The Japanese guy came in with *ZERO* ego, even though I'm sure he's a boss at airsoft. That's commendable.
ego has never helped anyone in getting better at anything. especially as a beginner.
Most foreign people are humble. Its taught out of us as kids.
Plot twist, he only plays airsoft once a year and is at the bottom of the pack in his league
he aint white that's why lol
When people think of airsoft they tend to think of skirmishing, people running around shooting at each other but there are actually a couple of major disciplines otherwise completely unrelated.
The discipline that he's learned (Action Air) translates well onto real firearms because it follows exactly the same rules as its real firearm counterpart: IPSC. They're treated in the exact way under official IPSC rules - regardless of being Airsoft guns, it's irrelevant - you handle them the same way, you show clear the same way etc. In fact the airsoft training under Action Air is recognised as being so precise that in the UK (where handgun laws are of course especially tough on the mainland - though legal in NI) you can officially convert it (your certificate sign off) to live firearms for competing in Level 2 IPSC matches. That's how well it's regarded.
That's really why the kid is so good, has a great attitude, and needed so little work comparatively.
Dude is even closing the dust cover as he's placing the rifle on safe.
His mechanics are very solid. And he’s incredibly teachable.
He's got his manual of arms on point, and his muscle memory is excellent.
An he learned all of that watching UA-cam videos.
This is why I have much respect for the guys at T.Rex, they extend their (small, pun intended) arms to a niche group of people and help normalize training one's self and prevent snobs from affecting people's opinions.
Yup because airsoft safties are the exact same as real guns sometimes even more
@@boyl.8251 Yes, some airsoft guns mechanic's are almost identical to real fire arms except for the thing they're firing, this guy was a John Wick before he even had his hands on a real gun, game over now. Lmao
If you play airsoft in a dusty/muddy enviroment the dust cover better be closed because dirt sometimes gets into a little spin control wheel that goes in there and sometimes gets locked.
Besides firearms manipulation, airsoft play is better for actual force on force training. Paper targets dont move or shoot back!
@Ayawrxsti not necessarily. If you have an airsoft gun zeroed to a certain range, you're a lot faster at getting to the target than the dudes who walk their bbs onto target instead of using their sights.
You may have to adjust for wind and range a bit, but it still works out decently
@Ayawrxsti
This might be true for most people, but having properly zeroed optics, even for airsoft, is very nice to have.
You learn pretty quick how your gear handles, even in airsoft. If you can't train to adapt in airsoft, you'll never make it to the real world SHTF.
I've picked up and corrected several bad habits of mine because of airsoft, that I may not have picked up on otherwise.
It's all about mentality
Depends on the type of airsoft gun. An AEG? not so much. A gas blowback? Absolutely.
It depends on the whole setup and how you do it. I actually built an AR and an airsoft AR at the same time and made them as identical as possible, including 30 round mags for both. I just swap the rifle and mags on my gear out for the airsoft variant so that I'm changing as little as possible. It's not exactly cheap to do that, but it's definitely the most realistic training aid you can easily get. Even the cheap ones are still good for doing force on force.
Meh.
Most of the thing you will see in an airsoft game won't ever replicate in a real case scenario.
Airsoft can be a good training for many aspects (like coordination and protocols) but you can't compare the two things.
Dynamic operational shooting is what your are searching for, obviously the costs of gun owning and operating are high.
He even wore a similar looking shirt 👔. Now that’s a student
No, it’s a cult member
No he represents the Chinese who copy everything from the Americans but when it comes to quality America wins
@@sarahphyllis5782 wow, that's incredibly racist, besides that guy isn't Chinese, he's from japan.
@@sarahphyllis5782
"When it comes to quality America wins"
IO AK and RAS47: Hold my burger
Also, fun fact: China and Japan are different countries
@@sebastianriquelme6314 China Japan both are same and people are forgetting how cruel Japan was during WW2 and how greedy Japanese Electronics companies were during 90s. If Japan is a different country then why they manufacture most of the products through China. These Asians are all the same. I hope UA-cam or the admin of this channel won't delete my comment
Some one once asked Jerry Miculek what his secret to fast and accurate shooting was.
He responded go shoot about 200,000 rounds and it will come to you.
I can see that. However, good training makes good shooting. To many people focusing on the shooting before the training.
