"Kids wake up, Modern tactical shooting uploaded a new video" 7:45 Holy cow, I think I was the one who asked that!

In my life’s experience, one of the most difficult things for people to do is admit that luck had any part in their success. There’s a side of human nature to want to attribute it 100% to skill, planning, knowledge, etc.
Frank Proctor says something similar, that he was a Green Beret teaching other Green Berets how to shoot and he learned that civilian competitors here were doing things which he hadn't even known were possible.
On the M7: Henry from 9HoleReview has an interesting take. To paraphrase: what will likely happen is they adopt the rifle in 6.8, use it for while, and then the reality of our logistics sets in and the Army does an A1 version of it* that is basically just a 7.62 NATO version with some fixes. Since we have billions of rounds stashed around the world, it'll take decades to build up a stockpile of 6.8 ammunition since it's made by one company and we still need to burn up a lot in training. During that buildup we still need a way to use the rifle in a proper war, hence the likely 7.62 conversion. _AND_ , separate point, if that 7.62 conversion happens, then the M7 will basically become a SCAR-H/SCAR17 replacement which I'm totally cool with and actually happy about. *or ideally, in my opinion, call it the M8 to avoid confusion, but then again this is the Army that adopted the HK417 as the A1 "variant" of the Knights SR25 M110. Different weapon systems, different _magazines_ even, still just an A1 suffix. I'm 100% sure they did that to cheat the submission and bidding process, the same way the Marines cheated with their M4 replacement by adopting an "IAR" and then discovering that every Marine needs an IAR.
One other grip training technique is rice bucket training. It doesn't do as much for pure grip strength as the grip trainers but it helps with other parts of hand and wrist strength they don't work out and can minimize hand and wrist injuries.
I know this is a dumb request, but, I would love to see a video of plate carrier and/or body armor interaction with the M4/ar15 stock and cheek weld. How to make it work in real combat. I've seen nothing of value on the subject. Not flat range theatrics, but real combat shooting positions, what stocks work, how to shoulder a rifle with bulky soft body armor (very common in modern engagements with artillery), sight height, different body types, etc. Shooting a rifle with a shirt, standing, against a visible silhouette sure it's easy, keeping yourself a small target and/or perfect shooting stance with a vest, while leaning over a dirt pile for shooting at a suspected enemy position, meh, not so much.

