In this part Eli familiarizes you with the different types of rooms you can encounter and dives into the tactics of CQB when you are operating alone.

[@jonathangriffiths2787]

Shit I was a Marine raider and learned some better tactics

[@MobileAura]

@@jonathangriffiths2787 I have some critiques of his slicing tho with the door. At 14 minutes you can see him slicing into the door instead of slicing as far back as possible. You should always slice and target from as far back in the room as possible to gain vision. I see some people who claim to be sny/pers who stick their thing out of the window.

[@tacticalcombatfighter2787]

What if a terrorists learn about it in this youtube ?. This technique should not allow to share in KZbin

​@jonathangriffiths2787 ofcourse you will these are Germans who have one of the best police special units in the world GSG9

[@baron.7284]

When you showed the video of the hostage rescue entry I immediately recognised it, just didn't know where from until the KSK tag popped up. This was from an actual exercise they did with the footage being used for their KZbin series. You basically found an error in the tactics of germany's most elite military unit and fixed it by using simple principles everyone can learn. That is what seperates a good instructor from a truly great one.

[@bnmnsmp4547]

@@uncle_martin1131 Don't underestimate things like gas pistols (with OC), pepper guns or traumatic guns which may be legal. Sure they can fail to stop an attacker, but this happens a lot with "real" handguns, too. In civil scenarios, they may even be the better choice because you don't have to worry about ricochets and wall penetration. Especially when you have multiple parties living in a house. If you are feeling you need something like a firearm. A staff, stick, dagger or sword offers protection against repurposed burglar tools or knives a handgun only offers distance.

[@mangalores-x_x]

@@MattyDemello "Its our right to own guns and we should own guns. " You are meant to man a militia army so the government cannot abuse the military for self enriching purposes nor use it to oppress parts of the population. Switzerland has a militia army, is anal about rules and regulations (because they are Swiss and Swiss consider Germans unruly and undisciplined) and has that army fully integrated into society. I see the US has failed itself on both fronts by convincing people bearing arms is a right of society, not a duty to society.

[@thepewplace1370]

@@mangalores-x_x This is utterly misunderstanding the intent and the language used. The Founders absolutely and unequivocally intended for the militia to be armed with the same weapons as a state force. They also intended it to be the entire male population, or the entire population. The training is the duty of the private citizen, as they wanted this to be decentralized from government control. These facts have been affirmed again and again. If you are a man in the US, you are a militia man. It is your duty to have arms and be proficient in their use, however the right to keep and bear arms is more basic than this: the 2A is a restriction on government, not society. This offers simultaneous defense against foreign invaders and defense against tyranny by having a widespread, decentralized armed society not under the yoke of the state. Let us in the US worry about our laws, you worry about yours.

Learning how to manage adrenaline when it starts poisoning your blood is extremely important. What makes it happen, how to dilute it, and how to recover when it leaves your body. As well as side effects of it. All part of good judgement when things get critical.

[@brennanlongboat4298]

I'm not combat experienced and I'm not trained but this makes a lot of sense how he explains things and videos are not as good as actually taking courses but for people who play airsoft and paintball can use this to an extent and more importantly this can help people who unexpectedly find themselves in the real situation to at least be more aware of their movement and exposure

[@LichtMaschinenGewehr]

Excellent video, and very informative. I can't say I agree with every last thing, but for sure I understand and respect your logic and how it informs your decisions. Also, your focus on single/pair/small team tactics is very helpful. I (and I think other viewers) would highly appreciate a video from you specifically on approaching a building/structure, there don't seem to be any videos on KZbin about this, and I'm sure there are ways to improve on the traditional techniques. Also, from my experience in force on force scenarios there is a significant risk when moving along a tubular space, such as a hallway, for the enemy to inflict serious casualties when blindfiring from around corners/doorways. Most force on force training seems to forbid this tactic for whatever reason, but it is commonly used by our enemies overseas, especially given their lack of training/experience. Would you mind sharing your thoughts on how to counter this? Thanks again, me and my team hope to look more into limited penetration to expand our options in cqb situations.
