Closed Door CQB Procedures: Push Doors

[@Edible_Semtex_]

Civilian dude here. Thanks for these videos fellas. You guys have taught me a lot 💯

[@Dirigo.Development]

Are people arguing that there are scenarios where they think it is ok to stand in front of a closed door? I don't even stand in front of doors when I knock on them for non-violent calls, let alone a scenario where firearms are drawn.

[@oriontraininggroupllc2782]

Yes there’s about 5 companies right now teaching to stand in front of the door.

[@Dirigo.Development]

@oriontraininggroupllc2782 a small town street cop has better common sense than those companies, I guess...

[@mountaineerdefense2507]

Residential Hallway with an outward door.. oooof. With no other options or windows; its a good time to bring out the shield. Without any exigent circumstances call up an agency that has one.

[@Evan_Saboe]

Absolutely great info

[@RFlan-wg8jb]

Maybe something to deconflict... Some of our breachers went to a very well known breaching course. They talk about using the ram with "ass to hinges," which is obviously putting the dude in front of the door. This is mainly to protect the breacher from over breaching the door with the ram and smashing their arms on the frame. It is a real issue, but it seems like standing in front of it is going to cause worse problems than a broken arm.

[@oriontraininggroupllc2782]

I prefer different method for the reason you stated.

[@Pew556]

Great video. One question I have and don’t know if I saw it in the video is for doors that close on their own when thrown. Just curious for best practice on those types with the hinges at the top that cause them to close on their own. Thanks guys

[@jake7463]

What if the door swings back 50 percent bouncing off the wall. Does first man going in pin the door being the biggest unknown behind the door or first man clear opposite corner using door as concealment and two man pin the door.

[@galkinator]

Thanks for the video. Any thoughts on how to navigate a door with a commercial door closer mechanism that you can't just push open? Especially ones that close very quickly and powerfully? Can't just push it open. Thanks.

[@oriontraininggroupllc2782]

You just push it open and take the door dynamic while it’s open, or, you have someone staged jam a wedge or pin into the seam on the hinge side to keep it from swinging back closed. That can be a lot of exposure, so some guys teach for the wedge to be placed by the 3rd man after 1/2 took the door anyway

[@Rononymouss]

How do you go about training and getting a job doing CQB and room clearing?

[@roys2074]

Thanks so much for your content and knowledge, it’s truly life saving. Quick question, does any of this change for auto closing doors, similar to schools? Asking in regard to breaching during an Active Shooter Response.

[@oriontraininggroupllc2782]

Dynamic entry at that point. Just breach and go.

[@JohnTaylor-d5d]

Where can I find the FBI stats on officers shot at the breach point and last closed interior door?

[@oriontraininggroupllc2782]

LEOKA

[@REAPRTAC]

how would you tactically handle a door breach in both single CQB or with team member where you have a door that will not stay open long enough to make any positive ID inside the room, requiring you to push the door back open to pie the door frame? I have a personal "shoot house" and its an older house. in this house as I push the door open, it opens just as needed but because its hinges are worn out or whatever it may be, the door does not remain open, it instantly starts self closing to a small crack. so by the time I push from hinge side or wherever and back up out of the door frame get the gun up in the fight, the door is then basically closed. because its not latched not knowing proper tactics for this in single man CQB. I just use my AR barrel to push the door back open shine flash light, to avoid putting any of my body in the fatal funnel. especially since iv now given up my position. I do this 95% of the time in very low light conditions with gun light or under night vision.

[@slegault7904]

Hello, I am far from being a specialist in this field but I am really interested. For the last closed door in the event that no other option is possible, no windows, etc. Like a basement or a crawl space. Would the idea of ​​using a ballistic shield be a good option?

[@oriontraininggroupllc2782]

Depends on a lot, but I am generally not a fan of shields unless they are rifle rated and the guy deploying the shield is an absolute expert at one handed shooting.

[@ReadySetGoPictures]

Hey man - in related question - but what are your thoughts on sub guns? Like the ZF-5P? Do they have any use in the prepared civilian world? Or just fun toys to plink with?

[@oriontraininggroupllc2782]

They definitely have a use case, generally speaking, but for the “prepared civilian” it may be more practical to have a less limited weapon if you can only have one or two things due to budget etc.

[@АндрійГригоренко-б9ь]

Cool! Cool! Cool!

[@sevse23]

How about using a shorter gun for that corridor, if possible?

[@sethsimpson8086]

Rifle manipulation is typically far more important than rifle size. If you tell me more specifically which part your curious about I'll help as much as I can. I'm not associated with OTG but I've got experience.

[@oriontraininggroupllc2782]

Those are already very short guns for the 556 round. Some guys still advocate for subguns or even pistols in hallways, but I do not like the sacrifice of the rounds’ effect on target

[@sevse23]

@@oriontraininggroupllc2782 I totally agree about 556. I do have my own grunt experience, what we had at the time (short m4, folded stock) allowed more agility. Circumstances were different and we used explosives whenever possible. However with no such luxuries and in the confines of that corridor, the risk for someone like me to fumble a long gun is such that I may opt for a 9mm, with my buddy handling the longer weapon.

[@icarozaninicolombo1378]

Quick question on 12:50 (ish): for a lefty on the knob side, would it be an option to push the door with the weapon itself? I'm no expert and no experience. My thought process is that by opening with the hand is quieter and you have a better grip (literally) on the door control. You can push it, you can pull it, you can do what you want. But the idea I had was to turn the knob, leave it outside of the door knob catch thing, present the gun and push it with the gun tip while already on a low ready/presenting it. Maybe that wouldn't work if the door path was blocked but the same would occur the same doing it by hand, right? What are your thoughts on it?

[@sethsimpson8086]

From personal experience it's not great. I've seen barrels glance doors making a ton of noise, you give up a certain level of having your weapon where you want it by virtue of having to angle it into the door, you are also basically guaranteeing your rifle over penatrates into the room albeit just for a moment.
