Mark Koernke and Don Betcher discussed weapons training and preparedness on January 29, 2014. The show covered AR-15 platform selection and configuration, magazine capacity options, night vision technology and mounting systems, handgun shooting fundamentals including dominant eye identification, and advanced tactical training principles such as ambidextrous shooting, shooting around corners with minimal exposure, and three-dimensional urban combat scenarios. The hosts emphasized the importance of 10,000 hours of mastery through consistent practice, discussed pallet-based training structures for urban warfare drills, and addressed the critical need for proficiency in both-handed shooting to activate both sides of the brain. The episode concluded with information about night vision equipment availability and pricing, followed by commentary on recent deaths of banking executives.
Live 365. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic and each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iookeed vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, to dill the land of the free? This afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is the afternoon intelligence report. I am R. Kornke. And I'm Don Betcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, east, and northeast. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com. We're on Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com. We're on AM&FM microstations, CB base stations, and alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the homework that we're going to be using for the top of the eight and bottom of Florida. Bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico, headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, Big John, Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the Pitts through the 5th and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Keep up the good work, make a bigger list, photograph all the bad guys that thought they were going to harass you and the ones that thought they were in the shadows. put them on the list to you know how to make it work guys medic don't do it a great job so far i don't really need to tell you what to tell you what to do you've been doing it right anyway left coast where we have the state of jefferson a shining beacon on the coast rest of the uh... occupied territory darkened by the speed of mister kench of feinsteinism and the diapers tater brown california soviet socialist democracy part of the occupation to create a framework for putting boots on the ground in America, communist, Chinese, and others. Turning back to the east, we sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, land of the Smoky, slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crews, grammar teams, OK teams, and the Ma Bell Grammock and Sorceum are retired telecommunications workers. Bring us the Golden Spike down. It's blue. It's clear. It's going to be murder tonight. What's it like in your neck of the woods, sir? What's jumping off the wall out there? Well, Mark, on this 29th day of January, year of our Lord, 2014, it was cold today, the beautiful, crisp, bright day, almost all of the day, spent almost cloudless. A little bit of what appears to be some chemtrails on the south horizon there. But, beautiful day, the little birdies are flipping around in the trees and where Debbie went out and fed the stuff before she went to work this morning and it's all gone already. The birds are hungry, you know, they need to burn a lot of energy. I'm missing a cat out there though, I might have to kill a bobcat, just don't tell anybody, okay? But it is a particular day and with that in mind, you know that magazine between index finger and baby finger so it lays flat on the palm of your hand pushing forward up into the fingers, moving it to the same plane as your other palm. Once you register it that way, it's almost inevitable that the magazine goes into the well like water into a bucket if you just hold the bucket under the faucet. Now again, magazine and magazine well, touching that slide release. Oh boy, oh boy, I've got one in the chamber now. And because there's no one rushing at the door mark, I'm going to drop that magazine out. And I'm going to put a cartridge in. Some call them bullets. Put a cartridge in, push it down, push it back. And then again, mimicking the earlier motion, the magazine is in the magazine well again. And we can tell everybody it is weapons. Wednesday, the perimeter is secure. And there's plenty more where that came from. And that means we can offer equal opportunity coercive force. For everybody out there, definitely a need for doing it. Make sure again that we've got plenty of mags to back that up right now. There's a couple of companies that have gotten, there's one model down of eight round 1911 mags. It takes up the same space as your seven rounders, a little bit of an extension with regard to the way the base of the mag is rounded so that it actually makes up for the difference of that one round which is significant, straight in line magazines. A couple different companies have them including e-circoinc.com e-circoinc.com. Circo has a bunch of different mags in that they haven't carried for a little while and they're new manufacturers, new production. So just a little heads up there, you might want to peruse e-circoinc.com. Don, I figured there's two ways to do it. Either they got it from new manufacturers or they went over to the vault because Circo has deep, deep pockets in terms of stuff they've collected for, well, it seems like 60 years, guys. Well, they just often say, look what we found. Yeah, and they have some really cool stuff over there right now that they have done just exactly that. They got some really neat stuff that they've had on their list for a while but disappeared. It used to be in their ads in the Shotgun News. Well, I recognize some of those items and they went to, apparently they do use old mines. They have storage in mines where they've bought stuff and bought stuff back when it was pennies and they're opening up the wine vaults. That's what they've been doing. So you want to check them out every once in a while. There's stuff that hasn't been seen for a bit where you may have the weapon that matches up with the goodies that they