The Fundamentals of Gunfighting. Buck Doyle, Field Notes Ep. 47

[@robertschaber553]

Buck is a stand up man. Came to train our Marines for the weekend at 4th Force. Wouldn't even eat the hot food from the chow hall since the Marines training couldn't have it. So Buck and CD sat and ate MRE's all weekend as a civilian contractor.

I was in the Army and a Recon Marine came to our unit-he re-upped with Army and I learned a ton from that man! Great guy and no bullshit. Definite and absolute professional. He was honor grad at Ranger School at like 36 years old or some crap.

[@geoffsmith76]

It’s funny since in Marine boot camp we are almost taught to HATE the Army in the 90’s.... yet so many Marines infantry I knew joined the Army afterwards lol

[@Lifechanging99999]

@@geoffsmith76 That's because the Marine Corps is a horrible place to have a career unfortunately.

[@bbllaakkeeee]

More alike than different none of us hate each other. It’s all banter and acts of endearment that only those within the brotherhood would understand. Those that have this mentality in the service are either boots (which will learn really quick) and pogs.

[@rangerwolfhound]

I was instructing Marines in TOW, Javelin and live fire driving courses (I'm Army) they invited me to do a 2 week shooting school...(I've been thru most Army schools) thought what can I learn...…..was a great school.....I go into every situation with an open mind like to take his rifle course....I feel i'll have to buy a better rifle

[@volairn70]

My best friend did 10 years as a grunt in the Marines, then 6 in the army as a grunt, finally did 6 more in the USAF air guard as an SP. He called it his 12 step program to get demoted and retire (got demoted one rank with each switch of service). The stuff he taught to his USAF SP unit was hilarious. It was so far beyond what command wanted them to know. He brought his airmen a little USMC and they ended up out performing all the other SP units in his wing.

[@dr.michaelbennett8597]

I know this is a late entry, but this is good information regardless if you're an Olympic conditioned linebacker, or 60 and overweight like myself. As a doctorate trained RN, commercial pilot, mechanical engineer, bla bla bla, all of this is about situational awareness and taking advantage of your own capabilities to defeat the enemy. All good. And, given today's environment, we might need this here at home with little warning. Train friends.

[@ThisisFerrariKhan]

@@Imtheeyeti Race is important. it has a lot to do with it. I spent two years in Afghanistan supporting Group and POLSOF and 90 to 95% of SF is white Caucasian. There were a few “black” SF guys and there is just as few “black” intel guys. The white guys told me they would like to see more “black” guys come in but the truth is, most “black” guys don’t even know the opportunity exist how to properly train for it. On the 4th SF team that came in, their Company SGM was a black SF guy. He was a great guy, he helped me get my team air assets so my Polish team could continue to operate. Four of my office mates were retired Green Berets and one was a “black” guy we called him Uncle Snoop. He was super skinny and super chill and calm, totally not what build people expect GBs to be. My most memorable deployment and that was 2017 to 2018.

[@RedSalamanderr]

100% great advice. My only thing about training as a civilian is, I feel like these environments are only valid for recon special operations. Most civilians like myself in Dallas are in urban areas. I wish their are facilities here in the area to train for cqc. If you go for a walk around town with your range finder and range out various ranges around you, whether if it’s where you’re at to the stop sign down the block, or the building at the end of the block, I could only get a range up to 250 yards. Training in a remote area I feel drastically changes once you actually end up in a city in a SHTF scenario

[@digitalpilot6854]

As a pilot the fundamentals are going to be easy for me to remember. Just like AV8, navigate, communicate. Pracrice like you play.

[@AmbGun]

I'd reorder...Shoot, Communicate, and Move. Rarely move before communicating and coordinating with teammates. Stress of lethal conflict is way different than physical exertion. Different hormonal dump. And when the range is two way, you best make optimal use of cover by being ambidextrous.

[@SteveSavage79]

I could be mistaken but I’m pretty Buck Doyle was my DI in Marine Corps basic training. I was in boot camp the summer of 98 and he was a Sargent.

[@itscold316]

One thing a buddy of mine did when teaching me was took me to a range he had set up in the woods. Took a while to get there and I kept thinking man where is that range we are walking through a damn swamp for a half hour by now. Then without warning after crossing a river he starts firing ahead of us and I was so focused on slogging I didn't even see the paper target he tacked up at the base of a steep hillside on the other side of the river, but I caught on and mag dumped the target. Learned plenty just with that method. I also figure, he knew where he was going and where he set up that target. I had no idea it was even there til he started shooting. Taught me that I was not as aware as I needed to be

[@dambigfoot6844]

I would highly recommend to watch the video titled ''How a German Squad attacks a position (WW2) ''. It shows the German WW2 tactic how they create chaos and move to another position of cover. Within a 1 minute period of the attacker shooting, the defender could be shooting at a vacated position or back to scanning the horizon.

[@smithnwesson990]

Wish there were places like that here near Philly to go out and shoot at. It gets repetitive just going to the indoor range

[@erwin643]

I was trained by Vietnam Vets as an Infantryman in the early 1980's. All of this re-invented way to use a rifle, cover, etc. was not the way I was trained to survive on a battlefield. I was trained to operate from one position: The prone position, and ALWAYS behind cover (followed by a combat roll before getting up). This was the result of decades of research from WW II on up to Vietnam. I can't understand all of this standing around, kneeling around (OK everybody's wearing a plate carrier these days, but I'm not about to take hits in the extremities, period. It's OK if you have quick access to the best trauma care in The World), etc. It all looks like sniper bait to me. What about the guy you didn't see to your right hidden 100 yards away, who has full enfilade on you? I think the best training film I've ever seen on gunfighting is this old 1973 training film kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZK6oJStZt6oe6s. As a civilian Survivalist, I'll stick to old school. All of this re-invented gun fighting stuff isn't doing anything for us in Afghanistan, where a handful of casualties out of a company-sized unit throws it into disarray these days. It only took 40 KIA and 200 WIA to kick the U.S. Army out of the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan. And if the U.S. and the rest of NATO isn't capable of taking casualties, then war as we know it is about to become obsolete. Either that, or the next time the U.S. thinks it's going to fight another war in Asia, it gets it's ass beat in an asymmetric shift to old-school human wave assault (as in Korea) by an enemy who isn't afraid of taking casualties, and actually believe in what they're fighting for.

OK, I'm not even a video game shooter, so maybe I missed this detail somewhere long ago, maybe its a dumb question but... Why are those guys taking shots with their thumb over their trigger finger, and not wrapped around the grip? 8:58, 8:59, 9:00 ...

[@appliedperformance773]

Big Al Sparks Many people feel like they can pull the trigger more precisely by using that hand position. When shooting far or precise targets It’s very easy to move the gun slightly and miss when pulling the trigger so whatever works.
