My wife and I did three courses with Chris, and they are amazing. I am trying to talk my wife Andrea into going into a carbine 1. It has been a while since I shot the course of fire in the Corps, so I need a brushing up. Not sure if you remember us Chris, Ron and Andrea from RCR. Gonna wait till summer I think, far too cold for oldies like us. See you soon Chris, Semper Fi...
I remember Ron, those were some good times
Stop talking about your sister like that, it's getting creepy and we're all worried
"try and be as realistic as possible"
dude running in a hawaiian shirt.
as a dude who wears a lot of hawaiian shirts, i think, thank you.
I put Hawaiian shirts on all my targets , it helps me with visualization
Nah, try running and gunning in Hanes underwear 🤣 and chanclas.
I expect to see jammies and flip flops.

@@Korruptor that's a potentially realistic scenario😂
@Korruptor That’s how I practice.

Yuppppp
I noticed that - stole it from Žiga !
I noticed that too. Lol
Ive only got one AR. And he's like bring 2 extra.
Or two uppers
@@mail-qh2qc I am sure if you ask Costa, he would suggest you bring multiple of the exact same rifle. But, most skills transfer 100% to the next weapon.
OH MAN! I so appreciate the mag in the pants pocket, practical SHTF scenario shooting.
I just train in Call of Duty S&D since I dont want to waste ammo.
Same, cant afford to go to the range so i just play call of duty.🤷♂️
Arma 3 isn't too bad either.
Ninja Force 5 is so old school. Night Ninja Force 5.1 is where it’s at!
What a privilege to a attend a class taught by a legend and a master. Hope I'll be blessed to someday attend a Costa Class. Stay strong, stay safe and train hard. 🇿🇦
Hey man. Former 101st here. You got some nice land there. Hope it helps you find peace.
.....also are you teaching civvies loophole shooting?
Great stuff. I have a whole list of things I can work on now just from watching the short clips of your classes
Obviously Costa has way more knowledge on the issue than me, a lame normie, but here are my 2 cents. As a civilian, you really need to think about your use cases for a carbine. He talks about engaging targets at 300m with one mag in your back pocket, because that's where a carbine has the most advantage. I agree with that fact. Carbines are effective pretty far out. That being said, as a civilian living in the US, what "realistic" situation are you gonna get into where you HAVE to be taking out bad guys at 300m, and you were hurrying so much you only have 1 spare mag in you pocket?
The only cases I can think of where you gotta be engaging targets that far out on US soil is some far flung without-rule-of-law Nuntnfancy type post apocalyptical scenario, in which case I most definitely have my belt or plate carrier. But let's be real.. the chances of that happening? Slim.
More realistically, you'd have some sort of home defense scenario or some sort of active shooter scenario, where time is tight and you probably only had time to grab your weapon and a spare mag. Any other scenario, I won't even have a carbine, just a pistol. Anyhow... in these cases, you aren't taking shots at 300m. More like 50m? Also, as a civilian, you should be utilizing your weapon in a defensive posture. If I'm 300m away from a threat like that in an urban environment with cover and concealment everywhere, my priority would be to get myself and my loved ones as far away from danger as possible and to wait for the authorities to arrive. I wouldn't be trying to actively destroy the threat unless my safety was directly threatened.. and like Costa said, at distances like that, they most likely won't be very effective.
This was the reasoning I've been taught anyways in all the civilian carbine courses I've been to.
I can see you talking but I'm so captivated by that back drop I can't even pay attention.
I understand what you are saying, but what is the point of having gear that you never train with or are comfortable using. Its kind of like buying a glock with 100 rounds of ammo and putting it away in a safe. Then magically expecting to know how to run it when SHTF.
Most of the country doesn’t have those kinds of distances in my State the only time you could get 500 yard shot would be on the beach
If you can take a class with this man, do it.
See you in October, Chris.
Good basic stuff...
In my opinion the more interested parties the better.
We are living in a very uncertain and divided society.
The more law abiding folks owning guns, the less chance of the Evil ones trying to come after them...
WB-USMC-RET.
I would love to see a EDC class. One for guys who dont hump over 2lbs of gun EDC. Something for Sub compacts/ Micro compacts.
Who the hell is having problems with their AK's at these classes unless they are made by Century or IO?
This guy is a lunatic. Recommends bringing 3 guns for a class with a round count of ~1000. Seriously, let that sink in. If you need three guns just to scrape through 1000 rounds, you should invest in better guns, not a dumbass class from an iffy instructor. Seriously, the spare parts for all likely breakages in an AR would fit in a coin purse and can be replaced in minutes.
