Your camera work was excellent. Other coverages I have seen so far have focused mainly on the contestants and don't necessarily give a perspective of the targets. Somehow you captured it and I can really see what the targets were. 👍

[@VosperCDN]

So cool seeing how far you (and bloke) have come from the first Brutality match. Nice to see Pascal decked out in Alpenflage. Looking forward to the next one, and one after, and the one after that ... etc !

[@jamesbromstead4949]

Very good run sir. Guns and gear not withstanding, a great improvement over the last brutality match. Thank you for the video, and your friends for the filming.

I spent my childhood playing in a mine field. We called it a cow pasture.

"One Shot Per Orifice", Chap you have forever ruined the V-Tac barricade for me

[@simonjones6128]

Impressive movement and stamina chappie old mikey was gassed out on his run

[@thebotrchap]

Well he did have about 15kg+ of gear and himself to lug around

[@BlokeontheRange]

12kg webbing + 5kg rifle + probably another 4-5kg in clothing/boots. And 12kg in webbing feels far heavier than 12kg in a plate carrier / shooter's belt... Plus I'd been driving a desk and not running!

[@MajorTymojo]

Very good showing, and no MAC breaking your knees in the pistol parts! Joking aside, very well done. Looking forward to the next.

[@mysterymete]

Very weird to see you not timing out while fighting malfunctions.

[@stephendavies923]

Excellent work Monsieur Le Chap.

[@brianthomson6896]

Great video and a very good performance in the match. You are constantly improving at the Brutality matches. Thanks for all of your quality videos.

[@wrxs1781]

Good show Chap and a very impressive match, the rigors of the competition were handled well.

[@jrstoelting]

Sets kettle bell from one side of the log to the other. "good throw" I enjoy the encouragement the RO provided 🤣

[@thebotrchap]

That RO has very deadpan humour 😅

[@thephantomboomerexplores]

Your loading press is so clean!

[@thebotrchap]

Most of my reloading doesn’t even need a press aside from decapping and repriming 😅

[@18robsmith]

I must have blinked while The Bloke was doing the "Daisy Chain Making".....

[@thebotrchap]

Well obviously they don’t show the true breacher challenges. The vids are all fake montages. I heard they did morris dancing too 🤫

[@18robsmith]

@@thebotrchap I hope they had to wear the obligatory bells on their ankles and waver their hankies in above their heads 🙂

[@rickansell661]

He was THAT fast.

[@mikethomas5510]

Morris dancing?😩that's brutal! @@thebotrchap

[@MichaelJohnson-tw7dq]

@@thebotrchap I thought morris dancing, and the high tea challenge were exclusive to English Brutality matches

[@phonepoies]

Nice, thanks chap!

[@ptonpc]

*blinks* Chap? Modern gear? BLASPHEMY!

[@nathanh3688]

“Poor fellow in a bit of bother” = leg blown off. I guess it takes a bit more than that to ruffle feathers at a brutality match.

[@myparceltape1169]

Didn't you have greasepencil to mark T1500 on his forehead?

[@kepanoid]

Well done, Chap. Here's a random thought: People run matches with bolt actions. It would be *extremely* entertaining to see some crazy chap try to run with muzzleloaders! No way to finish any of the stages, but would be very interesting to see all that loading action in a very stressful and demanding environment. Do we know *any* such crazy *chaps* ?

[@jediknight1294]

Congrats that was a solid run. You think you are going to do breacher? I need more shooting time and funds, God I want to get out there.

[@thebotrchap]

Probably won’t be breacher as they don’t tend to repeat the extra challenges but I’m up for whatever challenges they have for armoured division next year.

[@am17frans]

It is fun to see how you progress in these events over time! Also, in the future, I do hope you would highlight any and all stages were you beat the bloke!

[@thebotrchap]

Just stage 7 iirc

[@Soupishome]

Thanks Chap!

[@nirfz]

Well done! Little thought for next time (as you said you are going to try the tst division again) During my conscript time long ago, we carried our issued knife (Glock FM78) upside down on the left sholderstrap of the webbing. Stayed in at all times no matter what we did. (the webbing had a loop, the sheath fit through and we just put a loop of of strong 4mm elastic string around the sheath, over the webbingloop and underneath the "snap" of the sheath and so secured it in place) So maybe it would be advantageous to wear the knife you have a little different (like on the front plate carrier, maybe horizontal or even upside down on the shoulder like we did. Or maybe in general, get yourself something like the FM78 just for the brutality matches as it is locked into the sheath very secure. It doesn't seem like you need to cut a lot with the knife during the matches, so it doesn't really matter if it stays sharp for long, or if it is a good cutter. (But judging by the sheath at 28:31 it looks like you have a custom kydex sheath for a Jäkaripuuko which suggests that you probably would be probably more inclined towards the different mounting... I have a Jäkaripuuko myself, so i understand anyone who likes it)

[@thebotrchap]

I’ll be running the Stgw90 so I’ll see what I do with the bayonet so avoid such a fūck up again.

