[@firstconsul7286]

@El Cactuar You're quite desperate for internet attention, huh?

[@williamlloyd3769]

Setting up the course, running the event and then breaking down everything afterwards must of been hell on the crew. Hats off to all the support team.

[@Phantom_Vader]

Laughed my ass off at Combat Medic Ian breaking both the guy's femurs to get him in the truck faster, and imaging him arriving at the hospital folded in half (much to the confusion of doctors and nurses)

[@Yupppi]

Your Kasarda is something to see. LONG throws, quick sprints, good shots. It was good to see how the stages went in good and bad, gave a good idea of what a shooter might have to go through. It's not all just shooting in the stages (not including the fact that it's brutality match where you are already physically and skill challenged). These stages looked fun (not fun)! The bonuses seemed well thought out. Very excited to see what you have in your pockets for desert brutality stages. At this rate you will soon talk finnish as your second natural language with your pronunciation just getting more accurate every video.

[@Sirkkeli]

I don't know if anyone cares or if it's been said before, but Sisu is a manufacturer of many things considering Finnish defence forces, and the names of the vehicles are mostly abbreviations from their nicknames. For example, Nasu (the tracked vehicle here) is an abbreviation of NAuhaSIsu (nauha translates to 'tape' or 'band'), referring to the tracks. Other examples are Pasi or PAnssariSIsu (armored APC still in use), Rasi or RAskasSIsu (Heavy 6x6 truck), Masi ot MAastoSIsu (lighter 4x4 truck with good offroad capability), and so on.

[@MKnife]

Uudenmaan Prikaatin Kuljetuskomppanian mies III-87 arvostaa yhteenvetoasi! Kaikkia mainitsemiasi tuli ajettua, paitsi Nasuja, koska niitä meillä ei prikaatissa ollut. Kotimaan tuotannon lisäksi tuli kärsittyä itänaapurin laitteita; Zil, Uaz, Gaz ja mitä niitä olikaan, ergonomian ihmeitä. Unohtamatta länsinaapurin automaattivaihteisia Husse -moottoripyöriä. Alikessuna pääsin vieläpä paimentamaan traktorijoukkueen Valmet-kuljettajia joukkueenjohtajana, vaikka en kokelas ollutkaan. Hyviä aikoja, ja opinpahan ajelemaan huonossakin maastossa! Siitä on nykyäänkin hyötyä rappioituvassa tieverkossamme :). (Sorry for my finnish outburst of nostalgia related to numerous Sisu-vehicles, most of which I did drive offroad during my military service back in the 1980's.)

[@iLLeag7e]

It's always a blast to watch these brutality matches Ian. Good stuff!

[@pystykorva7114]

Wounded guy in a battle: Medic! Ian runs up... Wounded: Never mind!

Shout out for the one who finished 109th and doing the hard work of propping everyone else up!

[@michaelfodor6280]

Putting yourself on the start line of a Brutality match is worthy of respect.

[@HereticalKitsune]

The tracked vehicle is one of my favorites. The Bundeswehr has a variant of it, the Hägglund Bv206 while the British Army has the Warthog with similar design, just a bit bigger, I think.

[@18robsmith]

UK uses both the BV206 (as used in Finland) and the larger BVS10. Both are equally as "hilarious" on the road and great fun off road (in snow or mud).

[@HereticalKitsune]

@@18robsmith Sadly I have only seen them in my service time, never was in them. I just love the shape and off road ability. Can't imagine the BV206 to be very comfortable to drive, the cockpit looks very small, even more so with full combat gear. Still, I love it.

[@VosperCDN]

We have them in the Canadian Forces also. For all the time I was in, never got to ride in one ... # sadface

[@Ezbee2041]

Loved the Hägglund back in my basic training. It´s like throwing a bunch of recruits in full gear into a dice-shaker and hand it to Michael J. Fox.

