Description:
Rifle malfunctions explained — in plain terms. In this video my brother Tyler (82nd Airborne + Special Operations experience) joins me to break down real-world stoppages, critique a popular trainer’s approach, and show why observing first can save time and avoid making a malfunction worse. We compare the basic “TAP-RACK-SHOOT / SPORTS” approach taught to novices vs. what experienced operators actually do when things go wrong (empty mags, double feeds, bad magazines, and more).
What you’ll learn in this video:
• Why reflexively going into a canned procedure can sometimes make a stoppage worse
• How to tell the difference between an empty magazine and a real malfunction (what to look for)
• Real demo of a double-feed clearance and why tools like a bad-lever/magwell can help during training
• When SPORTS-style drills are helpful — and when you should rely on observation and threat assessment
• Practical tips for improving your malfunction drills without guessing
Tyler’s creds: 5.5 years in the military — 82nd Airborne combat tour, Special Operations training and deployment. Real experience, no fluff.

The dude in the video, that you’re talking about, is former Ranger Nicholas Irvin. Or has he refers to his self, “The Reaper.”
Immediate vs remedial action. The guy in the video did everything right.
LOLOLOLOL @ an infantry dude who drops the SF name when he was support.
This is why the internet hates you.
