@@MrRyushinn Yup lol. That's everything I was issued and carried in 2007. We were still using FAL manual actions in basic then, in the C7 lol. Then the main thing was to rack the charging handle with right hand, then slap the bolt catch with the left hand, then pump the forward assist with the palm or thumb of the right hand. All of these actions are kinda redundant if you're just reloading. But effective if you're clearing a malfunction. Now in modern war schools, everything's been streamlined to just TRB. Tap Rack Bang lol.
so the funny thing is the rest of the world is still in the same spot. If you do weapon manipulation with the barrel pointed in the air 90% of shooters will have a bird because all they've ever known is downrange or at the dirt.
Handlig C7 without gloves. BRAVO ! I wonder how what would be written in the CF-98 form if bolt comes forward while checking the chamber with bare finger. OUCHHHH !
Grabing the cocking handle and pulling it to the rear is considered a gross motor skill, trying to release the bolt catch with its small button is a fine motorskill. In stressful situations like a fire fight, fine motor skills tend to deteriorate.
@@CardinalCannabisCollections under that logic, getting your magazine out is also a fine motor skill. They only did it because dumb recruits kept missing the bolt catch via cupping their hand instead of using the bottom of your hand or your thumb. 100% doable even under stress.
It's a solution looking for a problem. The bolt release is there for a reason, giving it a slap with an open palm takes a fraction of a second and anyone can practice it to the point of it being second nature, even in a firefight. You always fall back to your strongest level of training when under stress. The new changes make me thing we're just unlearning years of PWT so someone at NDHQ can get a Driving Change tick in the box on their PER.
from my understanding, its far more reliable to cock it yourself. C7/C8's (and C9's for that matter), get really gunked up after a few rounds, and Ive had my bolt fail to go foward while hitting the bolt release. But its always seated when I rack the gat myself.
@@MrSimon117 If the rifle fails to chamber a round from pressing the bolt catch, there's a problem with the rifle or the magazine. To get a properly functioning C7/C8 to be so filthy that chambering from the bolt catch no longer works, you'd have to not clean or lubricate the rifle at all for literally thousands of live rounds (or hundreds of blanks).
I'm entering the CAF as a weapons tech, this whole account is pretty helpful since my BMQ code of conduct says I need to be briefed on PO99 and no where else is there an anything about it

I agree the bolt assist is supposed to be applied aggressively to ensure the bolt is fully forward and locked in place. Using the support hand seems awkward and weak. Slap it with your palm and flip up the dust cover in one fluid motion.
This is a good video. Being someone that has fired the civilian AR15 i see many things that take time off when time counts in combat. I never liked the forward assist! The idea of raming a round into the chamber. Makes me think as a kid square peg round hole! What ifs yes are just that but makes you think. The next to use the charging handle to release the bolt when your hand is already by the bolt release 10ths of a second in combat could be the difference between life and death. This is a good instructional tool to build muscle memory this is why we run drills
The reason we stopped using the bolt catch was because too many dumb recruits kept missing the bolt catch and you're less likely to miss the cocking handle than the bolt catch. Or so we were told. I agree, the bolt catch should be used over the cocking handle whenever the bolt is locked to the rear, as it's literally designed to chamber a round once a loaded magazine is inserted.
As uncomfortable to watch as it seemed to be for the poor fellow who acted for the video. The next days training will involve how to sit in a chair for 3/4 of your career.
Hey there. Just wondering if there is a way I can get access to the videos you put on here. I work at the base in Petawawa and was looking to put them on a stand alone computer at our work. Thanks.
A fair number of these videos (including this one) are already on ACIMS. This particular one is all around that site; I think it is the armoured school has the vast majority otherwise. If the standalone is also connected to DWAN, you may be hooped, but then you can get into ACIMS. Depends on the security policy, and what can be transferred into the stand-alone otherwise.
Its like someone mentioned their drills need updating because of what they see in movies, then proceed to film new drills by copying what they see in movies and not hire actual gunfighter professionals. Also confused about what year this is actually filmed in.. 1998?
I can see what you mean about 1998, the fm quality is kind of poor in production. The Major said it was around May 2018 that the new PAM and drills occurred and were effective.
These drill are mostly fine and meant to be a starting point for the 17 year old high school dropout who has never even seen a rifle before. They're a HUGE improvement over the old official drills. Not really seeing what's supposed to be so "movie" about it. And it's the army. Why would they hire "gunfighter professionals...?"
I learned my drills at BMQ in April 2022 and some of these drills are slightly different than the ones I was taught. For example, I was taught to check the receiver, chamber, and magazine housing by physically putting 3 fingers in the lower receiver, than putting my pinky finger in the ejector port with my right hand. On this video, it shows him checking with his left hand.