@@JamesonsTravels no offence but you fully admitted you never trained on a pistol. I bet this kid would out
shoot you any day. He didn’t have any pro training before the video, learned all skills from UA-cam. Picked up a gun and the same day was keeping up with firearms instructors. If u gave him a few days on his own he would have figured it out without any help
@@JamesonsTravelsI don't know guns at all, but how correct are his stances? Watching up to the part where the guy is saying "wall" his arm and shoulder positions look kind of weird, almost as if he's got his right foot forward while shooting with his right hand? i know you said you don't really know pistols, but I figure you've at least seen them being used before, right?
@@gilliesiut2332 i think he meant before he joined the marines as he said he was a glock person and even knew about glocks
@@commie_slayer4287 I know about glocks too. Doesn’t mean I own one.

Wish you would have commented on the nasty rifle malfunction he cleared lol. Was professional
It was lighting fast. Watching Lucas' expression as a round actually fell out was priceless.
where can I find that part? Which video was it featured? Thx
@@boom9881 The video is called “Can airsoft translate to real skill”
@@boom9881 it’s around 17mins into the video mentioned by the other guy who replied.
@@Billeh556 wow a year already thx
There's nothing like seeing a guy who could never own firearms in his country get taken to the ol USA and get to live the dream, i bet he had such a rush, happy for the kid
yeah to get firearms in Japan you have to join the yakuza lol
Well he can, but to getting a gun permit in Japan is quite hard
@@meatface906 unless you are current or ex-JSDF you will most likely be denied a private permit as well.
I've known quite a few Japanese airsofters/fans of milsim and I guarantee you they're no fans of the 2nd Amendment. They abhor the thought of civilians actually owning stuff like AR-15s, which they think should only belong to the military. They constantly make fun of Americans and the 2nd Amendment.
@@TheLouHam Liku does not appear to be one of those guys
I just love how the guy immediately takes his finger away from the trigger when the instructor starts putting his fingers too far down range to point. Realistically, there was no chance of hitting him, but the trigger discipline just seems ingrained in a way you don't see in people completely new to guns.
when he goes home and the microwave goes off... watch out
😅
Hahahaha
NO LIKU NOOO
LOLOLOLOLOL
WALLLLLLLLL
When I saw how cleanly he performed that clearance drill that first time I knew he'd be an ace by the end of the day
I really want to see Jameson's reaction to the weapons manipulation drills and malfunctions.
Yea same. Just second nature that takes so much time and practice pretty lol
Ruger 57
There's this humble guy practicing in country without the same privilege and then there's the ND tacticool clowns. It's sheer madness for both to be classified in the same category. How do we prevent people from abusing these rights?
timestamp?
I have followed T- Rex Arms for 3 years. He is a legit instructor.
Lucas (Aim)Botkin was also motion-captured for Call of Duty : Modern Warfare
It's too bad he's extrmemely homophobic and part of a cult.
Marshall Berndt where the hell do you get that shyt? Source?
@@thefunkosaurus was he really?
Torrence Yarborough LOL from him genius. His dad is a cult leader and his whole family are psycho rich cultists that hate gays
The fact he can swap mags and properly check and fix stoppages with such speed is insanely impressive
Sgt: "Dry Fire"
Pvt: "How many reps?"
Sgt: "Till we need to put a TQ on your arm"
I remember in boot camp we dry fired for what seemed like days before we hit the range. I do think it works with proper instruction.
@@JamesonsTravels Same with us. Eventually your hand looks like it got robbed off a mummy with all the bandages and tape.
Yup my hands are demolished. I had trigger finger tooo many times and now at 51 yrs old my hands cramp up, plus I groomed animals for work and that did a # on my hands ,steroid shots hurt I have to admit!!!
I love how T-Rex arms isn't trying to get rich off telling people they have to go take all these high speed classes. They give away plenty of free info, because they actually want people to learn. They are one of few on UA-cam,& in the firearms community that can't be bought.
And if you reach out to them, they’re quick to reply-even with info that isn’t necessarily profitable to them. Decent men doing honest work. Commendable.
It's because their trying to help people, especially when we mind aswell have people prepare while we managed to even still have our amendment
I play airsoft and transitioned to real firearms, my 2 cents, if you treat airsoft like a toy there will be almost no benefit in transitioning to real steel.
But if you treat the airsoft gun as a training tool, you practice good weapons manipulation, proper safety protocols, then your transition to real firearms will be much smoother,
like him my first time firing an m4 and it jammed, i knew instinctively how to clear it and recharge it, because my airsoft rifle worked the same way and i practiced safety, and proper weapons manipulation even when just playing
Same here I have an Airsoft MK18 profile gun amd while on my first time shooting I did really well for a newbie because I new how the weapon felt and how to grip it.
