    My father CSM Raymond D Burbank, was among the first Green Berets, joining in 1962.He served with the 10th, 7th, 5th, and 3rd Special Forces.He is buried at Ft Campbell Ky, 101st Airborne. He is my hero, and I miss him everyday .

    Manipulating the environment to increase contact points is an amazing technique! This is the stuff I come to the channel for. This is the stuff you guys put out which separates you from the rest- a complete approach to gun fighting and self defense. Great video, as always. Thank you Mattx2, Mr. Glover and Mr. Owens.

    I just subscribed.

Mentally I think I had what it take's to be a Green Beret, even my doctor's can't believe that I can push myself to keep walking without a walker or cane's.God Bless you guy's for your service and what you continue to do .Thank You

    As an instructor, it's always a privilege to have the opportunity to train and instruct switched on professionals who want to be there and are willing to soak up excellent subject matter knowledge from their instructors.
    I had the opportunity to train a certain middle eastern ally's SOF. Let me tell you, it was the polar opposite of this. It was like trying to herd cats. It made the job very frustrating and not enjoyable, unlike what this range day looked like. Great video.

    Things must have changed a bit. Decades ago in my Infantry days the technique was to hold the top of the butt stock in your right, or dominant, hand to use the rifle as a way to "break" your fall as you settle into the prone position. Now many people hold the pistol grip with dominant hand and use the non dominant hand to brace yourself as you land in the prone.

    Kevin's comment about the 20 round magazine is spot-on. The 20's shorter profile allows the rifle more flexibility in finding that stable position from an awkward shooting location. Even the 10 round mag has a place especially for a swat member whose round count in an engagement is typically low, in the single digits even.

      Its clear he hasn't used it at night because no way in hell could he not block the IR laser with that pad on top, And this guy is SWAT, pretty sad his team hasn't said anything to him.