@@ourvaluesarewhoweareinadem4093 the internet makes you feel powerful doesn’t it.
@@derrickroberts93 No, having an AR that doesn't break after firing a measly 1000 rounds makes me feel powerful.
@@ourvaluesarewhoweareinadem4093 how many do you have 1000 plus through them? I’m interested to hear
@@derrickroberts93 3 AR-15s and 2 AR-10s. All built myself. Many thousands of rounds. 1000 really is very few rounds. Barrel life alone should easily be 10,000 plus rounds. Generally most parts won't even really show any wear before 5,000 rounds.
If your rifle is breaking at 1K, you have a terrible rifle.
i need to build a new ar. after 13 years my barrels gotta be shot out, havent tried to shoot past 100yrds with it in years. it keyholes well before that.
We need a class like that here in Ct.
Okay. This guy talking about engaging targets out at 500 yards with an AR as if thats what normally happens in a gun fight... and doesnt want to engage in CQC. Well guess what, reality is is when you have to defend yourself like on your property with your AR, its going to be CQC. Maybe 50 yards tops. So train that way. Noone is EVER engaging that far except in war in the middle east. I also believe that if you can, run your gear from day one so you get used to running it. Even as a beginner/novice. If for some reason, the next day your life is in danger and you NEED to run your gear to greater your chances of survival.. i bet you would be wishing you ran that gear during class the day before. It still wouldnt be a bad idea at all to train without that stuff and just a mag in the pocket. But you can train and get proficient at that any other time.
Hey brother, are you really questioning Costa’s teaching methods? I’m betting you’ve never been a “Coast Guard Operator”. Lol! 🤣👍
I think you missed the point. As you can see in the video they are working cqc but since since the range allows it he also teaches shooting at distance. But I get what you are saying.
Don’t just train for home defense, train for martial law / neighborhood watch scenarios.
@@derrickroberts93 bro… you shoot someone at 500 yards you’re going to prison.
I identify as a shadow warrior.
Everyday clothes vs tactacool!!
The Jacques Cousteau sweater is a new look but you definitely can't be an expert on anything these days without the manscaped Hindu Kush beard and shades. Instant credibilty!
You should do a sniper class also. Awesome video. Thanks
What is you actually are a member of Ninja Force 5?
And make sure you actually make sure your gun WILL ACTUALLY SHOOT several hundred rounds at a time without malfunctioning. If you're gun(s) is not ready for the class then spend the money and time to get it working BEFORE the class. Otherwise you're holding everyone else up while you're figuring out why your gun wont work.
Guilty. Over jamming mags was a problem for this doc!!! Hope all is well Chuck.
@@jeffdulik8099 lol. Hey Jeff!
I prefer to show up like Fox Force 5. And I have a DAD joke regarding tomatoes.
Excellent Advice !👍
1500 rounds? You are lucky if you can find 50 a month!
1:38 grip clamp c alert!!
Glad I wasn't the only one to notice!
5 inch groups on a man sized target at 50 yards are still center mass and kill shots.
Sure, but he's talking in reference to setting a zero. Like he says in the video, you can't hit a bullseye at 100 consistently when using that sort of zero.
@@ExplosiveFetus If you are in a firefight at 100+ yards, you are already past fail in your plan. However even at 100 yards+ if you are making 9 inch groups you are STILL putting down a man sized target no problem.
@@obiesunstreak2409 Any good modern rifle with decent ammo is capable of much better groups than 5 inches at 50 yards. This has nothing to do with combat effective hits on a body. If you're zeroing your rifle with groups like that, you either suck or your rifle is shit. You're missing the point.
@@ExplosiveFetus Absolutely not, no one here is trying for "accuracy" shooting. There is just zero need to worry about a shot placement tighter than 3-5". That is well inside the center mass zone and will put the target down.
Spend your time on keeping that group size at speed, reloads, using cover, moving and shooting, and learning how to exfil/extract from a situation. (because it is stupid to stay in a gun fight if you can get out of it)
@@obiesunstreak2409 A refined zero means better chances of hits at range. Look where Costa lives, a 300+ meter shots are a reality. Again, you're missing the point. Nobody said 5 inch groups on a target at 50 weren't combat effective. If you're zeroing from a bench or prone and your groups are 5 inches, you suck. Do better.
Why 480p?
Your talking about not having time to throw your gear on I got pretty damn good at throwing my gear on at the asscrack of dawn after rolling out of my cot from incoming rounds!!!! But then again that's if your gear is with you!!!
Are you okay with bull pups in your classes? Like an X95.
I can dig what he's throwing out.