Really hate to be that guy, but buddy M4's are military rifle and cannot be owned by civilians. What you mean is an AR-15.
Hans ! Wrong. Colt makes a civilian model called m4 and Daniel Defense has the m4a1 just to name a few.
@@rajvardhan6072 M4 is just a military designation for an Ar15 platform rifle. It's selector switch has nothing to do with its designation either
This, this, and absolutely all of this.
Not gonna lie airsoft is good exercise especially in fast pace games
Draw, grip, target acquisition, first shot, transitions are all trainable with a airsoft pistol. Pretty much everything accept trigger and recoil control.
Joe M yeah, even some clearing drills are similar depending on how accurate your air soft gun is
I agree.
@Sanuk Jang Lery That's why I love gas blowback guns. They're about as close as you can get to the real thing. I killed the field marshal in a match with my 1911 held over my flat electric rifle. His face was priceless.
Also the artificial recoil is at least three times as heavy as a .22LR. You're right about the noise. So many bolts snapping back and forth.
It’s quite less expensive too
They sure look cute in their matching outfits.
lol. Rex gave him he clothes from 5 years ago
He did say "Latest project" lol.
Bruh hahah
I wanna wear that outfit too
They look like 2 anorexic teenage girls trying to teach something they barely understand.... 😂 whata joke
@@ThatTempesTGuy maybe you should compete against him and see how he shits on your parade?
As an airsofter myself it makes me so damn happy to hear you talk with such respect over us. We’re literally just grown men who play with toy guns. It makes me feel like I have an actual skill... or at least something worth doing. Thank you so much even though you probably don’t even know what you’re doing for us in the community.... and thank you for your service sir.
You’re doing good man. Weather it’s a toy gun or a wooden stick or an actual firearm, you guys are practicing not only the fundamentals of firearm manipulation and safety but also getting actual force on force training. You’re doing good man keep killing it
THX from Germany - SHD Airsoft Team Berlin
Wish you had included his double feed malfunction clearing. That was truly impressive.
He was expecting a real round to pop off in the beginning and he didn't flinch at all. Good man.
Because he was expecting airsoft recoil and concussion
I'm a former active duty Marine and avid shooter.
I've been airsofting for over a year now.
My draw, reloads, target transitions, and situational awareness has dramatically increased as a result.
Good force-on-force training.
Literally have to agree. I went from airsoft to actual firearms and my experience in transition was extremely comfortable and it felt extremely natural like I knew how to unjam a round, reload, good muzzle discipline. Also my shooting down range at basic training felt much better than those around me.
@@bane4743 It's difficult not to play this card, but even as a 4x combat veteran, I found so much more lessons learned and training from airsoft than I ever received in the Corps.
Glad to hear it's helped you as well.
Cheers.

Sweet dude congrats
Hey brother thanks for making the intros short and always getting straight into the video. It’s a rare quality these days
You’d be surprised how much u can learn by just listening and thinking about what you are told
Honestly have learned a lot from Lucas myself, and his stance on the 2nd and the way he stays in touch with the community, has inspired me. And it’s partly thanks to him I’ve been training harder so I can feel confident enough to eventually be an instructor myself. I think this climate is perfect of a time and it’s something I’m politically, and personally, passionate about.
About that political part.. I would love to get into airsoft but not only do I have no money but there is no airsoft field where I live ;( and people aren't allowed to host parties.
The most amazing part of this video is how in less than an hour he went from borderline limp- wristing a 9mm to running rifle drills like a professional.
I remember my drill sergeant saying the people who have zero weapon experience and listens to everything usually do better than the people who had experience.
Only true if people have been train in improper or just different techniques. It’s basically true with everything. It’s a lot easier to learn something fresh then to completely relearn something you thought you already know, especially when there’s so much muscle memory involved.
Thats a lie
@@mrchale2530 why
He trained his airsoft as if the guns were real. That's why the skills translate. I'd be curious to see dedicated pistol airsofters run some handguns, or the guys that use no stock SMGs on CQB fields handle the real life equivalent. The Subject (because I have no clue how to spell his name) has what I would call a passion for this sort of thing. The muscle memory of treating an airsoft rifle like a real rifle to learn the repetition of mag changes, malfunction clearing, hell he even closes the dust cover in the same motion as putting it on safe, literally textbook. And that's just handling the rifle, nevermind the skill to do all of that while also accurately putting rounds on target at an insane rate of fire. I hope that this kid does something with what he's got, especially because he clearly has the passion to invest the hours in it already.
