CQB House Run (Part 1): One Man vs. Multiple Armed Threats

[@toshiro858]

Hey guys, thanks for the great comments. I want to make sure guys understand what we are doing in this series. This not about the scenario so much, but making Myles work through problems using skills and technique he learned over the last couple years with pressure. The problems are going to becoming more and difficult over the next few vids. Again thanks for the great comments.

[@finaljustice3848]

Awesome that you created this series and sharing it with others. There was so much to unpack from this ep alone and its prob only the surface layer of room clearing lol. Great content guys I hope everyone that watches this can get useful information out of it cause I know I sure did.

[@timspencer1856]

While you never want to "go after 4 guys by yourself" the SAS dude in Nairobi pretty much did just that. He "only" took out 3 bad guys that had ak's - bomber vests and ieds. It just depends on the individual and his skill set. That particular SAS dude probably had a rough time in the doorways considering his balls just barely fit through lol

[@R.Sole88109]

Chris Craighead is his name. Zero fucks given what the pussy terrorists were called.

[@maximus.4656]

And it was hours long multiple ingress and egress .. people forget that .

[@LTLC]

[@baronbuehler3208]

Not only long hours of ingress egress, also countless hours working and honing the skills before hand. Have many hours clearing while in the Corps. I can tell you our hearts raced the most on house clearing.

[@aeromech8563]

Christian Craighead. After the first guy detonated himself Christian neutralized the other four., while saving dozens of hostages and disoriented public clearing not a training "killing house" but a hotel a big hotel! Even more impressive he wasn't even working he was called to give aid by an unknown. Legend indeed he has done some other rather impressive feats of bravery and skill showing that the Regiment is still the highest skilled SF group in the world. They quite litrely wrote the book! 👌

[@ib3scope]

As a long-time follower of the TacticalHyve Channel, it's been fun to watch Myles' skillet improve and evolve over time. His weapon manipulations, i.e. his comfort collapsing the weapon rounding corners, in addition switching from his strong-side shoulder, when pieing opposite-side (weak-side) angles is manifestly more polished and refined; his shot selection and intuition when clearing is also noticably improved! ^_^

[@RogueRc]

This video is amazing. I love how the scenario involves complex rooms/lighting situations vs. a simple threshold. The mentor/mentee formatting is incredibly valuable as well - posing questions, answers, and a review all in one. There is so much excellent information here for one to digest. Great work Myles and Tosh!

[@GuilePatrick]

I can only sum up everything in one sentence ... This is great stuff...

[@guitarthrasher81]

Myles is a beast

[@CombatArmsChannel]

Great attention to detail! The shooter knows his stuff for sure, but refining those minute things only helps. One man clearing is sketchy so it takes a lot of confidence and quick-thinking to prioritize danger areas.

[@believethehype8936]

This is one of the better videos posted by this channel. Solid work Myles! Hope to get to your level at some point!

[@TacticalHyve]

Appreciate the comment!

[@iamblichus5318]

Wouldn’t the scenario be better if it was reversed? One man attempting to fend off 4 intruders…that scenario seems to be more likely going forward.

[@footfeathers]

It's useful to know what to do in that situation but the skill is pretty basic. Set up in your predetermined safe room of your house (or an office room) and wait for them to come to you. This training covers a lot more skills needed.

[@tswart007]

Yeah I was hoping for that too.

[@AverageJoe4063]

I would also like to see a scenario with one man against multiple intruders. I have a family and with the way my house is laid out, the barricade and wait for them method is not feasible.

[@beardly0121]

@@AverageJoe4063 why not have a designated safe room that's sorta centrally located around the bedrooms that all the people in the house at least attempt to get to in the event of an emergency and post up in there?

I really appreciate this video! Most tacticool videos won't show their mistakes, they want to look like high speed "operators". Y'all kept it real, and talked over the mistakes which is EXACTLY what we need! More videos like this! Is Tosh Nihongin?