God, I wish that thing about MOLLE rucks was true. I used one of those for my first 6 months or so in the stan to haul my 224 before I plonked down some cash on a 3rd party set-up (I think it was a Blackhawk- it had a velcro flap in the top that was perfect for the 60 tube). Was so much happier when I went to CA and, in the exceptionally rare instances where I had to haul a ruck somewhere, it was a MALICE one.
I can speak to luck. In 2007 I was in Iraq as part of a mounted reconnaissance team. I was sent to a class in camp liberty for a week to take a class on ground penetrating radar for mine detection. It was a standard classroom setup. During a break in instruction a soldier in the back row stood up and exited to use the latrine. Not 30 seconds later an AK round came through the wall and went right through his now empty seat. Had he waited 30 seconds later he’d have been gone. Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. Call it luck, God, fate… I don’t know but it’s best not to take things for granted.
I’m glad someone with real world experience is saying not to use a chest rig. I wear vests for work and it’s really not that bad to wear a vest and Walk around/ drive cars and so on. There’s no good reason to not wear armor.
Appreciate the video and answered questions Jeff! I'm thankful I got in a training a while back and look forward to hopefully getting in more in the future! Appreciate you brother!
Does anyone remember which video it was where Jeff proved to us that our fine motor skills will still work under stress and fatigue which is why you dont slam the bolt release button on an ar-15?
I appreciate your information greatly. There is a fascinating shift right now taking place where people are beginning to question body armor relevance when required to move through the mountains as a group or when direct contact is not immediately expected. I appreciate you touching on this, but feel that topic alone is worthy of expansion and lengthy discussion. Reality does not always match ideas. A critical point you mentioned is how much someone can carry before their performance becomes degraded. I'll note that the men in the trenches right now in Ukraine are carrying as much ammo, armor and water as their bodies will allow from what I can see. Nice watch, by the way. Thanks for all that you do.
I agree need to talk about body armor more, yes guys in Ukraine laying down some serious lead. Supports my argument about just how much ammo one can go though.
What’s the advantage of the 3DAP over MALICE? Been carrying MALICE for a few years now and I’m pretty happy with her, but I came up on ALICE so she’s my go-to.
opinion question- do you think modern kit set ups and equipment retention should take into consideration the need to high crawl/ low crawl in combat for a near peer conflict? I think modern kit set ups and design make this activity very impractical as everyone is so influenced by assault kit set ups, but in Afghanistan we almost never had to crawl into position anyway so it didn't matter.
I bought the Sig Spear in .308 and absolutely hated it. It's too heavy, too unwieldy, and that was with a red dot and no suppressor attached. Adding the suppressor plus the LPVO and PEQ, that thing is going to be hated by Joes in my opinion.
18X here shipping this fall. I hear rumors that SF is losing a large portion of their guys with combat experience, and is in somewhat rough shape in that regard. If we shifted to a purely advisory role, at what point would we still be legitimate advisors if our ODAs didn't have much combat experience anymore? Curious your thoughts.
Combat experience helps but being forward thinkers just as good..., Don't just rely on cookie cutter solutions. I despise hearing "that's how we have always done it". The guys who did the initial invasion of Afghanistan years ago, 90% no combat experience, just great problem solvers.
Great point. I could see how trying to apply GWOT experience to a conflict like Ukraine or Taiwan might be problematic. Experience is valuable but it can also cause bias if unchecked
The real answer; those guys think. They're not only physical gladiators but gifted in intelligence aswell. Who tf wants to fight for the woke shytshow? Find someone else to be a Soros puppet.
Are all of your classes in New Hill NC? I live 2hrs away and im having a hard time finding trustworthy and vetted instructors in my area. Love the information you put and how you lay it out in your videos
In Afghanistan 2008, I saw Spanish soldiers rocking G36s and P38s. Hammer fired pistol, just like the M9 I was issued. My complaint about the M9... It's way to heavy for a sidearm. It's better than harsh language, but it was a hunk of metal. Some of our allies were using Glocks. Yes, I coveted the Glock...
We worked with Romanians at FOB Lagman in '06, they were good guys. But maybe I'm just biased bc their colonel got us drunk the last night we were at the FOB lol. Also I recall the locals freaked out bc they thought we brought the Russians back due to the ex Soviet hardware they were rocking.
sorry I'm not up on current models, but any brand of M1911 single stack that already runs reliably, can then be modded for competition. Thats what i did with my Kimber when I ran limited 10 years ago.
Great video, Jeff. Could you talk about the newer trend of elevated optics on rifles? Seems like we've kind of gone full circle with guys back in the day mounting optics on carry handles, then moving to flat top uppers and dropping optics to as close to the bore line as possible, and now we've got all these optic risers on the market now. What optic height did you prefer during your time in SF?
They're good for passive NV sighting. I have trouble below 1.6". There is a practical limit. 1.93"-2.26" maybe. Definitely diminishing return above that. And QD mounts mean you can swap day night optics easier maybe.
@pleaseadoptus I agree. Any taller than 2.26 is alot. I shoot lower 1/3 mostly but I have a tall neck and I've been trying around the idea of 1.93 to try soon. I've tried it on other people rifles but not my own yet
@ModernTacticalShooting do you see any validity to having a red dot mounted on top of a magnified optic? The way I see it is, you can benefit from the heads-up position for close range but still have a traditional long range shooting position/cheek weld. Thoughts?
I heard a JSOC guy, not CAG but maybe intel guy, say that the blackouts were because of a previous security leak. Cant for the life of me remeber who or what podcast though
Another question. So I've met a lot of other young guys going into SOF, it seems like a large portion of them just want to earn the "operator" status and look cool. Did you see a lot of GBs like that in your time? And do you think the regiment does a good job of getting guys who are in it for the right reasons and getting them in the fight? My biggest fear of going into SF if that I'll end up on an ODA with a bunch of dudes who just wanna post on instagram about how badass they are and we never actually do any meaningful work lol.
SF aren't operators. Those are in JSOC. A lot of guys have the idea that getting into SF means they'll be doing what JSOC does, then get disillusioned sometime between week one of SUTs in SFQC and their first year in Group. It's just that they didn't do their due diligence in researching what SF's primary missions are.
@@LRRPFco52 I didn't realize "operator" was an official title. I thought it was just a colloquial term that could refer to someone on any SOF unit. But you're saying that it should technically only apply to those in Delta, DEVGRU, or 24th STS? I've heard a lot of GBs refer to themselves and others as "Special Forces Operator" so it's kind of confusing.
@@ExtraRice365 A lot of people have borrowed the term since GWOT, including SWAT Teams, SF CIF Teams, and SEALs, but it only applies to JSOC. There are other units within JSOC as well. If you look at the organizational culture, training cycle, and the fact that JSOC are always in a wartime mode, you can see the differences. There are a very broad set of skills Operators need to be proficient in, which bridge between military and non-military tasks on-behalf of the National Command Authority, that SF, SEALs, most units in Ranger Regiment are not required or expected to do. It isn’t just a cheeky term to be exclusive, but actually means many things.
I'm really not trying to talk shit on the fella, but is the guy on your right (our left) @24:45 a long tabber? I know not every team guy is a chiseled Hercules but he seems a bit on the pudgy side. Are standards lax after you've been on the teams for a while?
Everyone does things differently, that can be an issue for some. DELTA takes people from all over. The briefing to apply is offered to lots, even random Navy & Army.
Also I think I missed asking u can M4A1 carbines with URG-I rails mount under barrel grenade launchers (M203, M320 & FN40GL) with no problems or need specific parts & adjustments to get things go smoothly?
It would need a pic rail on the MLOK to attached, but honestly attaching the 320 to your rifle is an awful idea. Makes both the rifle and grenade launcher less effective.

Every combat tour was the ultimate multi-gun match.

Great video, Jeff. Could you talk about the newer trend of elevated optics on rifles? Seems like we've kind of gone full circle with guys back in the day mounting optics on carry handles, then moving to flat top uppers and dropping optics to as close to the bore line as possible, and now we've got all these optic risers on the market now. What optic height did you prefer during your time in SF?
The high optic trend personally I find silly. It offers marginal benefit only at very close ranges..Driven by great social media marketing.
Not even a new thing. A.R.M.S. was making loads of popular risers in the early 2000s