got. And we want to make sure that they do connect so that everybody has what they need. Well, this is to be appreciated because many times you pointed out, Mark, that it would be better to have it in your hand than locked up someplace with somebody waiting for just a little bit of money for something. Yep, all in one place where somebody comes in and collects it all when the time comes. We don't want that to happen. Another thing here too, we're looking for full or complete AR-15 uppers. Now, like I've been saying Don, a lot of people have been building AR-15s on the serious note for the last year and a half and more, but in the last month, There has been a general sweep where people and it's it's regular people like you may have talked to all the guys that had what they had and It's like oh no It's just been one here one there one here to their five here one here to their five there You don't ever it's regular people doing this upper air 15 receivers complete You know barrel fixed everything ready to go even with or without the bolt carrier I'd prefer 20 incher and I'd recommend the same to all of you. Preferably, if you're going to spend the same amount of money and somebody's going to give you more material for the same amount of money, guys, get the more material first. Short barrels in the AR-15 are going to be around all over the place. But the standard barrel that you need to get that chipmunk cartridge to go a little faster, you want more barrel. Seriously, we're not trying to under gun ourselves, we're trying to up gun number one. But if you've got to go to the 16 inch barrel, you're fine. Problem is, nobody has any 16s out there either that are complete that I've seen. Delton, Del-ton, well, about now they should have caught up, but it turns out while they were trying to catch up, they've had a whole pile of back orders, so they really don't have that much in stock. If anything, the biggest problem is you're going to have to call and confirm. I would rather it be a barrel and a system in hand than a promise that maybe seven weeks down the road again they'll have it. If they have a 16-inch M4 type barrel system in stock and all of it's there, grab that instead. You can always buy another one because you're going to keep building AR-15s anyway. The 510 programs need to be a priority. I don't care which length barrel if you give me an AR-15 for a reasonable price, I'll grab it. In other words, if you're throwing it to me because I need it and you need to be putting the fight, I'll make whatever model you give me work. I've used every variation you can imagine, something you've never seen before either, and they're kind of twilight zone. So not there are 20 of. Yeah, exactly. So the big thing here again is, guys, Build what you can now an a3 is let's remind everybody the a1 is the traditional style carrying handle the m16 a1 type configuration That's with a simple flip site. I actually like those The a2 was giving you the match grade sites that originally were proposed on the ar-10 the Next step was the a3 now the a3 is called and you'll always hear this term the flat top and Now what they did is they put a machine to pick a tinny rail right on the roof of the AR-15. They dropped the carrying handle completely. That makes the whole top of that AR-15 upper receiver flat. Then they knocked and grooved it so that it will take all these cool fixtures and fittings that everybody's making for scope, mounts, for, you know, you can even put on iron sights. You take the iron sights off and you can turn around and put iron sights right back on it. But the thing is that there is there even replacement carry handles. So you can put a carry handle on it if you want to and stick with the iron sights. And by the way, those carry handles are even drilled, so they'll take the older style AR-15 scope mounts. Which, remember there's a notch, you have like a V on the top of the old style carry handle, the A1. And then there's a hole in the middle. Well, they're actually still making, everybody's got them out there, pretty cheap actually, about three to six dollars will get you a standard carry handle scope mount. And if I were you and you have an AR-15 like that, buy one. Once again, it gives you a potential to switch out and use other people's equipment you may capture on the battlefield. Maybe a little hint. It's generally a thumb screw underneath, a single stud down that fits into the top of the handle. There's a rail on top, might be 7-8ths, might be 1-inch, 1-inch being standard military. Some call it a picatinny. Try to get a see-through. If you get a see-through, You're seeing through and you can use your iron sight. Exactly. And by the way, again, $3 to $6, $7 for those. And the see-throughs are about $5. They're worth every penny. I'm sorry to interrupt Mark. No, no, that's okay. The thing is that the A2s take the same fixture. So if you want to add without changing anything, which obviously you're going to have to if you have the earlier A1 or A2 configuration, there you go. It would be A3s and that's really what a lot of the companies are offering right now and it is where everybody has leaned towards. If that's what you've got to go with then remember an additional cost is going to be in two categories. Number one, another rear iron sight of some kind. I don't care how cheap it is. If nothing else that's a backup because typically if you're getting a flat mount you're going to put an optic of some kind on it. I like to put mid-power scopes on the ARs but you'll notice in a lot of the videos and see people say, well those are grossly overpowered because we got 20 power and 22 power scopes on the ARs. You want to shoot buttons? Yeah, and you will. Especially with a 20 inch barrel, guys. A 20 inch bull barrel and a matched scope. And again, if you're closer, we just aim, in fact, many of the scopes that were available here for a bit and they started to produce them again, have a V notch like a Smith & Wesson M10 kind of police site on the roof of the scope. What that's for is that if you're in a quick situation where you have to, you know, a closer target, guys you just rail right over the top of the scope and you put them right in the notch and boom. So in other words, it makes it a close in combat site. Very simple. That's