[@toshiro858]

Okinawian

[@keith5711]

I was just saying something similar earlier. Single man room clearing is VERY difficult (and very VERY dangerous) so you will make mistakes, the main thing is doing what you can to midigate those risks. I think they should try some more elaborate schemes like adding moving targets (as in able to change locations) and maybe even multiple structures, because you can NEVER train too much when it come to this stuff.

[@JoseGomez-le4gr]

Constructive criticism in a respectful way makes for an all out better video

[@ryanwood6754]

exactly why I liked the video. Sure some mistakes were made and even I spotted one about 4 minutes in but it is a very difficult thing to achieve especially when your learning it. He did extremely well.

[@AlphaTangoSierra]

When I was watching you clearing the compound, two questions were suddenly popped up in my mind and decided to write it down right away in the comments section, but I again prefer to watch the complete video first before I write something. I'm happy to see that the Instructor pointed out the same two things what I had in my mind, that you didn't use WML where needed essentially and you continously manipulate with safety as you were the only man in the drill. Anyhow good stuff, really appreciate your efforts. Keep it up man, thumbs up for you guys 👍

[@toshiro858]

Thank you

[@nickc8819]

Excellent video! Overall, Great job one-man room clearing. Identifying the hostile versus the non-threats.

[@TacticalHyve]

Glad you liked it!

[@c.r.chandler5905]

This situation reminds of Police Officers responding to an active shooter event. Training and scenarios like this should be mandatory for us to ensure that we know what we must do if we have to go into a structure during a real event,.

[@toshiro858]

Very similar

[@TheJBerg]

That and a dozen other things. There's probably 3 - 5 weeks of knowledge and practice a year needed by our officers across a wide variety of things that are expected of them. That's a month of pay and time they aren't on shift or on call, and most departments don't have, or at least make the time, the time or funding for that.

[@c.r.chandler5905]

@@TheJBerg you hit it right on the head. I remember working for a chief that limited 99% of the officers in our agency (the 1% where he buddies) to one training class a year. I remember asking him about that he said he didn't want a bunch of brainiac officers in his department. Just answer calls and then write reports

[@keith5711]

He did great, it's easy to knock him for his faults, but in the moment, under stress, decisions like that are difficult to make. I guess MY biggest thing was that first room he entered after entering the structure, he took WAY too long to collapse his sector of fire, instead of sweeping the entire room (since he cleared 80% of it before entering), he shouldve simply cleared one corner than snapped around to the other, but then again, I'm not the one in the moment. Lastly, I like how hard he dug out his corners, especially under stress, without proper training, it's easy to let that kind of small stuff fall by the wayside, but it could just as easily save your life. Good work! Lets see more scenarios like this, they're good training for civilians, fun (and fun to watch) and educational.

[@preacher1776]

I very much disagree with the safety discussion at approx. 8:00. I definitely understand the idea, but, I'd suggest we never get used to on-fire weapons in the middle of a high-stress environment like the one demo'd here. What happens when you train to keep that safety off, then drop into a team environment where you're not the #1 man? It takes less, an avg of .25s break a shot, less to get that weapon off safe on entry. Better to save your team from a negligent discharge during an entry. Otherwise, really loved this video Many focus on team entry rather than clearing by yourself. Great work here. Pied the corners, determined danger areas. Well done! And, I like the, "If you have a gadget on the system, be prepared..."

[@madhatter9861]

That roll through the doorway was incredible. Definitely gotta start training that.

[@RontakuAB]

I am glad you guys are doing this because if you think about it.. you have a threat in your home or in a commercial building.. you may be the only responder around until Police arrive.. So eventhough you never want to room clear by yourself, should train to the best of your ability because that is unfortunately the more probable scenario is being by yourself.

[@believethehype8936]

Took a training a few weeks ago and in these types of drills there are so many variables that you have to have locked into muscle memory. I made so many tiny mistakes from ammo awareness to body positioning at doorways vs hallways. Little things but unless you're training and making these mistakes, you will never know where your skill level is or what you need to work on. Up the stress and even more "little mistakes" add up to monumental ones. Great video, best one from this channel in a long time.