[@blegi1245]

That tracked vehicle is a Sisu NA-110. Not related to Bv206.

[@VeraTR909]

I like this voice-over style match footage.

[@dcspooky6903]

truly a privilege to watch you an your colleagues go through the match. Thank you all for posting our performances during the the brutality match. Very inspiring!!

[@davidgreen40]

The winter season match in Finland should be called Finnish Burr-ality. Good job as always Ian. BTW, it is clear the dummies survived ... ... though they were hypothermic from the Finnish "swimming pool." Some American dude with a Viking-esque ponytail was found kilt.

[@stevennewman4778]

Always reminds me of Mortal Combat Finish Him! Brutality

[@taenaran]

I really enjoyed the voice over while watching the video. Knowing your thoughts gives insight into your experience and strategy.

[@Friedbrain11]

Practical matches are the best. They show you the weaknesses you need to work on and the weakness of your weps if they have any.

[@nauseaah]

I'm currently taking a break from playing Escape From Tarkov, and I was mildly bewildered seeing those words on a Forgotten Weapons vid. This is such an amazing and inspiring event, thank you so much for your commentary!

[@jonokiller]

same but hearing the name makes me want to boot it up again. The WWSD rifle is just a meta m4 :P

[@katarjin]

[@StrangerOman]

Really glad that the gang were able to make it together for an awesome match and make extensive coverage of it. :)

[@IanB9612]

I tripped out when I found out Ian was a lefty. As another southpawed, long haired Ian who's been a shooter and firearms enthusiast from a young age, Ian McCollum always makes me proud to be so

[@bigfreddie8109]

You did great Ian, can't wait for the desert..

[@bobhunt4402]

You can tell how fatigue influences one's thought process when Ian says a bolt locking open on an empty mag is an issue. I'm sure he was thinking "locks open on a loaded mag" but somewhere between thought and speech the message got garbled.

[@phatman808]

Hah I noticed that and thought I misheard him, but yup he was pretty fatigued.

[@Meitti]

Kinda expected there to be like an actual dude that you have to drag to a stretcher, then a 2nd dude helping you carry him to the back of the APC. 4 people per stretcher in total, one arm per handle if you have to run with the wounded guy. Thats the standard practice ordeal in the finnish military. And usually they make you run quite the distance with it, similar practice setup with carrying and running with AA gun in a box. Guaranteed heavy workout.

[@sebastiend.5335]

The truck will go to the 'Finnish' line. How funny indeed....

[@jameswhitaker1324]

Based on the legs folding backwards into the torso, I think the tourniquet might be a little too late.

[@thelastjohnwayne]

Finnish Brutality is Amazing. Quickly becoming the Gold Standard

[@Tocat-l4r]

That looks like so much fun! Getting to ride in that cool tracked vehicle, doing the rescue scenario. I'm a novice shooter I started 2 years ago and get out to the range a few times a month. Id really like to test myself with a course like that.

[@heinchneitschke2577]

Go for it. You never accomplish anything unless you try. Best of luck.

[@hacooray525]

good luck bro. may the bless of Great Gondola be with you

[@manopeace9175]

Everyone: Say the line Ian... Ian: sigh... Tarkov

[@anaphylastiks]

Also, can tell Ian is feeling how hard this is, and there are not multiple seasoned people shooting back at him. I think this helps viewers get a real proper idea of how difficult combat is (and was) in harsh confusing conditions.

[@duanequam7709]

Awesome thanks. You did well. Most of us watching would be pleased with being average at this.

[@Hipas_Account]

Such a great Cowinkidink, I get home from my 1st trip to the Varusteleka Shop, bought myself a Brown Pilot Cap, some Surplus Italian Sunglasses and some Fishcock, and then I get a nice surprise of getting to watch some Brutality matches.

[@Omnihil777]

01:58 Of course, the truck will go to the finnish line. What line should it go to else? It's a blast to see the WWSD rifle in action. The finnish brutality matches have to be one of if not the most creative shooting matches in the world. Really cool!