[@hanktorrance6855]

Always love your presentations and in these matches, your honest presentstion of the challenges and personal milestones! keep at it you get better and more comfortsble each time! also love your classic marksmanship

[@pkt1213]

Next year, they need to burry the mines and have you crawl from position to position, using a nonmetallic probe.

[@davidmeek8017]

Aloha; well done! Mahalo

Awesome job Chap!

Nice job Chap. Fully functional firearms are a definite plus.

Like and comment for the algorithm, I'll drop a real comment once I have had the time to watch the whole thing, in English and French. 😘

[@jacksoncz8536]

You did great, I have never shot a spinner (old guy lol) but they look like a real challenge. Best of luck with the 'chunkus' problem.

[@thebotrchap]

Thanks! The chungus isn’t a problem if I don’t pig out all winter. I like food 😅

[@Roger_Stenning]

Mental note: never, not ever, eat dinner while watching one of Chap's vids again... "...pole dancing, daisy chain making..." *cough choke splutter dinner everywhere except down my neck where it should be* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@GenX-Grampa]

You forgot “one shot per orifice”!

[@cedhome7945]

Allways looks easy until it's your turn ( I get the same with waiting at my clay club if I watch to long it will go bad)

[@nicflatterie7772]

Wow full Alpenflage. Just that is half the weight!

[@pmgn8444]

Nice shooting Le Chap! Nice that the modern guns worked (mostly) OK. How did Pascal and P-210/Stgw57 combo do?

[@thebotrchap]

Very well but unfortunately DQd on stage 8 due to momentarily lapse of caution. They still let him shoot the last too stages which was nice of them.

[@SwissFusilier]

here would be my runs😅 kzbin.info/aero/PLlbc3KRry_gHeQDr4qdbwJSLOm4C8OVZu

[@cliffwharn4599]

As always, very fun to watch. But wait a second... Stage 2, on the first set of targets on the way back, didn't you forget to shoot 2 targets? As long as the RO didn't notice it's all good I guess. :)

[@BlokeontheRange]

ooh yes, he did, didn't he! But if the RO didn't notice it didn't happen!!! XD

[@keithplymale2374]

The video paused with the audio continuing twice when I watched this. Has it done that for anyone else?

[@MPC_2117]

A job well done, even if you broke one of the cardinal rules. Keep mags LOADED! 😂

[@petesheppard1709]

I wondered how you could breathe with all that dust in your face!

[@PureCountryof91]

At some point id love to do this. With my own rifle/pistol, LBE.

[@juhanivalimaki5418]

"Target: Wagner politruk", oh, that's where the term "shooting prick" comes from.

[@Adrian-qk2fn]

At least you didn't step on a Landmine in Stage 2 unlike Ian.

[@WhatIfBrigade]

The FAMAS to VHS to AR pipeline.

[@BlokeontheRange]

We'll get him there one of these days :p

[@MichaelJohnson-tw7dq]

The FAMAS is the gateway drug?

[@michaelwhite9199]

So was it more enjoyable this year?

[@thebotrchap]

It was, I did miss the extra challenge of doing it in old mil/tactical gear but being free of the fear of something breaking was very liberating.

[@philips.5563]

If you take that holster to another event with a good likelihood of moon dust, I strongly suggest degreasing it before hand. Very good run.

[@thebotrchap]

Thanks! The mechanism is unfortunately a sealed unit but drowning it in degreasing solution and then blasting it with compressed air might do it.

[@williamguillIII]

I noticed you shoot your pistol left handed and your rifle, right handed. Are you left eye dominant? If so, how does that affect your rifle shooting through an optic?

[@thebotrchap]

No eye preference. Just learnt to shoot rifle as a righty ‘cos there were no lefty rifles to be hand and I couldn’t be bothered to do the gymnastics required to run a rightie rifle as a leftie since I was starting from scratch.

[@GenX-Grampa]

No Barbi song?? What a gip! LOL

[@BlokeontheRange]

Nah, that was for our squad only.
