  • How to Shoot an AR-15 / M4 Carbine with tactics and firearms instructor John Lovell. In this video, I give some simple tips for beginners to properly mount an AR-15, or M4 carbine. This platform is good for other types of rifles like AK47s, or for shotguns as well. I begin with the rifle platform starting at the feet and working the way to the hips and shoulders before extending out into how we establish a proper grip and grip pressures. Understand that my context is gunfighting and not hunting or competitive shooting, so if I am not in perfect harmony with other instruction you adhere to, understand that in different contexts there is room for differences. Other topics in this video include: how a consistent shooting platform allows you to shoot quickly and accurately, problems with competing methods, and how our shooting platform works in harmony with natural movement.

If by patriot you mean sits on computer saying “ from my cold dead hands “ yet his hands will be nice and toasty and despite all of the wrongs he just keeps going on to get along then yep today’s patriots ! But if your talking about the patriots who fought and died for freedom todays patriots have let slip away then no deff not those patriots

      @rougecards 7 років тому +28

      Military here. We run a 2 point sling 90% of the time because it's way easier to sling the rifle behind the back or keep it tight to the chest when doing pretty much anything (lifting, prepping defensive positions, detaining individuals, etc...). We're usually not engaged at distances so close we have split seconds to shoulder our rifle, unless you're spec ops or something, so it's not usually an issue having to clear the sling first before returning fire.

      Only time i ever used a two point sling was with the m249. For the m4 i modified my three pointer to hold the rifle tight to my chest, and when unclipped it was attached by a single strap from the stock to my firing shoulder with the sling forming a loop around my chest under my support arm, letting the rifle hang straight down at my side. Clipped was for on the fob and unclipped was for out in sector. Your sling and how you use it was one of the few things each individual had free reign to do what worked best for them.

    Not to mention, that over the top thumb can interfere with using iron sights on a lot of rifles.
    Learn to do it the right way, and keep that thumb on the SIDE of the handguard.

    Sir, a question. in 2011 I was involved in an accident that damaged my L5 and L6 thoracic vertebrae resulting surgery. the legacy I'm left with is holding both arms out in front of me causes pain which can be overcome but also numbness and loses of muscle control in my hands and forearms. I have modified my stance to exactly the wrong way of doing it, left foot forward, support hand pulled back under the hand guard grasping the mag well, etc. This is the primary reason I haven't gotten more serious about a rifle training course. it would be unfair for me to expect an instructor to spend time with me trying to work around my issues while the rest of the class is getting it done. The question, are you aware of training or instructors that work with these kind of issues. I don't think of myself as "disabled" as there are people with bigger challenges than holding a rifle. I go to work every day as a heavy truck mechanic I just do things differently. any input you might have would be appreciated. I have no illusions that I'll ever be a professional door kicker, I don't even consider myself a tactical guy I would just like to become better at moving with a rifle and shooting accurately at "speed"

      Bryan Saunders tbh I almost guarentee like 99% of the well respected courses would work with you in a class. You'll be training in unconventional ways in tactical courses anyway so you may even have a leg up on other guys who are 100% able bodied but have only ever shot with their primary hand in a conventional "gun range" ways. Give some of the places you're interested in a call. I bet they'll have no problem accommodating your needs and getting you speedy in no time!!!

      If holding a handgun or rifle becomes painful in a way that leave you feeling unsafe to defend yours and yourself with a firearm then I highly recommend you acquire an M67 frag grenade and a can of bear mace. If a home invader or attacker makes themselves known, simply produce the frag grenade in your off hand and hit the bad guy with a loud "Allahu Akbar". This will stun the bad guy for at least 3 seconds, as his synapses will short circuit from the shock of such a sight and he must quickly reboot to process what is going on. In this time frame, produce the bear mace in your strong hand and light the bad guy's face up with the unholy hellfire of spicy whipped cream from the bear mace canister. This will incapacitate the bad guy immediately. The evil substance in the bear mace canisters makes Kodiak bears shit themselves just from thinking about it. Now he is at your mercy. If you want to be merciful, replace the bear mace canister with a sidearm of your choice and send him off to the next world. If you want to make an example of him, replace the canister with a taser and let the bad guy ride the lightning. The police will haul him off for many years of being Big Cock Joe's bottom bitch in Cell Block D and you'll have a clean conscience. I suggest an authentic M67 frag grenade because I don't know where you live. If you leave in a shithole like Detroit, then you'll be faced with multiple armed attackers and it's best to take them all out with you. The old standing remains, better to have and not need than to need and not have.

    You're smarter than I thought when I saw the thumbnail of this video . I suppose I have a prejudice against the thumb over bore ( TOB ) foregrip style . None of the best shooters I know or know of use this style . Whenever I see this my first thought is "somebody's trying to be all tacticool" . The straight arm and thumb over bore grip doesn't transition from upright to prone firing positions well ( quickly ) and also presents problems for me in CQB or working in teams (flagging team members) . To me this seems to be more gaming than practical . But I never knock other people for doing what works best for them and you definitely have you fundamentals mastered .

This is the very melding of person and took you need to work towards, if the weapon and you aren't a good match investigate what's off try new things till you feel like part of your rifle amd not just someone with the rifle.

      @FanaticDrummer 4 роки тому

      Its terrible for CQB. Its a trend now, but its terrible for indoors 100%. One grab at the barrel or arm and your entire balance is gone. Unless the target is 25 yards out and moving, you really dont need a rigid platform like that to put down rounds on the threat and hit. Unless you are directly engaging a threat the elbow locked grip is pretty impractical for almost any other situation like he said. You have about a good 30 seconds of use before your arm starts to fatigue. Even the biggest dudes cant maintain that for scanning down range. Its definitely a tactical trend in style and always personal preference. Most instances overseas you’d never have a chance to use this stance. Its really aimed for security details or law enforcement staring down someone. Over seas everything is too fast paced for you to go into a stance that isnt sprint or building hopping friendly. We had a couple rangers who never shot like this.

    In regard to grip fatigue, that's why you should use a full vertical foregrip a little bit back on your rail. Full vertical foregrips allow you to aim your rifle while relaxing your wrist, and it gives you great recoil control. I know the military uses them all the time but for some reason they are really unpopular in the civilian market. Also it looks like you may be able to extend your buttstock a notch or two.
