Lynx Brutality Day 1: From Slovenia With Love

[@Reijack]

This man really just placed 3rd overall while wearing a 3-piece suit, let us never forget that Ian can shoot as well as he talks

[@jakobshanks3510]

And dresses

[@onpsxmember]

He put some work in physically and on the range and improved a lot.

[@baomao7243]

Gives me an idea… I wonder if when you get married and rent tuxes for the groomsman whether the groom should make everyone dress up in their tux the day before the wedding and then force everyone to run this stages. Imagine the lifetime grin on your face when you remember returning a rental tux and knowing you used it in James Bond-costumed shooting match stages with your mates. WIN! 🏆

[@genericpersonx333]

Also a reminder that a well-made suit is comfortable and versatile wear that can hold up under all sorts of conditions while offering practical advantages over more "casual" or even some tactical clothing. I do recommend kneepads under the slacks, because kneepads are just a good idea in general no matter your age or activity.

[@A-G-F-]

@@genericpersonx333 I doubt it offers any advantage over any Crye-style combat attire

[@enricopaolocoronado2511]

Ian walking up in a suit like that one side character in a lot of action films that ends up being more popular than the main characters themselves.

[@jrdougan]

He looks a lot like a 70s Secret Service agent in that getup.

[@luked2767]

If I was making a movie that had a weapons dealer I would ask Ian for the part, he had been in quite a few vids and it would be cool to see him as a weapons dealer and a shooter good, bad or gray. The gun play in John wick is good but the 2nd and 3rd are just awfull. I'm sure if Ian had his way it would be called the French connection and obsession, Ian plays a weapons dealer and he gets a as many french guns black powder to modern as he can like it's going to be used to frame the French government. The twist in the end is that he is the client and they go into his collection hahaha

[@sairabshah]

Secret boss character from Heat, I salute you Ian

[@george5156]

I'd love to see Ian in John Wick chapter four or five

[@AshleyPomeroy]

@@jrdougan Like Robert Wanko with his Uzi. There's a famous photo of a chap escorting Norman Schwarzkopf during Gulf War One wearing an office shirt, glasses, and a CAR-15 that comes to mind as well.

[@TheMapach]

Ian looking like he's about to escape a bank heist with a bag of cash on his shoulder and a FAMAS on his hands, total HEAT or PayDay vibes! what a badass

[@TheRogueWolf]

I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if Al Pacino had shown up.

[@thesandvitchman9303]

Me realizing my character looks like ian in pd2 and I main the famas for that build lmao

Whoever is doing the videography did an excellent (if not the most safe looking) job!!

[@ForgottenWeapons]

That was Jan, Polenar Tactical's cameraman.

[@fritzkuhne2055]

lol like an action movie xD

[@WingMaster562]

I agree, though I dislike the washed out colors and reduced framerate.

[@EmberTheShark]

@@ForgottenWeapons almost expected as much, that Guy is a really good camop. Always right Up in the Action

[@ArguingOnlineTouchGrass]

@@ForgottenWeapons You can really tell, their style makes ya look like Jason Bourne or something haha.

[@raideurng2508]

The guy at the dry cleaners who gets that suit is gonna be really, really confused. Excellent run btw. That pistol setup killed it.

[@johnh4957]

I can't believe the knees aren't all torn out!( my pants would've ripped wide open at the seat too!)

[@Getpojke]

Getting vibes of the film "Heat" watching you shoot in a suit. You were like a blacksmiths hammer with that little Arex Delta though, really fast & sure.

[@moonrazk]

He actually has done a match with a suit before that was directly inspired by Heat.

[@Getpojke]

@@moonrazk So he has, I'd forgotten about that, cheers.

[@raptornomad1221]

I certainly felt the heat after seeing the sun shining throughout the video.

[@ifyoudontfailyouarenoteven6210]

He must watch that movie at least once every month. Well, I myself do it at least once every 6 months. Still have a lot of improvement ahead of me.

[@scottwermuth9201]

8" circles at 25yds are breezy with the Donut of Death in that 509t. I have one on my carry gun, and it's like having an easy button. Circle on circle and press. (Not sure if he said if he was using the donut or not).

