Tactical Impact (2008) - Clearing the Street/Building - Episode 1

[@chumccurry1765]

Only you guys , who combined with highly training and combat experience, are able to provide such educative video. Every minute is worthwhile.

[@parkjihoon394]

what weapon would you choose? we have 3 choices: the M1 Garand, already a legend by this point; the M1 Carbine, a very popular weapon among the troops; and, let’s jump ahead in time a bit, the proton cannon from the arc reactor on Iron Man’s breastplate. very difficult choice. which would you choose?

[@easy506th2]

Gentle Breadcat, Esquire whichever gets the job done

[@samuellowe4047]

M1

[@The_SmorgMan]

But was it used in Panama?

[@Kriegter]

m4, proton cannnon too much collateral damage

[@davidsirmons]

IM's arc reactor blasts had an incredibly limited range: 200ft or closer. Not useful outside of CQB. A hyper-velocity standard projectile firearm would be far more useful.

[@Xoruam]

My choice for Iwo Jima - if it was available at the time - would be a f-ing plasma rifle. WTH kind of argument is this, "if it was available at the time"? Yeah, of course you would choose a weapon from +12 years in the future, no shit. In a fight between a Messerschmitt and a Spitfire I would also choose an F-18 Hornet, but that's kind of missing the point, isn't it?

[@johnlloyddy7016]

The M14 kinda surprised me too. I was expecting the third choice to be a B.A.R.

[@davidsirmons]

it's a legitimate statement: imagine what kinds of projectile weapons might be in the future, and some enterprising individual or group could task themselves with making it NOW. I've thought about this at length, and it's pushing me to become a gunsmith to test it.

Been training on clearing my house when nobody is home and it's very important to learn.

[@xboxx706]

what? are you really that scared.ore do you live in a war zone?

[@johnwickstuckinthematrix8121]

Jay Mendez good for you keep training we never stop learning and being able to confidently clear your home and having a plan for a defensive scenario is invaluable to yours and your loved ones safety👍🏼

[@808INFantry11X]

Jay Mendez I do given all the other stuff I need to learn as an infantryman I try to keep up with a little bit of MOUT training at home if you got a rubber ducky gun or a airsoft weapon that's probably the most ideal to use put on your plate carrier to if you got one so it simulates having to maneuver around furniture and corridors in full kit nothing wrong with that just make sure everyone on this thread just be safe about it.

[@feliperodriguez2716]

Me too good for learning movement around corners and stuff.

[@15iloveguitar]

@@xboxx706 Why is it such an issue to you that people train to be ready for the worst.

[@KimJongSkill492]

take a shot every time one of them says "panama"

[@PhazerOnest]

"My pick would be a gun that didn't exist at the time... " yeah no shit..

[@mr.speyside5240]

Niz Dub Gimme a m27 or a m416. That would be my choice lol.

[@RadeUeMasq]

Angel S Those are copies based on the M4. They are no better then an M4 either. I'll take an AK any day though.

[@mr.speyside5240]

Rade Ue Masq Yes but every gun evolves if worthy. The M4 was great but I would prefer its more current representations.

[@RadeUeMasq]

Angel S Well I am going off experience. The M4 was my service rifle. Didn't care for it really. It got the job done & all but it just felt eh! Everyone has their own tastes though.

[@LungZ762]

Larry Vickers doesn't play by the rules!

[@MrSwitchblade327]

I do this every time I'm heading to the fridge for a beer. You just never know.🤪

[@user-dv8ge8hf1o]

Watching this show introduced me to LAV. I've seen him in many different shows and I like his no nonsense style. Semper Fi Sir!

[@CBGAMING127]

Mr vickers you are a bad ass, true American hero/hardass.

[@curtism-w6b]

When I'm shooting that close, I want to touch my teammate with my elbows so I don't have them running in front of me and risk hitting them.

[@JSpidey]

UF Pro did a really good series that involved that. Muzzle to flesh is the technique they called it.