Wow almost as if airsoft guns are built like the real thing oh wait they are.
@@IchigoKurosaki011 'cept not everyone utilizes them like that. This dude understands how the weapon functions as if it wasn't a reproduction - something that not every airsofter with a spec'd out fancy gas blowback realistic replica can claim.
Completely in agreement with you, I train security personnel and all the initial training in the handling of the weapon and then the improvement training in the technique is carried out with airsoft, and then I move to the real weapon in very easy, not to mention that there are many exercises that cannot be performed with a real weapon and if with airsoft, shooting an opponent and his response towards us, this exercise improves your reflexes, enlivens your senses, puts you more in a real situation.
Nice
As an airsofter I'll say airsoft guns translate in close range so 0-60 feet. Any farther and the trajectory of the bb is too different from a real gun because bbs go up. Now in terms of weapons handling airsoft guns translate well but don't translate firearm safety as well. The triggers on an airsoft gun is much lighter
It comes down to the price, you can get airsoft guns that mimic the real thing even down to the trigger, they even have gas systems, Sig made some handguns for Coast Guard and Army that was the same as the real deal... Airsoft guns when used by military or law enforcement are not used for range practice, so the distance it can fire does not matter which is not as important as the lack of recoil anyways.
@@Kirinketsu_ It doesn't ever fire the same as a real gun. A spherical bb will never have the same trajectory as a bullet regardless of the price of the airsoft gun, the aerodynamics are simply too far removed. You'll never have recoil anywhere near an approximate of the real deal and recoil control is a huge component of shooting. I play airsoft, not like the guy in the video though, and 99% of players don't do anything like this guy does in terms of dry drills. Airsoft is fun, it's a poor training mechanism though, certainly no substitute for an actual firearm. Saying that if it gets people into shooting and practicing drills fair enough although as I said most airsoft players I know don't do any drills, myself included.
Well said
CF1001 I think you’re confusing air soft as a game with players and air soft as a training tool. Things like transitions and sight acquisition as well as several fundamentals of form all have a fair amount of crossover, ofc you will never get, recoil and bullet mechanics that are even close but as far as fundamentals air soft can be a good tool
@@sparks6177 an airsoft replica has the same shape and form factor as a real gun so weapons handling should transfer but as I said safety does not
Sucks it’s so hard to shoot like this in New Zealand. It’s possible... but is like 2 licences. I only have one right now...
In my place (Asian country, I prefer anonymity), even gel ball guns are illegal smh.
wow. that is tight.
Dang if I had the money I'll fly you over here for good oll USA glory and let you shoot sum guns
@@JamesonsTravels Australia even requires a licence for an air rifle or BB gun. I have never seen air soft here. Pistol crossbows are illegal and in my state a licence is required for a crossbow. I have seen all of these weapons sold over the counter in Communist China without a licence. Go figure.
I thought they recently banned semi autos in NZ
Mine is a colt 1911....OH that's right I'm British I'm not allowed to own a fire arm in my own country 😑😑😑😭😭😭
and only 1 cop in london has a gun at a time smh
@@dictatorofsalt5902 thats not true? Its an entire quick response armed unit SO19.. Plus close weapon officers.
Same here in Brasil. Back in 2004 the government confiscated 90% of the legal guns in the country and the homicide rate went from 30k a year in 2003 to 60k in 2017. Now, Bolsonaro (wich is not a great president) have made little improvements on the gun laws and we're allowed to at least own a small variety of guns. Altough the carry permit is pretty hard to get, if you're going to the range or coming back from it, you can conceal carry your gun without problem.
Mine is a Dan Wesson 1911. OH that's right - I live in Idaho -- Mine are 2 Dan Wesson 1911's and a Colt 1911. :)
@Poseidons Trident Stupid comment, if you are going to harm some1 you will do it gun or no gun.
The "bad habits" that you talked about was a huge issue for a few people in my basic training company in the army. We had a couple guys and one girl who said they fired all the time before joining the military and they had the hardest time shooting 40s (40/40 shots landed for those who arent familiar) because they couldnt break those habits.
Neo pfp, nice
I found his understanding of how the firearm works and how well and how quickly he cleared malfunctions is amazing. Even when he started out with not so great recoil control, he handled the firearms with confidence.
It's a gap between training, practise on a range and shooting in a combat field.
But muscle memory is the only thing you can rely on.
