I like the TA30c, however in high stress situations I tend to press to hard on the tailcap button which unintentionally activates strobe mode. I would prefer a stiffer button like the button on the Fenix PD36 TAC. Also the LED failed after little use, but Nextorch replaced the light immediately.
Straight and to the point, and within the bounds of what is necessary. I will watch all of these reviews going forward, and might even pick one of these lights up.
Thank you Eli for this fantastic video. I carry am old TA30 for five years now, my rubber endcap also came off, i wrote to Nextorch and they send me a new complete endcap. Amazing Support. Thank you for putting your thoughts and your Knowledge on video please keep it up!! Best regards Daniel from Germany
Cool light. Eli, what are some lessons learned from your deployment in regards to WML use that is different from what is commonly taught or even from what you teach?
Wasting time with the robotic movement, stop forcing unnecessary and unnatural movements like this. Just move while making all of your weapon checks, Multitask.
@@ProjectGecko if your moving to break contact then weapon on safe and move, while you are moving you can check the rifle status and if need be fix it. The key part of this is moving, there is a reason you are breaking contact or you would be assaulting. You also need to communicate, letting your teammates know what you are doing and sometimes talking it through help make it happen. Also setting up static ranges with no cover to move to isn’t ideal, nobody is fighting on flat ranges unless it’s the desert. Move to cover for obvious reasons.
@@VictoryOrValhalla14you see it from a tactical training perspective. this was merely a technical environment . in a closed environment in front of paper targets...it still does not answers my first question... the reason I would AF prior to every movement is due to the idea I exchange one cover with another. i wanna know what and where before I commit to a bound. i still fail to see how, what you describe a decision making, checking a gun status, is seeing as a robotic movement.
@@ProjectGecko Train like you fight, fight like you train. What decisions are you making? You’re breaking contact? a basic battle drill and the reason it’s a basic battle drill is to take the decisions out of it. Checking the status of your rifle doesn’t make sense, your objective is to break contact and you should be doing it as fast and orderly as possible. Check your rifle while bounding, correct any issues while moving or better yet behind cover. When you tell your team your moving you need to move, so they can up the rate of fire for suppression so there is less chance you are hit while you are defenseless. The same reason once your set behind cover you ramp up your rates of fire. Leave the range theatrics to the ex operators milking people for money.
Just to let everyone know these losers go on other channels to cry like babies about how the channel users don’t give credit to every single person who made any term used in the video. I don’t see them giving credit to the people who created these specific firearms, or even the vest, what about the headgear? i would ask if you see my point but clearly you do. videos would be infinitely longer if you had to credit every person who made every and any term/word/phrase you use in your video and especially with short form content it’s not possible. and even if it was, who cares. absolutely not a single person watching the video is going to care or notice if you credit someone for making a word/term or if you don’t credit them. it makes absolutely no difference. Not to mention the terms/words you’re begging someone to give credit for were made using words/terms that were created by other people, so should we credit them? should we credit the person who created the letters used to make those words in the first place? in fact, i would argue you would lose a lot of potential views if 90% of the video was just “crediting” people who no one knows and no one cares about. what a joke, no wonder your channel is so small you drive away anyone who might be interested with your negative personality and social commentary.
I think good shield work might be better with a two person team. One working the shield the other from behind working the room. What are your thoughts on this?
Shields, particularly those smaller, offensive shields are extremely under utilized. They have their drawbacks, but damn it's hard to beat the extra protection.
@@ProjectGecko Yes. Although I have not had the opportunity to try one of those Knight shields, which i definitely want to get my hands on. And you are right, some are certainly larger than others. I guess it would depend on what one defines as an offensive vs defensive shield.
@@ProjectGecko Mostly different police shields, some windowed some not and varying brands. I would really like to try one of those KS forearm shields. I find those very interesting.
I can’t agree with this enough. The shields we have in the U.S. police circle always seem to be absolutely MASSIVE and extremely heavy.To the point I’d rather not use them at all. I can tell the KS shield is probably an improvement.
Probably a showcase that they start implementing Drones even into their livefire training (which is pretty far ahead at least in Europe, where gun laws are trainings options are very restricted)
Was very difficult to capture its use cinematic wise, and we hope to improve it in the future. In terms of tactics, the drone will catch attention and mask the operator movement, if possible, get wider picture, and with the thermal will help me to communicate to him where they are etc. in SUT context its awesome.
Absolutely crazy to me how shit that was sci-fi like drones a few years ago is a norm now It may not be sophisticated "living" or self autonomous drone swarms and more like a fucked up Co-op playthrough but Jesus fucking hell that's wild to me
Get the Aimpoint 3XMag. Stick with same manufacturer for both as everybody seems to have their own heights for their sights and optics. Same goes when you're using some aftermarket mount for your CompM4s; get the same branded mount and everything for maximum compatibility. As for tapes on your weapon, I don't recommend it at all as the adhesive from the tape will melt due to the heat of your barrel and cause it to have very nasty sticky residue. In the video, looks like Eli has (correct me if I'm wrong) medical gauze as a wrap on his handguard. I suggest the same. Get some cloth wrap for the front end to mitigate the heat from the barrel or for aesthetics as long as it doesn't impede on your manipulation of your weapon system.
@@MidwestDefender I have the geissele mount for my Aimpoint. I don't want a Aimpoint magnifier cuz it's nasty expensive.. isn't there another possibility? On top of that I want a good eye relief and maybe a X5 magnification.
Used a 3x Monstrum budget magnifier and 3x micro Sig magnifier. Eye relief on micro magnifiers suck. Had an easier time shooting with regular size magnifiers. But the Sig Juliet 3x is so nice on my Unity FTC Omni lol
Hey man, respect the guy. Eli is a great guy and a great instructor. So is Garand Thumb, they are both very respectable people who shed blood sweat and tears for the work they do.