[@mrdark9916]

All it takes is a round to impact the wall next to him, for him to involuntarily flinch right into the line of fire. I had a bit of an issue with it also.

[@fogowar2022]

I was nervous watching it. The drills were pretty bad.

[@Baltimoreborn]

Imagine giving Delta advice lol

[@curtism-w6b]

@@Baltimoreborn did I? Or did I say what I prefer to do?

[@CarBENbased]

i love this, very entertaining and educational. I'd love to see more on the specific tactics rather just the weapons used though and i would really love it if you guys did an episode like this focused on home defense and other civilian personal defense situations.

[@danielmarshall4587]

Man alive this is glorious, thank you Mr Vickers and to the rest of the crew.

[@TimHPop776]

One of your best historical and current firearms with practical use. I learned a lot, we'll done. Thanks.

[@exoticxlj8815]

Super weird to see LAV without his Goatee. Rocking it nowadays, though. Glad to see old clips still floating around, Larry. Thank you for your service to the United States and the gun community.

[@TheDemocraticNationalCommittee]

Watched a lot of these years ago, but still awesome and still learning something every time

[@adamrhoda8482]

the iwo jima part was gsrbage. like "dogfight in the battle of brittian, what would you use? a hurricane, a spitfire, or jump forward and use a f-14 tomcat?

[@shiro-r4m]

This is actually pretty cool Larry, comparing weapon systems form different time periods

[@meangreen816]

Glad you brought this back.

[@MiketheMadness]

nice to see larry still got the moves and having fun

[@foist101]

This is a great show, thanks for the upload.

[@yadjekim]

Excellent vid, gentlemen! keep it coming!

[@curtisburnett6384]

Love the light in line with the front sight. I don't care much for stuff hanging on the side of a rifle.

[@hambone7777777]

I have the DVDs. Seen it a dozen times...Classic, thanks.

[@thebadness6217]

wow this is so bad ass. I can't believe i've never seen this till now. I've seen dozens of videos of larry training people on a shooting range but that was mostly weapons handling and basic shooting while moving. I've never seen him do stuff like this before. Larry was smooth AF in this. Their pacing was a lot more what i would have thought cqb room entry/clearing would be like.

[@slyzit5613]

Excellent vid! Realy awesome! Thank you Larry!

[@jonathansanchez6687]

hope you guys bring back some more tactical impact videos =) this is awesome

[@truebornsonofliberty554]

Love the recent content Larry!!!!!

[@easy506th2]

glad to see there be some fellow lefty shooters

this video is bad ass

[@fredrikmagnusson6469]

This was cool, can't wait for more episodes

Just what i was looking for, maybe in the future you could revisit this in a modern take.

[@bobboberson7684]

Man I learned a lot from this video, One of Larry’s best for sure. Don’t understand why theirs all this hate? Come on guys

Really I love this episode

[@reddevilparatrooper]

Once again Larry!!Outstanding!!!

[@mr.tall-man1573]

I remember these on TV! Post more in HD Larry!

[@NewYorkSucks76]

That Iwo Jima one took ne out of the episode. i was thinking the three choices would be garand, carbine, bar, or maybe switch out the carbine for a thompson but the m14 was pointless. In the battle of Midway would you rather have an f4f wildcat, a corsair, or an f86 sabre. its just a dumb comparison.

[@mattwalters6834]

NewYorkSucks76 yeah, I was expecting Garand, carbine, SMG (Thompson or Grease Gun).

[@MrGoodSkills]

Terrific! Good to see you Aaron. I met you while back in SGA, Spring, TX

[@mosin9105]

Saw this when it aired. It's too bad Tactical Impact is no longer on the tele!!! Aaron Roberts and LAV BADASSERY!!!

[@shadwick8]

This video is really well done. You may say cringey which i understand a bit but the facts overide that. Great vid

[@liming2104]

This video is an excellent presentation.