Still, it's a good way to apprehend weaponry with airsoft guns that have same specifics as real ones.

I saw Jimi Hendrix sing and play with Mitch and Billy in Inglewood in 1970. He was literally glowing. I desperately wanted acid and could not find any. Jimi cured that habit real quick. I watched his hands, I could barely blink so enraptured was I by his movements, body and hands. He literally showed me everything that I needed to know, ever, to play guitar for 55 minutes. Training, indeed.
He became a literal sharpshooter in a day.
He’s better than me cause he can put his side arm in his holster without looking
Yeah, it's also a good way to put a round through your thigh, knee, or foot with a non manual safety weapon like a Glock. I've seen guys do it. I've almost done it. It's easy to do when stress is introduced.
Lol

@@ln6964 uh, its not likely if you know what youre doing... apparently you dont.
@@50shadesofcerakote It's obvious you've never been in life and death situations before. Go back to Call of Duty kiddo.
All he needed was the real firearms instruction, he had the handling fundamentals down.
Airsoft guns are mostly built the same as the real thing. Other than recoil, range of the projectile, and a couple of the internal parts being a bit different, I would find it hard to believe that anyone who knows their airsoft guns wouldn't be able to handle a live firearm.
That Lucas guy is bit of a patronising asshole in the way he talks to the dude, can't expect much from someone who has probably never touched an airsoft gun in their life though.
I had been shooting rifles for over 10 years before I tried pistol shooting. I agree with you there about pistol shooting being harder as I had found it was so much harder than rifle shooting, especially air pistol silhouette events.
My favorite handgun is the Glock 17 - but to be fair that's the only one I've shot on a regular basis (British Army)
Love them. If i carried open that would be my choice.
Most weapons made in Austria are second to none including the Steyr..
@@FourHorsemen-k2y even here in Austria steyr handguns are not very popular but they are actually very nice shooters maybe not as reliable as a glock tough
@@JamesonsTravels My Favorite Range pistol is my Beretta 92FS, I have had it since 2008 and I can't get over how smooth the action is on it. I also have large hands so the large frame works for me. I would definitely use the 92FS for open carry. For Concealed I currently use an FN503 (9mm), I was trying to buy the Sig365 but it was sold out when I went, I'm quite happy with the slim-sub compact, however I am thinking of switching to a compact instead, I don't like only having an 8 round magazine and having to carry a spare. The FN503 I will say has the SMOOTHEST trigger I've ever felt on any handgun, though my favorite is probably still my Father's 2007 Colt M1911 Gold Cup Trophy model. There is No slack at all in it.
We had a Glock 19 a while back. I actually found I Don't like Glocks. Something about the way they shoot just feels too chunky to me, at least the earlier Gens from 2007-2010. I've fired a newer Glock recently when teaching a friend how to shoot and they seem better now in my opinion, but everyone has their preferences. Despite it not being mine, I usually Recommend Glocks to new shooters due to their reliability and how easy it is to find a decent one or even used one.
The video is right though, practice is everything. I was going to carry a Ruger SR9 I was handed down, since it was smaller than my Beretta, but I absolutely hated the trigger on it ( I still don't like it). After practicing with it for 3 months straight I finally got to where I could shoot it almost as good as my Beretta. IT really is practice. Even if the gun doesn't just "click" with you, practice makes all the difference.
Spartan945 man I was looking at getting a 92fs. They seem like good handguns.
My biggest concern of an airsoft to military combat transition would be the fear of a real round's damage. A lack of respect for a round's lagality can affect coverage value and pushing irresponsibly
As a lover of all things guns, and not having nearly enough time or money to always hit the range, airsoft is a nice medium to keep sharp in.
There's plenty of people out there who play airsoft just for airsoft, but taking the time to keeping rifles similar to my real ones, and playing airsoft to keep building good gun habits, from safety around others on the field, to trigger press and moving around cover. Train to a high standard and make sure you're building good habits.
I wish my "Call of Duty" tours translated into real life...
Just kidding. It's nice to see new people getting into the firearms world, responsibly.
Well Call of Duty taught me how to reload weapons (pistols, shotguns, ARs, snipers) ...
The more people get into the firearms world, the world is going to be more peaceful and spread freedom. If you know what i mean
It actually does. I've learned a lot of combat tactics and movement from video games. Especially CQB and how to rush someone in a 1 on 1 fight.