He is realistic. Despite what a lot of y'all "ninjas" are saying.
If you get in a gunfight, it's not gonna be a gunfight. It's going to be bullets are flying and you're trying to get out of there. If you have to start shooting at someone with your rifle and wearing your gucci war belt..... you probably put yourself in a bad situation. You had time to put your crap on, so you knew what kind of situation you were getting into.
The goal is to avoid those situations.
Best way to prepare for a gun fight, is to get your butt in shape so you can get away as fast as possible. And then maybe poke shots at distance if the area allows for it.
You're not clearing houses and buildings lieutenant dan. You've got no reason to be clearing buildings. Stop training with unnecessary gear.
If you're clearing your house, you're not gonna put on any other gear. You're gonna grab your tool and work as fast as possible. Because seconds mean death.
worrying about what other people are wearing is a little autistic though. If you can run the course with gear you can certainly run it without it. It detracts absolutely nothing from the course whatsoever.
Seconds also mean life.. just mentioning.
When I grab my tool though.. it ain't about life or death but more , will she be able to walk after?!
Good advice !
Hey Chris have you messed with the larue mbt2s trigger, if so are they good to ho
The owner of my local gunstore showed me the Larue triggers. Now Larue triggers in both of my ARs, my best friend uses them as well
@@Ironsight_Army good deal, thanks
@@bama2579 i have a single stage trigger in my shorty & the 2 stage in my 16inch AR. They are amazing!! I dont know why the triggers dont cost twice as much as they do.
@@Ironsight_Army shhhhh 🤫 don’t give them any ideas.
Rescue Randy's, as we used to call them back in Medic training, and might still today. ;)
we do...
Strong and support hand. No.
Got to be special: weapon and REACTIVE HANDS
Starting to look like letterman🤣🤣 all kidding aside, great trip
Fight the algorithm Can I bring my 22lr upper / conversion kit & mags to this class???
Didn't know he was into skydiving jumping off of birds
didn't know the coast guard did firearms training....
DON’T TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CAN’T DO!
Easy Jim
I often have gunfights at 500 yards!
So Mr New Hampshire why did you shoot the guy in Vermont?
Chris Kosta told me prefer to have gunfight at 500 yards.
Never mentioned it was half way across the state back Northeast and no Eastern DA or Grand jury would believe that perp is serious threat at 500 yards. Now that is definitely mall ninja right there.
I’ve only reached level 4 in the ninja force. Is that ok? Also, my AR groups 1.25 MOA with my 62 gr Magtech range ammo. Do you have 1,500 rds of match ammo I can use to get me within the 1/2” limit at 50 yds?
Throw your gun in the trash it’s worthless
@@TH-camuser1aa 😭
@@f5tornadeau ok ok give it to me if it will
Make you feel better
As part of Ninja Force 5 i take offense to this
Be a marksman first. Learn how to shoot and be proficient. Once your a good marksman then add gear. There is a reason in the skydive community they keep you slick in the beginning
But you are a Coast Guard with a Tactical Beard.
Only 6 minutes in and already a great video. I never put much stock into a war belt and all that other extra stuff. If shit actually ever hit the fan, I don’t want to be the guy seen walking around wearing a war belt, chest rig and a pistol strapped to my leg.
Sometimes a show of force is called for. Plus, it doesn't take long to wrap a belt around your waist and click the buckle. Your gear is exactly where you've practiced. Especially if your butt naked!
@@krisgee9553 one guy with a belt is not show of force. 5 guys with AKs and sandals is scarier imo.
This video was cool. Tacticool
SMHJ at the 67 tools that gave a thumbs down. I would rather they leave it up....their fourth point of contact.
first time i shot a 38 special i was 5. been shooting my entire life...teachers...pops and grandpa!!! taking a shootin class....give me a break!
I have taken several classes and learned a lot. Its not about shooting, its about winning a gun fight. Those that say they know how to shoot or have been shooting all their lives are most likely the worst shooters. Seen it all the time . The best shooter I ever saw at a class was a 35 year old women and she was surrounded by LEOs and combat vetrans. She was a victim of a violent rape and determined to never let that happen again. Those that scoff at firearm classes are missing out.
@@johnd4348 fair enough! but you dont want trouble with me. put a toe tag onya quick!!!
@@johnd4348 obviously you never had a father or grandfather that served, so i salute you for learning! guess i forgot not everyone grew up as lucky as myself! i appreciate your input.
@@bangsdagong Not sure what you mean by served. I guess you mean in the Military. If that is so then you assume alot. My father joined the Military at age 17 and fought in the Pacific during WW2. He stormed many of Japanese held Islands. Has the injuries both physically and mentally as a result. My Grandfather fought in WW1 in France trenches. I had 2 uncles killed in Vietnam. As far as training everyone needs some.