[@XxCubbyFanaticxX]

I love how regular Joes or one range visit a month (or less) kind of people so mindlessly try to correct the tactics and methods of someone who has literally spent thousands of hours training with the most experienced and combat proven men in the world.. this shot just blows my mind

[@pierrevandyk8960]

Was thinking the same damn thing

[@jeffschaeper6429]

Good shit LAV. Liking to new style.

[@scottfryer3611]

Love the "Ready Mag". I have one on one of my ARs. Makes the gun a bit heavier, but it does balance well.

[@SoCalPatriot81]

Excellent video!

[@charminglamar]

Expose the gun to early when hitting corners. Can easily be grab if a enemy is riding the edge of a corner. If in a boor way it slows the team from coming in behind you. And turn corners with gun pointing down is crazy to me.

[@nateweter4012]

This was absolutely wonderful, great job LV. A little critique if I may; The part reviewing Iwo Jima, the weapons reviewed were the M1 Garand, M1 Carbine and M14(just for consideration sake). The bit would have been much better served by sticking with the historical options and just going a little deeper, example: M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, M1903A4, B.A.R. M1A1 Thompson, M3 Grease Gun, M1919A6 .30cal. This would give a more historical accurate review and consideration and really add a lot of depth to the program. I understand these weapons can be difficult to come by and shooting a vid like this takes a lot of hard work, it was very enjoyable nonetheless and we can't wait for more episodes. It fills that big gap historical shooters and collectors are needing for viewing and listening material while at the gym, commuting, relaxing etc. Great Job.

[@joshuataft2019]

thanx l a v ...u made my daym I love these

[@docteurguillotine]

absolutly great video, instructing and interesting. Thanks!

[@boostamante64]

These old eyes. I wish the dot dot on my aim point looked that round to me. It has a slight starburst but I'll live.

[@mrdark9916]

Mine as well lol. For precise shots, co-witness your dot through your rear sight aperature, tightens it up very well for me. Takes no effort, I don't even notice I do it anymore, it became natural with training. For close, quick shooting not necessary, but for a bit of a longer poke it helps quite a ton, tightens it up to a perfect crisp dot rather than a damn paint splatter haha. Astigmatism ftw... Lol

[@bill1.4all8]

Bring it back!

[@DomKirby]

I mean if we're going on "if it were available for Iwo" - I would want a squad stacked with a few riflemen with M4s and an M249 team or two. Just saying.

[@johnpagdilao6075]

It looks like the way LAV sets up his rifle really hasn't changed. All that changed was the mounting system, from quad rail to keymod.

[@jamesrelinski8853]

Larry Larry Larry... M14 HANDS DOWN BROTHER!!! If our soldiers had the M14 in WW2 there sure as shit woulda kept MANY MANY more American GIs alive and greatly attributed to lots of more dead Krauts... My Grandad watched many of his brothers get ventilated by those Nazi fucks as the spoon jumped from thier M1 Garands as they fumbled to reload. My Grandad and I had this very same conversation before he passed. God bless those young 18, 19 and 20yr old men who stormed the beaches on D-Day facing almost certain death. Now 18yr old boys need a safe place to go when they are stressed out. Grandads generation was most definitely the greatest generation of Americans. Ever.

[@mattwalters6834]

Fergesslich we should make a drinking game out of it.

[@Osvath97]

I have no idea why people are calling this cringey. This is an educational and entertaining video, with at least one of the people participating in it being a former Delta Force Operator. There is no bad acting, there is nothing cringey about this video at all, it is not a video of some kids pretending to be soldiers. Sure, it may have a little bit of that American swash and swagger about it, but it is an American video, after all.

[@aestheticrichmond8605]

Their calling the first scene; the introduction to this video, cringe-worthy. If was created during 2008 so I can see as to why a few people are saying what they're saying.

[@davidsirmons]

I'd imagine in outside spaces, having 1 person with a drone giving enemy locations would be a good thing.