Hey guys, I saw a lot of comments about safety manipulation. There are different schools of thought on this. I have been through many of them. Bottom line do what you are comfortable with. That being said from personal experience if I am the #1 man my weapon is on fire ready to engage. Now if my weapon is not being used in my search of course put on Safe. Thanks guys.

[@ericanderson3777]

Great video! I only found one video you guys have on light placement. I cant help but wonder if the light placement effected Myles's use of his light. I kept trying to pause it to where I could see, but couldn't tell if his light could be actuated from both sides. I wonder if it is an ambidextrous set up, and if not, if that made him subconsciously disregard it. Again though, great info and training points.

[@TacticalHyve]

It shows the use of his rifle light has not become habitual. Under stress, a lot of things happen. Being in the exercise versus flat range training is very different.

[@ericanderson3777]

@@TacticalHyve I'm not going to lie, I'm not sure if you mean "has not become habitual" positively or negatively. Agreed on your second point.

[@sa-amirel-hayeed699]

@@ericanderson3777 I think he meant it simply factually, the shooter hasn't learned to use his light when appropriate because he has not ran enough simulations where he used it. I would suggest playing airsoft legitly with a light. It has the benefit of teaching you observation, weapons manipulation, light manipulation, movement, etc. It's obviously not quite near real life fighting, while it can induce training scars like for example endless shooting from magazines that hold hundreds of rounds but target detection and acquisition are still skills learned while playing and for me I use a light when I play, it's very useful and teaches you both light discipline and to use it when necessary and when I go shooting with my real rifle I use my light in low light conditions fairly often. You have to think about doing it until you do it habitually.

[@salorostov576]

This is EXACTLY what I wouldn't teach. Number one knowing how many targets and what they're going to do is teaching you to expect a specific outcome. Did that and you can expect to die. You need to adapt and work any problem... Moving targets included.

[@nobodyspecial1852]

Depending on how you wargame it? Let's say he was clearing his house after a break-in, he saw them get out of the vehicle from his bedroom window or camera feed. He saw four but only three were actually inside and the no-shoot was a family member he could have hurt if he got too anxious on target id. Where was the last target, took off or was only ever the lookout and never entered, that's normal and getting hung up on it causes anxiety.

[@snowonher6968]

Might have been in the heat of the moment and forgot or maybe he was planning on attacking that small room by running side ways so he wanted the weapon in his strong side.

[@marsoelflaco5722]

It looks like a 30 round magazine was used. I the "heat" of clearing and shooting, when is it recommended to change mags?

[@ryanwood6754]

something I noticed at 4:30 was that he could see a doorway (closet in this case) to the left but he entered the room and THEN turned to the left. In that time the enemy could have shot him if already pointing a gun at him. He can already see nobody can be on the right side of the room and the front is clear and so is the area where the mattress was. But he enters and then hears a shuffle turning left. Had the guy not moved he could have shot him. Instead he should have positioned himself already prepped to be aiming at the closet and stepped in whilst aiming in that direction.

[@mike8386]

You need to remember that its easier watching from the side and telling someone what he could/should have done because youre not under stress like he is and you have different angles and information you see that he doesnt at the time. Altho not wrong, remember that its easier said than done.

With smooth rolling a corner, you expose yourself to every single threat in the room instead of one at a time. It looks cooler, but you're pretty much screwed if there are 2 or more guys in that room.

[@totenfurwotan4478]

Movement makes you harder to hit

[@alecubudulecu]

Sure. In concept yes. But it’s one of the better alternatives. Multiple peaking is much worse. You don’t want opponents to know your position and keep peaking the same angle. And smooth movement …. Technically erratic varied movement is better but that’s insanely difficult and requires coordination better left focusing on firing and target acquisitions. Fast movement. Sure. As long as you can acquire targets. But yes fundamentally it’s very dangerous. They all are and smooth movement is one of the better “less risk” options. One time peak and take out targets … while that’s the dream … is usually impossible to do

[@mateuszjarodzki1829]

Yep, you've got that right. Also leg stance is wrong. At first room he attacked positive corner fed insteadof negative. Door opening from wrong side etc. Don't get me wrong, he's still doing great job . Check Eli Fieldboy's CQB methodology . That may help
