Spent three weeks during field exercise doing IAD, or immediate action drills with pistol and rifle while under fire and with vehicles. Due to the weapons being poorly maintained, they kept jamming. Nerve racking yes, but I spend weekends running drills at the range for this reason. Tap, rack, bang. Recycle the weapon. Remember, switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading or clearing a jam.😅
If he was standing or on one knee he would have been faster….I believe the issue was he couldn't not see down the chamber also wasn't able to lift head above red cover.
New bee's….all kitted out, tattoos, plate carrier, nice to see shooter's dicking around as if they never pulled a trigger. That's why they call them schools
Detach mag, flip rifle for ejection port in downward position, double cycle making sure you see brass fall out, lock and flip back, check chamber, re-insert mag, and cycle new round. His only mistake was not flipping the ejection port down, forcing him to expose his elbow trying to snatch hot brass out of the chamber. Plus it makes it significantly easier to lock bolt open in an awkward position when you do so 🤙🤙
Good training, looks fun. Wish I wasn't such a poor, gotta do what I can at home with what I have lol 😊
Gotta think through the problem. That’s the point of this drill. Repetition of the drill makes thinking easier. Lock bolt back, turn rifle slightly to inspect chamber, if ejected round is stuck use side of hand to chop it out. If the jam is occurring inside of the action, rip mag out, cycle action 3 times same as you would a handgun malfunction. This will clear most all malfunctions. If it does not, you’ve got a significant problem, transition to handgun, call mother, tell her you love her, apply TQ, light cigarette as you travel toward the light.
Kudos to the gentleman for getting into training. He is there to learn. Instructors need to be diligent about making sure he is doing all the work with his support hand. The hand switching back and forth is not good. Primary hand controls the rifle as it always does. Support hand clears the malfunction.
He just ran into trouble because he hadnt locked the bolt to the rear completely before removing the mag. It slammed back home, stripping another round off the mag when he removed the mag.
This made the malfunction more complicated than it was meant to be. Other than not locking it all the way to the rear at first, he did fine. He's there to have these problems and learn from them.
Pretty sure I was more competent than this dude with an AR by the time I finished the opening level of the original Call of Duty, and it didn’t even have an AR. Listen to the instructor. Look at the scenario. And thaaaats where this dudes stress level is at? Homeboi needs to spend 3-4 years working in a kitchen to get his nerves right. Embarrassing. And… No urgency. When it actually happens, you’re seeing it right here, this is what this man is going to have to offer you.

Memories
“faster……Faster?……FASTER!!…………train these men, properly Maj. S Stickerton….”
When working with weapons, try to remember: gravity rules supreme.
Always Face the magwell down when clearing malfunctions.
Holy crap, that's a tough exercise. I guess I'll be that weird guy who's going this practice dry, and his wife walks in the door.
Ah gravity
Nice now in a fire fight I gotta watch out for the blind people and there sticks
You're dead.
Respect to you for being out in the field putting in that work
I need to find a group of people that train ❤
You’re dead boy!!
You fix it. You fucking did it.

Making a problem that didn't exist
Pretty dumb to keep the gun where it is while trying to fix the malfunction.
Took too long and sorry to say it but you are dead!
Dumb
If you want to practice this, put empty brass in your mag, it will 💯 fail to feed. For extra giggles, have your buddy prep your mag and rifle for you.
The Radian ADAC was built for this sepcific malfunction
Thats the problem with anything like the ar15. It jams at the worst times.
There are actuons out there that can run without having to break down and clean other than cleaning the bore and chamber.
If he was standing or on one knee he would have been faster….I believe the issue was he couldn't not see down the chamber also wasn't able to lift head above red cover.
Do ak's jam like this m16 ?😅
I was always taught to remove mag first, cycle & clear jam, then reinsert. Always remove mag first
Awful.
Tap rack bang
I don't see a single comment about this guy being slow. Even though everyone is saying there's a bunch of comments about it.
Damn Philip J. Fry became a shootimg instructor. " Fix it fix it fix it
look at you stuffed animals shooting at fictional enemies. So adorable.

Dude is cooked…lol
People who goes to these type of competition what he just did is dangerous we need a smart person. Don’t do that.
Damn NPC's….
Everybody a critic 😂
Mans just tryna better himself and the internet quick to tear him down cuz they insecure and trolling
Ravenous hyenas you mfs 😂😂

What's best way to proceed after that jam.
I’m all for malfunction drills but train how you shoot. If you are in this shooting position you have bigger fuckin problems
The stoppage stick will get you every time.
Tap rack bang
Your mind wants you to do everything perfectly, but the world says otherwise

STANDBY
Always drop mag cycle change mag rack. Muscle memory from there. This is a hella awkward position to be working in.
He just ran into trouble because he hadnt locked the bolt to the rear completely before removing the mag. It slammed back home, stripping another round off the mag when he removed the mag.

Great practice, also great example why this is a dog shit shooting position
