I definitely think protecting the vitals is a good idea, and I also think a competent shooter will aim center mass. But just like Clint said, they may not be competent enough to *hit* center mass. Seems like the control for that risk is have tourniquets handy and shoot good faster than they shoot bad 🤷♂️
You wear body armor because you're jack shit outta luck if you catch a round in the kidney or the central body aorta or heart or lung. You protect the parts you will die from if they're punctured and you also cannot stop-gap in the field; for the parts that you will die from if they're punctured but you CAN stopgap in the field, you carry tourniquets; those being the important arteries in your extremities.
It is good for staying on target with follow up shots when you are mag dumping with a binary trigger. I miss mag dumping. Put a brake on a 12.5 or shorter and have the indoor range to yourself.
@@drengillespie You don't have to miss mag dumping , there are plenty of ways to earn what ya need to get back to what you love. The last sentence in your post had me laughing ( thanks Dren I needed that today ), yeah i bet it yells .
I had a history professor like that. Even though 100% of the class always had the hair on their necks raised, there was always a few that loved and respected the man for speaking nothing but truth.
Heh, I had an ear plug fall out just as I pulled the trigger on my 10.5 AR. MAN did that sting. I can't even imagine firing it inside. For now I keep my electronic ear pro on my nightstand but I really need to invest in a suppressor.
I never took the brake off my gun when I go to an outdoor range I like to have my space at least three bays across. I use a VG6 Epsilon 5.56 on an 11.5.
When I was a new shooter I once accidentally shot my 9mm shield without earpro. Even that 9mm took away half my hearing for like 15 minutes and my ears were ringing sporadically for days.
Dude, we all need a buddy like that every once in awhile to straighten us out. That's what a good friend who cares would do. The cussing makes memorable. :)
And the thing people don’t realize is, that yelling only turns into a quiet ringing that occasionally flares up and gets almost as loud as the yelling was
I can never get enough of Clint’s rants. Epic words of wisdom from a living legend. If more people thought like Clint, the world would be a better place.
One of my favorite training videos is Clint smith talking about malfunctions (salt and pepper) outstanding video for anyone to watch. No tactical bullshit and no fancy shit, straight forward cleaning malfunctions.
One time at the indoor range I go to, the two bays adjacent to me were both rocking muzzle brakes while I was shooting my pistol, at some point I just put my pistol down and stepped back and let them finish so I can preserve my hearing.
So happy y’all are bring more Clint Smith! This channel introduced me to him, and I’ve been scrounging as much of his content as I can. Even bought his book.
Phillibago Adventures Yes sir. It’s called “Urban Rifle”. It’s more or less the a textbook you reference in your range bag. He doesn’t go off in humorous ways like he does here, but he does have a few side bars here and there. It’s a really good book.
Whoever the 136 thumbs down’s are, deserve Everything Miserable Coming Your Way! Clint is Awesome! Trained with him 3 times so far and can’t wait to do it again!
The fun thing about the M1 Garand was GI's would keep empty clips and slam them.on the ground to make the enemy hear the 'ping' so they would end up getting ambushed thinking the rifle was out of ammo
wealth of knowledge + great sense of humor + potty mouth = the best "talking guns" video ever. I could watch this guy for days. Thanks for bringing it to us.
I can see carrying a PCC if you're in a situation where you're restricted to having the same ammo for your handgun as your rifle, either because of weight requirements (9mm weighs about half what 308 does) or already have pistol ammo on hand and can't (or won't) buy rifle ammo. If neither of those apply, just carry a rifle.
It depends on what you mean by PCC. Are we talking about an actual 16+ inch barrel rifle that fires pistol rounds? Or a PDW platform like an AR pistol or CZ scorpion? If it's an actual rifle, get a rifle caliber. If it's an "SBR" type gun, they do have their place. For example a pistol caliber will be much easier to suppress than a rifle caliber. Carrying it for magazine and ammo comparability is moot if you ask me. Your sidearm is just that... A sidearm. Your long gun should be your primary weapon. You have a 9mm AR pistol that takes glock mags. Great, so what? Unless your AR has some sort of mechanical failure, it's unlikely you'll need the advantage of interchangable mags. This is all implying that you would be in a situation where it would matter in the slightest.
See more stupid exagerated shiit. "I have 12k rounds thru my glock, why, I shoot it a lot, here's a thought, why don't you shot good?" Really??? That's how you shot better, by training and shooting a lot. Everytime you train there's about 600 rounds and then with practicing there's more, that adds up to thousands of rounds. Sometimes the crap he says is so exaggerated and everyone hangs on those words. Armor, so what's your point? Hope the guy shooting you is competent??? Don't wear it because they aren't competent??? ... more crap What's the point on revolvers? I have 6 different revolvers and they are for fun, not for carry, it has nothing to do with them being old, my 1911 is old but I carry it. You practice reloading more than them. So what, you can reload faster than they can keep shooting thier high round glocks??? More exaggerated comments. I load 10 mags with two rounds each, every 2 rnds I reload another mag. I practice this because I choose to carry 7 rnds in my SW Pro Series 3" 1911. I choose a low round mag because I shoot a 1911 well and I'm a bit old school but that doesnt mean I can reload faster than the next guy can continue to shoot. My point, take what he has to offer, much of it is commonsense with some extra insight but use your own common sense to realize went he is exaggerating. The problem is many young and or new guys won't know an exaggeration from reality and will run on what he says. Now get ready for those blind followers (punch drinkers) to step in and say Clint is God, you don't k own what you are talking about