I knew how to load and load an m4 from cod so
No One most streamline video games get guns completely wrong. An example is Most games have the reload animation always pull back the charging handle all the time for the ar platform. The bolt catch exists for a reason, and don’t even get started on zeroing for sights
I watched this video before you made this reaction and even now, it still blows my mind how quick, how very well taught and disciplined he is in firearm safety despite being in Japan and quipped with airsoft. Love your reaction sir, nice to watch a second time with your opinion!
I bet he brought him that shirt also, with the glock and rifle.
Liku was like a super fan of lucas(the instructor) for years and would emulate all his videos in every way with airsoft guns he even copied the way he dressed for a while so him showing up in the plaid shirt is on purpose
There are two kinds of airsoft player. One dressing up like a soldier going out playing wargame. The other one is to go and train for airsoft ipsc. The ipsc one train like using real guns. And they are more like athletes and really really fast.
My whole team is the first player u mentioned. Then theres me ex athlete who started wit real firearms then got in airsoft for training purposes. Long story short im better than them haha
Around the 20 minute mark of the original video, he even turns the safety on and off and closes the dust cover in between transitions and is still just as fast...🤯
That young fella was really good.
A good Instructor, and a motivated Student...outstanding results.🇨🇦
"Where did you learn how to shoot, the internet?" Well......

I’ve seen this before The guy is incredible. All he needs to conquer is recoil management. After 15 years focused on pistol marksmanship, I do dry practice (dry fire) and manipulations 10 to 1 to live ammo. Its my secret sauce that has taken me from good to great. That and purposeful training every session. A plan when I arrive at the range on what skills I want to work on, and doing something other than shooting the same old target at the same old distance. Great review. Thanks.
Airsoft can be a good training tool to start with. I used them with my sons. I had the full metal ones that have the same weight as real firearms. I was able to teach them safety rules with it along with the discipline in controlling the weapon. Once we moved to real firearms, there was still more teaching due to the recoil of the rounds. From a safety aspect I believe they are a great tool to start off with teaching the basics, with less fear of someone getting seriously hurt.

The guy has muscle memory with the ar platform already.
The message here:
Get good training. And practice, practice, practice.
Recoil is super easy to learn if you already know how to handle a gun. In the UK a lot of schools do CCF which is basically military indoctrination for kids. I did target shooting at CCF with an 5.56 L85 at 15 after a lifetime of air rifle and .22 shooting, the first shot surprised me but after that I got every other shot on target and I made the range master suspicious that I was a trained terrorist. When I was legally old enough to shoot a pistol at CCF, I shot some kind of sig and I did better than the range master who'd been in the royal marines for 20 years. Im not bragging, I just wanna drive home the point that knowing how to handle a weapon, even a simulated one like airsoft, will help you immensely.
On the listening part, there's a language barrier there. Liku's English back then wasn't as great. But! They spent a lot more time together than you see in the video. It was real wholesome watching all the buildups, teasers, and BTS stuff leading up to the video release. All smiles and good times.
If I recall from some of the BTS stuff on instagram, Liku got a good chunk of his drills and fundamentals from the TREX arms channel itself? If not, well the main point is he's completely self-trained from video materials on youtube(just not from TREX Arms).
That guy has shot more rounds in this vid than me after one year in military :D
???what kinda of army you were?
I was in National Guard, even in basic training one week we shot more rounds than this.
@@genewellnapata445 I´m in Slovak army, or officially in armed forces of Slovak republic, cause we dont have size of army by number of soldiers. And still that airsoft guy has shot more rounds than me in my carier. From that time i´ve been through one ridiculous shooting exercise with CZ P-09 gun. I´ve shot 6 magazines of 5 bullets i think. Not really a lot. At least we have fucking hell of paper work, thath saves our assess and the most important salary in our army is quite good compared to average cictizen, so it is still rentabile travel more than 200 kilometers daily for a work.
please react to escape from tarkov's "raid" series!
I am going to work on it.
Yes!
@@JamesonsTravels We're looking forward to that!!!
As a person living in a post-soviet country, the only gun I've had experience with is an AK74M(I think it was just a really accurate model of it) that we disassembled in school, that was the best thing I had to do at school
This video and Marine Narrator were AMAZING and Spot On!
Great Commentary and Training Testament!
In my household... we have the following criteria when complimenting someone work... Good, Nice, Great, and Japanese.
I've always hated the UA-cam format of some guy watching somebody else's videos but you actually bring something to the table, if not expert information, an enjoyable presence.
Imo trigger discipline, stance/body position, and good habits could be learn very early with air gun sports.