[@z0ck3r]

props to polenar, these challanges are actually creative and exciting to see

[@PolenarTactical]

Thanks! :)

[@BeingFireRetardant]

@@PolenarTactical Between the interview questions video, your regular content, and this series... you guys are just killing it lately. You're blowing up, because you've been putting in the work for years, but it's cool to see your efforts gain traction. That goes for everyone at Polenar.

[@DtWolfwood]

Props to the cameraman for having to keep up with Ian infront of him while sprinting backwards 👍🏽

[@ForgottenWeapons]

Jan (the cameraman) is an absolute monster. He ran (literally) every stage 6 or 8 times filming different people.

[@DtWolfwood]

@@ForgottenWeapons wow that's incredible.

[@randym6439]

Actually, Ian's friend is also wearing a "business" suit. I have heard that US forces that deployed to the former Yugoslavia called those Adidas track suits the "Bosnian Business Suit".

[@onpsxmember]

That's Žiga from polenar tactical. Check out the channel.

[@hughmac13]

I thought they were called "Russian tuxedos."

[@TheCatLady65]

Is that the Bosnian Mafia?

[@karl1ok]

Love the frantic energy of the camera work. Coupled with the suit it feels very much like the movie Heat

[@mrb692]

That action shot of the reload at 3:45 was amazing! Massive props to the cameraman for catching that moment

[@Jesses001]

So an awesome rifle, an awesome pistol, some awesome stages to shot, and awesome company to hang with. Seems like a rather good trip.

[@PhycoKrusk]

You forgot the awesome suit. For shame.

[@Jesses001]

@@PhycoKrusk Indeed. Style points.

[@gernhartreinholzen3992]

Damn, Ian looks mighty fly in that suit! Combined with the assault rifle, he looks like one of those high class professional bank robbers from the movies!

[@mtnbound2764]

mighty fly for a white guy!

[@kevinsullivan3448]

I was thinking he looks like an off the books CIA operative...

[@RayRAV]

I was never a fan of FAMAS, but the more I look at it in Ian's videos, the more It's growing on me.

[@McBobghost]

The camera work for these stages was very action-y compared to the usual. Very nice.

[@cchris667]

I got serious Heat vibes (the DeNiro movie) during the kettle bell stage. Ian in a suit using an assault rifle, filmed shaky-cam style! I love it!

[@SuperiorAutocraft]

The suit definitely compliments the FAMAS, and the FAMAS compliments the suit.

[@burningspoonful]

Ian is a man of action!! Well done sir, thank you for sharing this with us.

[@lastwymsi]

Ian with the suit and famas looks like some kind of Agent or Secret Service operator you'd see in movies.

[@khaaaaaaaaaannn]

I think the suit actually improved your shooting, not that you needed it. Great video and a great look

[@dabisnit]

It might, since suits are more restrictive, it might have been keeping him stiff and have less movement when prone and standing with hands outstretched when shooting pistol.

[@drworm5007]

It's just the +3 charisma makes you think he's better.

[@thekillers1stfan]

Look good shoot good

[@shootymcshootfacekoff7972]

@@drworm5007 don’t the suits also have a +1 to luck?

[@ParrotTactical]

Well done! Great to see more collabs among great channels with good content that isn’t too serious to watch or too silly to learn from.

[@baomao7243]

The unconventional stages of this match look SUPER fun to run with friends. Thank you for sharing this. It brought a smile to my face - a great way to hit the weekend.

[@LTLC]

Ian, you're not crazy to love the Arex Delta. I bought the M based mostly off TFB TV 's review, and I loved it so much I bought the X and L models as well. Best kept secret on the market currently. Hopefully they become more common in the states for better aftermarket support.

[@792slayer]

Ian cleans up nicely. Lookin sharp, my dude.

[@darth_rickard]

Let's take a moment to appreciate how much energy the camera is putting into moving around

[@Hashv1]

Awesome video! Also, the suit and famas look is complete boss, rocking it like a champ 007

[@KTo288]

Ian really needed a duffel bag stuffed full of cash, a la Kilmer and de Niro, to comlete the look.