@@eliasgordon4321 Yea, but something is better than nothing I think.

Lmfao this is great.
It quells the stunning recoil if the 223 round
Essentially the same thing we got from John Brown of 3 Rivers Tactical 3 or 4 years ago.
Clint didn't mention the flash you get shooting at night.
Right after shootin it all you'll hear is
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
and you'll hear him for about 2 weeks
According to that soy boy libtard “journalist” who got “temporary ptsd” from shooting an AR. Maybe he needs one?

Clint’s “rants” needs to end with an “Amen.” He is a national treasure and prophet of all-things gun.
6:06, I felt this in my soul. It's why I have only 40% hearing in my right ear.
Rip. And now my hearing went from 100 to 80 % because of his yelling.
And the thing people don’t realize is, that yelling only turns into a quiet ringing that occasionally flares up and gets almost as loud as the yelling was
Lol same.
Clint is a national treasure
I could binge watch him for a month straight.
The man is the living example of "Wrongthink"... Which makes what he says absolutely priceless and correct.
The ping being a problem? "You just fired eight rounds of .308, everyone around you is DEAF"
Yep can confirm no ear pro, no wonder my wife thinks I'm deaf

Maybe you "came" for that, too...
I love the random ridiculous blunt statement then snap cut to classical music. So beautiful
That was fantastic. I want more
Funny, she told me the same thing.
Watch Smith Pirate Ship 🏴☠️ video ...
Clint is proof of with age comes wisdom! When he stops ranting i demand more ranting!!!!
I'm fairly certain I saw these segments on Clint's channel, but they lacked the trademarked TFB ass-cam intro.
The circle is now complete.
just glad they included the ass of a woman, too. for the rest of us.
We need 3 hours or 58 hours worth of material from this God like man
I could never get enough of Clint, give me more Clint! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hahaha, how can one not love Clint?
That man is a treasure.
When they're running up the hill throwing hand grenades you won't hear "the ping!"
True words.
Yeah and people seem to forget that more than one soldier was shooting on each side. "Hey, one of those 50 guys is out of ammo! Let's charge them!"
How am I just now seeing these.
This is perhaps the best way to celebrate Father's Day.

A revolver's fine until you're facing an insane mob that wants to turn you into a South African farmer documentary scene.
Blessing. A true blessing
He is the one BOOMER that actually knows his shit. The part about PCCs made me sad. Cause he is right. But a love them so much. This man is my hero.
I can see carrying a PCC if you're in a situation where you're restricted to having the same ammo for your handgun as your rifle, either because of weight requirements (9mm weighs about half what 308 does) or already have pistol ammo on hand and can't (or won't) buy rifle ammo. If neither of those apply, just carry a rifle.
I agree. My first thought was the mp5.
I disagree on the pcc thing. Get a Glock on your hip and a Glock fed PCC and all your ammo is the same form factor. It's also lighter
It depends on what you mean by PCC. Are we talking about an actual 16+ inch barrel rifle that fires pistol rounds? Or a PDW platform like an AR pistol or CZ scorpion? If it's an actual rifle, get a rifle caliber. If it's an "SBR" type gun, they do have their place. For example a pistol caliber will be much easier to suppress than a rifle caliber. Carrying it for magazine and ammo comparability is moot if you ask me. Your sidearm is just that... A sidearm. Your long gun should be your primary weapon.