But, further practicing with real firearms is the way to gain, well, firearms experience.
The most amazing thing is this guy containing how much fucking fun he's having shooting for real.
Been a long time since I was into airsoft, but it definitely gives you the basics; leading targets, being mindful of how much ammo you've expended, hand-eye coordination, etc.
"Whacks off 20 rounds"Giggity
I feel like an ass when I wear my carrier to the range but after getting shot by a negligent woman with a pistol I dont care what people think anymore
wait, what? bro wth happened
@@rustyshackleford3428 some woman at the range I assume was getting mad because she wasn't hitting her target so she slammed her pistol down on the bench and it went off... bullet went straight into my chest
@@nightcap6681 jesus, glad you're okay
III % thats insane did you pursue charges?? Did the range give you a free membership?! HOW??
@@boukm3n it was a DNR range she ended up getting charged with negligent assault with a firearm or something along those lines I never sued her or anything I was satisfied knowing she got her privilege to own a firearm taken away
Before Boot Camp (1975) I learned Sight Picture, Sight Alignment, Trigger Squeeze and Breath Control without knowing I was learning those skills. My friends and I fired thousands of BB's in our backyards at paper plates with magic marker bullseyes. Shooting the M16 felt like a BB gun with a bit more recoil.
I enjoyed how the reviewer used logic to breakdown, that it should be an easy transition,due to the fact of his level of airsoft,once he understands recoil,weight of trigger pull.The kid was impressive,but as stated he's at the top of his world in airsoft.
T Rex is this damn good and with zero military or LE training. He’s pretty much self taught
This also says a lot about those virtual shooting galleries that use replicas of real weapons with simulated recoil.
Being a fast learner is great, but being just as fast at relearning is ideal.
As a Marine myself I can assure you, we never did drills like this. I have 0 clue what the Marine reacting does in his personal life but if he doesnt train like these folks, he's not the person to be judging how well they're doing etc.. solely based on the fact he's a Marine.
Welcome to UA-cam, you can find hundreds of videos from many countries of former and active service members using their "experience" and title as a way to seem like an expert on the subject.
In all honesty, he's Asian, he has discipline. He doesn't have the arrogance and overinflated ego of most Americans. He's humble enough to understand that listening to his instructor and paying attention helps with his improvement. I'm impressed with his jam clearing and reloading skills prior to this corse. Outstanding performance.
Some people can't understand this
Yep, fundamentals aside, having ZERO muscle memory for shooting a real gun aside, he very quickly adapted to the live fire setting. His manipulation, troubleshooting, and adaptation is what happens when you dry practice. Great job friend from over the pond.
Airsoft looks fun as fuck with those crazy courses.
I can say that I played airsoft massively when I was 14-18 years old. I played almost every other day with spring, gas, and electric. The most accurate airsoft gun I shot was spring rifle with a heavy weight bb. Then when I got to basic training and shot a weapon for real I felt extremely comfortable. It felt natural.
Norwegian fire range leader here.
Favorite pistol CZ Sp-01 Shadow, don't have weapon laws that open for personal use except from hunting, competition and training on range.
Keep in mind T-Rex is a well known instructor and knows his shit
Bwahahaha!
@@OnPointFirearms care to elaborate on that or are you just a mad boomer that a young kid knows more than you? lol
@@Lagaholic Lucas has no real world experience, he's "self taught" He went to one 3 gun competition and placed dead last. Instructors are proven by either being high level competition shooters or by having real world (mil/LEO) experience. Being able to shoot fast at really close ranges with zero stress isnt credibility. He shouldnt be an instructor.
To be fair, Lucas teaches folks how to pull triggers better and that's it, how they apply it is up to them, in either a competition or tactical situation. Because at the end of the day, you are simply pulling a trigger. Just food for thought.
@@ML-nj8fq He seems fine to me... lets be honest, you can be a good instructor without having been shot at or shot at somebody. That's fuckin retarded to say "YoU CaNt Be a GoOd iNsTruCtoR If YoU HaVe No RW ExpEriEnCe"
He teaches good shooting fundamentals, has great ideas on how to improve shooting and accuracy and who tf cares if he dresses up like DELTA Force. He's a good shooter and teacher.
Also, in regards to the 3 gun.. (taken from another comment) - " His raw time was 530 with a single 10 second penalty of hitting a no-shoot and no penalties for ANYTHING ELSE. He was not disqualified, and his score on the chart (searched it and investigated myself) should have put him at spot 29, a very very respectable showing. NO IDEA WHY HE WAS DISQUALIFIED."