[@timponn8573]

I'm excited to have legitimate dynamic shooting come to europe. Keep doing what you're doing, its actually changing things! ;)

[@ormjo940]

great to see you smashing it Ian

[@olivierpuyou3621]

The three-piece suit and the Famas, the height of elegance "à la Française". James Bond can go into hi ding⚜⚜

[@george5156]

The STD's caught up with James bond. He was banished to a remote island so as to limit of said STD's.

[@askarion5543]

Ian in that suit is a whole new level.I imagine it like in a Tarantino movie, where the main character messes up a whole cartell, eventhough they throw everything at him and on the phone the boss finally just says (with a cuban cigar in his hand at his pool) :"Vincent, I'm havin' enough of this shit. Call the expert!"

[@kennethmackintosh4690]

Great to see how much your competition shooting has improved since early FW/IRTV videos. I would love to see you shoot against Karl nowadays

[@Aaron-ne4kr]

I don't know if my memory is just skewed regarding previous events, but this brutality match seems particularly brutal, in terms of jacking up your heart rate and breathing between your shots.

[@PolenarTactical]

Thank you, that was the intention :)

[@elmonitorrr2978]

Your whole appearance shouts „watch out, I’m a professional“ and you delivered. Well done sir, well done!

[@likydsplit8483]

In the first 30 seconds on the range, Ian demonstrates the genius of the FAMAS in a way I’ve never seen.

[@frankbrowning328]

Fun video. Sort of a James Bond look while firing a very cool course. What's not to like?

[@edwardwood6532]

I was thinking Ian looked like a hit man more then Bond. And a movie hit man better look cool.

[@dinsdalemontypiranha4349]

The beginning is really funny Ian! I saw it coming, but it was still really funny... Your humor is one of the reasons that I watch your videos. Keep it coming.

[@tomahawk1911]

Great job, Ian. The FAMAS carbine ran well for you. The mechanical offset between the optic and bore is huge. Trying for a precision hit at close range, 15-20 yards, like a head shot on an IPSC silhouette would require a careful holdover. Think,”part his hair”.

[@mon0light]

I really like these videos and these are also a good break from the rest of slow paced, information-packed ones

[@preedraag]

I enjoyed seeing Ian and Darko, both my favorite weapon youtubers, Darko being from my country. Nice show guys...

[@frenchfrey65]

Gun Jesus, in a suit, with sunglasses, with a Famas, is the most badass thing ever!

[@luisnunes3863]

[@acemace3618]

Whoever did the filming did a good job, I felt like I was in an action movie with one continuous shot and then the low angles

[@SuperBommer1]

[@jakubas6396]

i realised that he llooks like john wick after he reloaded the pistol on the texas star, good job Ian

[@aussiebloke609]

Looks somewhere between D.B Cooper and a G-man. And the straight, deadpan expression just gives the finishing touch. Awesome.

[@socmonki]

Ian looks good in a suit, even better that he can do all that work in said suit! And my fave the Delta showing how good it is! Now I just have to work on my shooting skill...LOL Great job Ian! And great job by the guys at Polenar Tactical for putting on an awesome competition! I really want to get into stuff like this but man I gotta work on my fitness...or it's just Polenar going ape. Crazy Slavs!

Amazing video and that Lily button-up is straight off the CHAIN!

[@MrJohnn57]

I just hit the like button before the beginning of the video : suit, FAMAS and an European 2 guns competition, that for sure something I like. If I may, one advice for the FAMAS : in the french army we learn to put the pin in the way that your body can't pouch it out, due to old pin that fall during march. And just for information, we learn to disengage the safety with the weak hand, so for righty you push with your thumb (to avoid full auto fire pushing with you right index) and I can just imagine push back with your index if your are a lefty.

[@StrangerOman]

Look at the end of stage 4, Ian in HEAT ;) Awesome shooting, total class.

[@immor7alzilla]

Love the videos Ian.

[@Deadeye-sj3qc]

This is very cool. To see a sport expanding Into different styles and different countries and everyone just having a good time doing it. I wish the mainstream media would pick up on this. How firearms can bring people from different backgrounds, countries with different languages together and have just a fun time.