@@nelsonr1467 our SOF units are using the SIG p320 atm id assume that at some point that will be the handgun to be adopted, but there are a lot of other things that arguably are more important to replace for the average soldier (only ever even seen 1 HP) like new body armour
I thought it was so that a guy could then engage in a little thumb war with himself seeing as his other thumb is already there. This particulate practice seems like an awkward and unnecessary movement.
@@justadude7820 You can engage the safety with your thumb while the finger is still near fire control. Heck, you can engage it with your dominant hand index finger and the time to flip it off safe again with your thumb is negligible.
@@Mrpogful tbh, idk. Some people could have smaller hands thus not reach the safety with their thumb? I think it pretty stupid why this was on the pam, i never do it anyways
He's the chief instructor at the infantry school. If you're part of the command team of one of the two combat arm schools (RCACS or RCICS), they wear the corps cap badge irrespective of which regiment they joined; i.e. The Armoured school commandant takes off his bambi to wear the fist for the duration of your posting.
That’s messed… and unheard of… never have i seen staff at any school where the cap badge you got on DP1 battle school replaced your unit cap badge. I’d never give up my RCR to downgrade to a cap badge that doesn’t even show you’re a trained soldier not in the training phase.
(10:20) This tactical reload is a good way to die in a continuous firefight. What you might do, is pressing the magasin release button while forcibly rotating your rifle along the pipe axis, effectively ejecting the magasin ourwards, and reload with a fresh magasin.
You need magazines to shoot. You can not just throw them around and leave them. How do you continue the patrol or assault if you can not reload mags because you left them all on the ground........
@@philliptallack646 I prefer to collect them after the enemy is killed. I surely collect them directly into my drop pouch, but its not always applicable. ;-)
Interesting to see the new changes. As someone who left in '09, some of these make more sense with an AR platform. I'm more bothered by the fact everyone has full beards and desert boots in garrison. I guess back then a nicely polished pair of black Cadillac's and no shit on your face was the sign of a switched on troop. Now it's high-speed glasses and Gucci kit....dunno man
Sorry, I'll always take an FNC1 over the C7 any day. Any weapon that requires a 'forward assist' is a crap rifle; and the 7.62 is a far better round than the 5.56. That said, keep 'em coming Ryan. I'm still waiting for those Cougar AVGP videos LOL
Guy, I don't think you've actually fired either of those weapons? The forward assist is a GREAT addition to any M16 rifle. And yes, they have a purpose. It is possible to get "stuck" on a damaged or out of spec cartridge. When that happens you're wedged too tightly to use the charging handle to open the bolt, and forced to pound the bolt closed (to fire) as the only recourse. The Garand, M14, C1/FAL AK etc are all vulneralble to this possibility. At least on the M14 and Garand, AK etc You can pound, or even stomp the charging handle in or out of battery. The FAL/C1 has no forward assist...I love the FAL/C1 type rifles, but to be blunt the lack of a good solid charging handle or Forward assist is a bit of a deficit. With a C1/FAL your only solution to a stuck round is to try to hold the charging handle and beat the rifle by the but on the ground to try to extract. Sometimes this doesn't work out as planned.......
@@TheeYellowDart it's because it's what they served with, nothing more. Also the FN FAL is a pretty good rifle for what it is. But times have changed; every modern military issues rifles chambered in intermediate cartridges for their frontline troops to use, which for the vast majority of engagements will serve the soldier just fine.
So much fail in this doctrine, but an improvement over the older garbage. Press checks are dumb, and are only viable with ample light. Teaching a non tactile method is pointless. Fucking with the bolt is a recipe for disaster. Physically feel for the top round in the magazine and which side it is on before loading. After inserting the magazine and chambering a round, remove the magazine and feel the top round again. If the top round has switched sides, you have loaded the rifle, reinsert the rifle with a TAP TUG. Works 24 hours a day, with all rifles, and you never fuck with the bolt. Dry firing the rifle after unloading is absolutely retarded. Pulling the trigger is NOT PART OF UNLOADING. When loading or executing an immediate action drill it is advisable to both TAP and TUG the magazine, ensuring it is seated prior to working the charge handle. Mixing up the steps renders the operation useless. A bolt check is dumb and only works under ample lighting conditions. TAP TUG RACK solves most issues and should be done without additional data. That is, don't think or look at the rifle. If it didn't fire when the trigger was depressed execute a TAP TUG RACK and try again. Should that fail, reload the rifle. Again, looking at the chamber during a double feed is pointless as it only works with ample light. Fingering the mag well and/or ejection port greatly aids in ensuring the stoppage is clear. If you cycle the bolt and listen(and feel) you can hear(and feel) steel on steel, which tells you the action is clear. Reload and continue on. Stop using the forward assist. Another product of institutional imbreeding that was not part of the original design and is completely useless. Forcing a round into the chamber is a very dumb idea.

Also, if the bolt release is too small to be used in a high stress environment, then the mag release is also too small.
