CQB Drills - Alpha Beta Soup

Running a demo of one of my favorite CQB drills, which molds many segments of performance which we see with great consistency in FOF - into one drill that enables many reps. In addition, this drill is still primarily driven by the need to identify (contextually), rather than just blaze when the person sees the paper (non-contexualy).
In the recent years,I have also concluded that slice-based entries if taught wrong and conditioned wrong might push individuals into preventable, premature engagements without proper identification in situations of high intensity, as the segmented consumption of the angles results in the individual's anticipation builds up in conjunction to how he will visually see a person figure in close quarters due to geometry (commonly hands/limb extremities first) alongside to how the angles may provide pre-fight indicators.
long story short - Shooting fast in CQB anyone can do. Working Identification and all that relates to it whether before or after, is another story.

Really a great drill - makes your brain ready and trained, not only body and muscle memory.

Good idea for a drill. I want to be a firearms instructor some day, so I'll remember it

Have you guys ever used Airsoft guns for 'live fire' training against other humans? The gas operated guns (gas blow-back, or GBB) are very realistic in operation and handling to their real world gun counterparts, and the accuracy and speed of the round is good enough for CQB training with live opponents. For a more dynamic training environment, the 'actors' can be provided varying behaviours. If the trainees become under fire, it might add to the stress in the training scenario...

maybe if you looked on the rest of our channel, you would have know. :)

@@ProjectGecko haha well, I have seen very many of your videos, and the UF Pro ones, maybe I missed it :O . I saw a clip which looked like it could have been something like airsoft, maybe "simunition" which is sometimes used for training like this. Anyway, cool stuff keep up the good work and great videos.

@@ProjectGecko I see on your website this article: www.projectgecko.info/reviews/2017/3/14/why-airsoft-guns-are-probably-the-ultimate-training-tools Seems like you guys share the same opinion as me!

Live fire (pretty sure its marking bullets AKA Simunition) is a big part of UFO Pro and what ever actual physical training offered by the guys.

Cool but it would be much better to have your gun up. There’s no point in dropping your weapon while slicing the pie…maybe it’s advantage is during hostage rescue situations or you don’t want to accidentally shoot a friendly, but the chances of seeing a friendly are too low to incorporate your ‘making the gun useless technique’…It’s probably something taught to israeli special forces but in the US you should have your gun up, ready to f*ck up the threat. Milliseconds are crucial and having your gun ready is more important than having your gun low.

[@alvarasslivinskas5246]

The main essence of keeping your gun lower is to identify whether it is threat or not. However, every scenario depends on various circumstances for example if you already expecting threat to be in position then slicing can be done by down sighting. Also it is only a drill so it includes lowering your weapon as well which is part of this training.

[@carlwagner4565]

@@alvarasslivinskas5246 you can have your gun up and still identify the threat when doing cqc you don't even use sights you are looking over the sights identifying threats and assessing your surroundings you must keep the muzzle chest high even if you chicken wing that shit under or above the shoulder

[@mike8386]

If you slice the pie sighted youre NOT gonna be able to identify anything, holding your gun chest height as you say and just slightly looking above sights would give you the same FOV as if you were sighted...if you ADS while slicing someone can litteraly take a knee infront of you and you wont see...happened to me when i was training some basic cqb...

@@mike8386 “If you slice the pie sighted you won’t identify anything”? If you have a good Eotech sight or if you slice correctly than maybe that could fix things up. Also, slicing with the gun in more of a “not” ready position like this is bad, muzzle is pointed at the floor and takes to much time to realign from floor to target..