Love your content brother, just so you are aware, I have been unsubscribed 3 times now. Not sure what the hell TH-cam is doing.
I've never unsubscribed anyone
@@TheofficialCostaludus oh no, I know it was not you. I think TH-cam is doing it. I wasn't even getting notifications from your channel. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
Bring my bolt action deer rifle to class
In reality when is a citizen going to be shooting 500 meters. I live 10 miles out in the country I have to drive another 10 miles to private property to make 500. Do I know he is a threat at even 200? Just asking?
Some bad hombres coming up your driveway?
Confidence & ability at 500 means 150 is a chip shot under stress.
Always good to know the limits of your kit and yourself.
Dan bulzarians dad
Everyone is a gunfighter these days, just ask them..
Where's Haley @?
who the heck owns so many firearms that they casually bring 2-3 extra rifles and brings extra ammo on top of 2000 rounds minimum for a course? lol Then again, that's the people that go to these sort of events, so never mind. Other than when I was in the Army, I don't think I've ever met anyone with more than 500 rounds assorted in their possession, let alone owns more than about two handfuls of firearms, in total (and all of them are dear enough that they aren't just going to hand them out to strangers) lol. But Seriously, +1 on pickin' on the "Tactical Timmy's" that think relying on a crazy elaborate gear set up in all situations is a thing (fight light: rifle, bandolier, water). But also, you don't have to expend ammunition to do 80% of the skills practiced in this course.
I'm not a baller or well off by any means but I have at least 4 full carbines I could bring with me to a class. I normally bring 2 rifles just in case something happens. It has worked out for me when 1 rifle went down (optic issue) and I had my back up to pick up immediately
@@grayantihero6059 I'm happy for you, you're doing better than most. There's a heck of a lot of people who love shooting that after they and their sig other working decent full time jobs, struggle to pay bills, and usually have to choose between putting money away for what-ifs/retirement or shooting/archery/hobbies
I'm not even an expert shooter and even I can smell the bullsh**. Consistant half inch grouping at 50 yards with a red dot? lmao what?
Also I don't get why you say "don't show up lookin' like ninja force 5" when that's your entire class....
Should I show up to class and belly flop onto the floor?
Ammo is too expensive. I’m learning everything from Persona Strike 5. It’s released on the 18th. Lol, jk.
Watching this made me realize that I'm so poor that Jesus is the only weapon I can afford to train with. Sell your cloak to buy a sword he said but nowadays it's sell your kidney to buy a sword.
100 yards isn’t far at all,
SIKKKKK

Do you guys have any idea what the Coast Guard does? They board and clear ships at sea. They take on drug runners and pirates across the globe. They control hostile ports (think Iraq and Haiti). The Guard trains badasses. Costa knows his shit. You don't have to like him. You should shut up and learn.
@@tom_olofsson LOL!

Same thing happened to me. Resubscribed just now. This video came up as suggested and I saw I wasn’t subscribed anymore. Weird.
@@mongo5564 not "weird" it's fucking youtube and those anti 1st & 2nd amendment haters! Such hipocrits! They complain about people being negligent with firearms and insist people get training on the use of firearms before being able to get one but GOD forbid we use their platform to do that very thing!
Dammit, just paid major coin for some custom tabi boots to accommodate my freakishly large big toe.
Always look forward to your videos. Excellent information, thank you
Great stuff Chris! I need to come train with you again. I went through a Magpul carbine 1&2 class you taught in 2008. Glad to see you are still teaching and sharing your knowledge sir. Stay well and thank you!
Didn't Know Serj Tankian was an operator.
I've always enjoyed and gleaned something from Costas content. I would really appreciate a video on something I haven't seen yet (from any of the instructors, esp on video format) and that's shooting a rifle with a deficient support hand. Consider the support thumb and wrist to have moderate/advanced arthritis.
Just started this video.... 15 seconds in..... the back drop is amazing!!! God Bless America!!!
Dude, you're in front of a green screen, your shirt is brand new and never washed yet, and your beard is too symmetrical to not be cut by a Hollywood beard cutter. The camera cost at least $250K; clarity is fantastic.
This is a professionally produced, cinemathatic cinema movie TV show. When's the commercial?
Your mission/role should dictate how you train. SWAT, Operator, Special units and everyone else should train as they fight. If your mission dictates you carry 14 mags then you better train that way.
If my personal mission dictates I run around with a backpack fed, hand held minigun, does someone have one I can borrow for training?
