It always impresses me how humble & open minded you are about tactics & stuff. Not being condescending to us civilians who don’t have the training you do. While also being open to new ideas, & evolution. Many ways to skin a cat.. You aren’t like “I’m from delta, this is the best & only way, otherwise you will die” on everything. Nope. Then again, to make it to the level you did, you have to be humble & willing to learn & evolve. That’s how the tip of the spear stays so sharp, constantly innovating & changing.
people will judge and bullshit but in the end you have to think that you are only improving yourself and those who are looking weird or talking shit are doing nothing. Happens to me wearing a plate carrier and its hilarious when i watch them all shoot and fail miserably on everything they do from accuracy to gun grips and reloads not to mention their fitness and stances. Unbelievable. If you dont train with your gear then how do you know it works? And how do you make it more efficient?
John Lovell actually has a really good video on shooting over cover. Rotating the rifle 90 degrees eliminates height over bore issues and lets you keep your head lower where it's not as obvious a target. Having tried it, with just a tiny bit of practice, it's not hard at all to make accurate shots that way.
Try not to lay on the fender and over the hood. Bullets hitting the fender or hood will either ricochet or frag and split your melon. Stand off two to three feet.
@@themackguyverchannel7713 I agree. There’s videos from the 1970s showing LAPD officers skipping buckshot off the pavement and hood of cars to hit bad guys. Pat Mac argued this on insta a couple of years ago when teaching his wife to shoot a rifle. What was interesting is someone pointed out Max was trained by the same School House as Kyle Lamb who has a video talking about skipping rounds off hoods. I love Pat but I strongly disagree with him on this. Cars are bullet magnets. If you have multiple people shooting at you it’s hard to suppress all that like he talks about when your outnumbered.
@@jeremyshackleford3058 Multiple shooting and you're driving - keep driving! Get to a better position before exiting your vehicle and then putting down accurate fire from a stable position (as he demonstrated). Infantry 101: reaction to a near ambush - fast, violent, aggressive action. It's not find cover and prevent bullet ricochet. It's like a knife fight in that you just have to assume you're going to get fucked up in the process. ATTACK! Seek better cover! ATTACK! Repeat.
@@ZildjianMan30 ok I agree with driving out of the kill area and off the x. That’s not the scenario he gave. He talked about taking cover and establishing superior firepower over multiple threats.
Really appreciate the comment about focusing on sending your rounds effectively as opposed to concern of incoming. Also, it’s a great point about flat range and it’s limitations/tunnel vision. So many pearls in 7 minutes
You are a man’s man, Pat Mac. I appreciate you, Sir. Old 80’s Navy Parachute Rigger here. I really appreciate your instruction, attitude and experience.
Thank you for the thoughtful content. You make a great point about the need to rehearse the various firing positions. Without rehearsing them, the shooter never learns to support their firing arm with their bent leg. Additionally, the emphasis you place on the agency that the enemy has - they will do things to produce a particular effect - like forcing the good guy away from their cover. You are a blessing to many. Thanks again
If I discover I’ve been “flanked on” while I’m in the “prone broke-back position”, should I rollover on my back with my feet together, hands by my side, and declare I have a headache & I’m not in the mood? Asking for a friend. (Excellent knowledge transfer. Thank you PatMac!)
Great refresher along with some innovative tips. One observation - while granted that most of the newer cars on the road don’t seem to have a lot of heavy duty metal that might stop incoming rounds, electric cars have even less and maybe a lot more plastics and composite. Plus, there’s no engine/transaxle anywhere in the configuration that would be relatively impenetrable. Electrics have the battery packs usually in the floor pan area, and should still have forged metal components around each wheel, plus maybe an electric motor on each corner.
Needed this video a few days ago. Training deploying my rifle from my truck. Send the last round in my string through my hood. Thankfully hit nothing but the hood but the wife is still not pleased with me. Height over bore is real kids.
This is the guy who requests a seat in the rear of the restaurant, back to the wall, to keep an eye on everyone because he wants everyone to know he’s ‘tactical’
Thanks much for this stuff man. I think one of the best parts of being a United States citizen is not only do we own military grade weapons and gear, we also have you guys from the best military units in the world who are willing to teach us the all this stuff to make us more effective all around.
@@soldieroftoughlove7635 That is correct, it its an idealogical warfare. Dont let it happen or else you will end up like AUstralia Canada NZ and UK, where its rampayant Gov Tyranny
@@johnsmith-ok3de It's government subversion,our government and media institutions are subverted. Do you really think we wanted transvestites in government? Lol
"broke back mountain"🤣🤣 the only part I think my wife heard. She was like," let me see what he's talking about". That's downward dog according to her😂 some yoga move. Had her show me..... Break time!
I like the ending portion. Most people aren’t considering the fact that if it’s a gunfight.. they’re going to want to close on you and maneuver on you. Mobility equals survivability is a solid statement. Wish I had this training in the military.
Pillars will stop a pistol round. Safariland did a workshop at my LE academy with a vehicle and shot over 20 rounds point blank .45 at the a pillar and it didn’t go through.
Awesome dude. “Broke back Mountain” classic. I’d like to see you do an illustration with family members in the car. I have 4 kids and do drills at home with them. I would like to implement some drills with the vehicle as well. Your tactics are spot on and would like to see you run through that scenario. Thanks brother.
ammo is expensive so paintball made for some fun use of cover, small teams, and movement. the ones who held static cover consistently got flanked & caught paint in the ribs, shoulders & neck.