[@ruffleraveninc3602]

It's like a mix of PT and range day. Looks like a lot of fun, but real demanding physically.

[@volusian95]

[@destraw6221]

Well, better to have a wardrobe malfunction with the gloves than with the kilt.

[@mfree80286]

5:48 "Don't know why it's starting to do it now"... and then breathes fog. It's cold, tolerances are going to be screwy and something marginal can pop up when a given section of gun is cold and another begins to warm. Could be that the buffer tube is warming up but the buffer itself is still cold and is moving more freely.

[@jeromethiel4323]

The funny thing is the majority of actual soldiers would not do as well. They simply aren't trained like this, which i think is a mistake. They SHOULD be doing drills like this, because this more accurately simulates combat conditions. Qualifying at a range is much easier than running around in actual simulated combat conditions when winded. No enemy soldier is going to just stand there to be shot at. I also think that police officers should be required to train in these kind of drills. So that when they have to use their service weapon, they don't shoot ineffectively, and more importantly, don't shoot innocent bystanders.

[@Sangheilitat117]

What soldiers do you know that aren’t trained like this? When I was an 03 in the Marines we trained like this all the time, and a couple of my buddies who went 11B in the Army said they do the same stuff.

[@jeromethiel4323]

@@Sangheilitat117 Well, it was quite some time since I served, but when I was in it was all range time.

[@zimbu_]

Sounds really strange that you didn't do combat shooting drills in military service. Things like moving from cover to cover at 2:32 would be different and you'd often be doing drills in pairs or teams, but mostly it doesn't look that different from some of the exercises I did during my mandatory service in the Finnish armed forces.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

@@zimbu_ It is different for each and everyone. If I remember correct we went range 2 or 3 times before ATT. No shooting after that.

[@Salesman9001]

@@jeromethiel4323 Only times my unit went into range was to sight in the rifles or for marksman competitions, all other shooting was done somewhat like on desert/Finnish brutality matches. As Finnish army was suffering from severe shortage of wooden bullets at the time (I shot 10 wood bullets total), all of the shooting normally done with them was turned into reservist action shooting competitions with sweet (literally) prices for winners. Bit of a humble brag but army dentist told me I had 13 holes forming into my teeth and should cut down on sugar intake

That SISU truck is so cool.....love that thing.

This is like a poker run for guns. This is cool and looks fun Edit: to clarify a poker run is something i did on a dirtbike growing up in OR and WA. Sometimes you have to ride on only wet logs, sometimes you have to navigate a difficult section while balancing an egg on your head etc

[@JerryEricsson]

Ah yes, I do envy you, being able to travel around the world to these wonderful matches. I wish I were able to get our there and participate in these games but age and physical health have put a stop to such wonderful games for me. I have had the joy of traveling in such forests and mountains as those, however not in those particular ones, mine were while training for Mountain Warfare in Washington State at Yakama. a sub fort of Fort Lewis, and into Fort AP Hill in Va. and desert training at Fort Bliss Texas. My dad was a pure Swede who grew up speaking the lingo so I do have a love of Scandinavia so the view of Finland was wonderful. Strange, with the Internet and all, one day my wonderful wife and I were comparing where our ancestors lived, her families farm in Norway is still being farmed by her relatives although they were not known to us, their family farm was near the Swedish border, my family farm. still being farmed by relatives is only 50 miles from hers, across the border in Sweden

[@lorenzmaut3708]

Pretty funny that in almost every opportunity you have some sort of extra challenge (part of the experience of being in a extremely cold place). The gear you were using was not tough all that much but anyone can have this issue, and I am sure you will do extremely good in the next one.

[@rreeves0710]

JEEZ I doubt I would do that well, but I would love doing this course with my equipment! I dunno how my thingies will run in super cold temps but I know for sure it would be way heavier than his riffle