We usually freak out our neighbors when setting up airsoft lanes in the back yard... CQB, reflex Fire... yada yada... they just be hatin...
As someone who has been taking classes the part that immediately impressed me was how quick he did the tap and rack when it didn't fire instead of just freeze.
I'm a CZ fanboy for sure, ever since I first held a Shadow 2 a few years ago. I carry my S2 and use it at competitions too. I love it.
I grew up and was taught firearm basics by my grandfather who served in the Air Force, so I new things like stance, grip, aim, and trigger control/discipline. But once I started playing airsoft I honestly learned way more. Ambidextrous shooting, weapon manipulation, and situational tactics. And I can honestly say it transfers over, I’m not say I’m a pro or anything of that nature, but it’s definitely improved my real steal range time and training. I suggest airsoft to everyone who’s interested in real fire arms training, it gives you a fun, safe, and exciting environment to learn and practice. I highly recommend beginners to try airsoft that want to build confidence and technique if not comfortable yet with real firearms.

My shooting pistol is a Beretta M9, my favorite pistol is a Beretta M9, my carry pistol varies between the M9 or a HK USP .40. I prefer a double action pistol with a hammer. I also practice alot with ruger mk3 .22s or a walther ppks 22
Love the M9. It was a service pistol for a reason. High capacity, good accuracy and handled well. Easy to take apart and clean.
@@Krezmick its better for more reasons like a 2 peice firing pin, and the open slide gets less dirty. It is an amzing sidearm
I am already scared of loud sound how am I even supposed to hear a gun shot I prolly would be shacking by then lol
Jamesons love to see how good your channel has been going heep working hard stay motivated sir 👌
Contacts are deafening and the force of incoming rounds can be palpable if they are larger calibre's. I completely understand why soldiers in WW1 suffered from shell shock. It must have been harrowing.
Preferred Carry & Shoot: M&P Shield 9mm. I trust this firearm implicitly with my life. 🇺🇸
Same weapon I own. I wouldn't mind trading it in for the 2.0 though.
When i became a Deputy Sheriff back in the 80s, I had never fired a handgun. My Dad, SF, taught me how to shoot a BB gun, that was it. however, I knew it was Practice, Practice, Practice. I would spend hours at home pulling my duty weapon, which was a S&w 686 running .38+Ps, out of my holster and getting a sight picture. The holster was a Safariland level three break-back. Then once at the range, I knew the BOOM, but didn't know the weapon. The trigger broke about a third of the way back. I learned my weapon and could hold it just at that point.
I will say this. That 686 was one of the smoothest guns I had ever fired when it had a full .357 round coming out the barrel. The other was a 1911.
Dry firing has really helped me with getting used to my iron sights, snapping on to a piece of tape on the wall or doorknob or anything really, definitely recommend it.
I also use the TV for quick changing targets with whatever character comes on from which side
This guy shoots better than half the Marine Corp chill out everyone :))
Why you gotta do my Corp like that?? 😂 I feel attacked now lol
Hellyrah
Yeah but marines have people shooting back at them.
Yes it does keepp at it man u have me as a loyal fan I like guns alot I got alot
4:00 about, thanks for explaining that I was pretty confused when I first saw that video
You said it all, brother:
1. Good instructor
2. Listen
3. Practice.
No matter if you have a firearm or not. If you have airsoft and understand the fundamentals and most importantly TRAIN HARD, you will be as good as this kiddo.
My pistol of choice is the hi-point C9 🤪
well. remember i said there was not any bad pistols anymore. i am change my answer.
Your too far to be fixed
Would love to see you strap on a go pro and try out airsoft, once the whole covid situation gets better.
When I went to shoot real guns for the first time I too was told that my airsoft experience did alot to help me do stuff right, such as how to hold a gun, how to use the sights and in many cases also how to operate the guns. Gas Blowback airsoft guns are usually operated the same exact way as their real life counterparts and even have a little bit of recoil from the moving slide / bolt. Of course airsoft guns are noticably less accurate, usually don't eject shells (which takes away a whole lot of stuff that could potentially go wrong) and are seriously limited in range, but the handling can be much the same as with a real gun, if not exactly like it except for the lack of recoil.
You know Jamesons seems like a great guy and I'm more than appreciative for his service. I just wish he did more non react content. He clearly has a lot of insight and experience
I would like to hear some of his social commentary on the direction of things in the U.S.
