli to force a reaction Strong will survival instinct, or sheer emotion such as rage or hate can keep a grievously injured individual fighting, as is common on the battlefield and in the street. The effects of chemicals can be powerful stimuli preventing incapacitation Adrenaline alone can be sufficient to keep a mortally wounded adversary functioning. Stimulants, anesthetics, painkillers, or tranquilizers can all prevent incapacitation by suppressing pain, awareness of the injury, or eliminating any concerns over the injury. Drugs such as cocaine, PCP, and heroin are dissociative in nature. One of the effects is that the individual "exists" outside of his body. He sees and experiences what happens to his body, but as an outside observer who can be unaffected by it yet continue to use the body as a tool for fighting or resisting. Increased bullet mass will increase penetration. Increased velocity will increase penetration but only until the bullet begins to deform at which point increased velocity decreases penetration. Permanent cavity can be increased by the use of expanding bullets, and 01 larger diameter bullets, which have adequate penetration. However, in no case should selection of a bullet be made where bullet expansion is necessary' to achieve desired performance.-’’ Handgun bullets expand in the human target only 60-70% of the time at best. Damage to the hollow point by hitting bone, glass, or other intervening obstacles can prevent expansion. Clothing fibers can wrap the nose of the bullet in a cocoon like manner and prevent expansion. Insufficient impact velocity caused by short barrels and or longer range will prevent expansion, as will simple manufacturing variations. Expansion must never be the basis for bullet selection, but considered a bonus when, and if. it occurs. Bullet selection should be determined based on penetration first, and the unexpanded diameter of the bullet second as that is all the shooter can reliably expect. It is essential to bear in mind that the single most critical factor remains penetration While penetration up to 18 inches is preferable, a handgun bullet MUST reliably penetrate 12 inches of soft body tissue at a minimum, regardless of whether it expands or not. If the bullet does not reliably penetrate to these depths, it is not an effective bullet for law enforcement use
Lol where did you google that information from pal? Lol stand in front of a 9mm round.. And let's see if it stops you. Also 5.56 not effective past 200m? It's effective and accurate to 300m and harassing fire up to 500m. Also a .45 isn't the best round either. It's not as accurate as a 9mm.. in fact compared too the .40 s&w and .45acp the 9mm Was the better and preferred round. The US Army got rid of there colt 45 1911 As the colt could only hold 7 rounds in its magazine.. where as the Beretta 92fs (m9) could hold 15 9mm rounds in the mag. The Glock 17 holds 17 9mm rounds in the magazine. Having more rounds/capacity allows it to become a stand off weapon.. with 7 rounds in a mag in .45 you'd be lucky if 2 hit the target you were aiming at. With 9mm if you had a 15 round mag.. you could put up to 15 rounds into the target.. don't forget the 5.56 round has higher velocity and is more accurate than the 7.62. In a carbine.. You would be able to shoot more accurately with A sa80 A2/A3 or a m4 than you would with a ak47 or SLR/FN FAL
It was a mistake to sell you our pistols!
I'm sure your countrymen who rely on Glock for a living would disagree with you.
Not really, you make more money XD
raptor5908 bit disrespectful
How? I can't see Austria being too upset. They're both part of NATO anyway and they only stand to gain from it.
anyone else thinking we should have kept the browning HP because well stopping power
Samuel They're both the same calibre (9mm), so 'stopping power' is exactly the same.
Both 9mm.. But the glock hold 17 rounds.. And is more reliable