a solution. In fact, you can even make that if you wish to because and just to qualify this on the old Smith and Wesson police model 10s, they didn't even put a notch sight in it. You'll run into a lot of these. We've got hundreds of these we bought for the militia because we used to get them for $75 to $100 apiece. There were cop guns or there were Smith guns built with cop pattern frames. That notch is simply an unadjustable groove. And all you do is put that front blade right in that groove, line up the roof of the revolver with the front blade and boom! And it's just that fast. Boom! That's all it is. Boom! And you're basically into the center kill zone with everything at intermediate short range. With the AR-15 where people are worried about, well they could be closer. Well, if it's close close, then you aim over the scope. Whatever siting system you put on, this also allows you, whatever optic for daylight, this allows you to put on what Don has on the shelf. And right now Don's had a price positive situation take place and that's why I'm leading up to this. These A3s, you want to get a complete separate mount for your night vision technology if required. Because, night vision potential, the ability for us to put more eyeballs on the ground with crosshairs on our enemies is going to be a big, big plus. First of all, we're not running around in sandals. We've not had all of our moms and dads and all of our uncles killed by our aggressor yet, which is what happened overseas. We're fighting kids that have no training time, guys. When you look at what we did in Iraq, basically the Israeli whores told us to go kill the Iraqi moms and dads. The kids were fighting right now. We've been there for a generation. Where would they be training to actually get range time? So don't puff up considering that they're doing what they're doing under the worst of conditions. They're still putting up the fight. Now, we aren't in that situation yet, so we have the ability to develop skills, and especially right up until when the bullets start flying here, perfecting skills that creates a much higher platform of performance. You're going right in the directions. Mark, it's like you read minds. It's the most critical issue right now and night vision technology means that unlike spray and pray, we're going to be able to dot the I and cross the T right back at them. They think it's going to be all lopsided. That's all BS. We aren't running around in sandals and we've had a lifetime worth of getting ready to, or either we've already done it or every a lot of people have been getting ready for well here it comes dealing with this problem so we have virtually decades of experience and i don't care how anybody flaps their yap or opens their mouth put a put a fist in it well what are you gonna do it not that's what i'm gonna do with it and why see them is going to be the same thing you stinking turd That's the kicker about this thing. It's like I am not that poor little sandal carrying kid over there who you've already wiped out all of his family and you're puffing up about how you're doing such a great job. Sorry. in iraq or if you know we're killing the two the christians and syria and of course now we're shoveling the end of the world we're shoveling all the weapons to them because the israelis have shown all the boy porno pictures to blackmail all these idiots in congress and all the other stuff they've you know they got for blackmail leverage they've all been blackmail now so now we're going to shovel equipment to the christian killing syrian not israeli back syrian not parasite out l ciada and we're going to be puffed up about it well they're going to be a bit anxious and training to so they're going to kill back and i could go without a fight in fact i'm going to down if they do it right but they better focus on the idea kill every one of them now you're in the same situation when you make contact the more you hit misses don't count i don't want to hear a rattle battle with everybody boston round downrange it's a waste of resources we got more of them to kill You want to scare your enemy? Here's what they're doing. What you're doing is... Next target. Oh, that one just plain died. And if everybody is doing that and there's not this panic rattle battle from our side but they're just buzzing rounds because they just got lots of mags. We do too. Every once in a while, oh look there's a bunch of them in an exposed position where I've got them all in my line, mine and my sights. Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum If I come around a corner and there's a whole bunch of them with their arse sticking out in the breeze and there's one looking around the corner down the other block there and he's looking around the corner and there's two behind him and three behind him and six behind them and they're all cluster screwed up. That's what that magazine is for. How many pictures? Go to YouTube, watch the videos. How many pictures have you seen of these fools all cluster screwed up? We're all told we're supposed to spread out. You got this big pile and you're thinking, man, if I were there, or be on the other side of that street on that second floor in one thirty round mag in a full auto weapon because that's where it counts annually right for their feet and what you're going to get everybody you're not going to kill them all but you just made six seven eight ten casualties if you had a grenade first thing that goes is the grenade while you're going to go over the road And then you leave. You run. The moment that mag's empty, you're running and you're smiling. You want to know why? Because that grenade's going off right now. Yep, and your sights already showed you that there's body parts, brains, leg blood, arm blood, torso blood. I don't care what kind of blood it is, but you got them all. And then you're gone. That's what your magazine is for. Even in semi-autotress me with the adrenaline rush, you won't even know where the hell 30 rounds went. My gun was going to be so quick. Yeah, what about three seconds? Okay, three to four seconds you'd be amazed whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa They're all going to receive hits. That's right. That's the key. Hit them. Go ahead Don, because this is really this is especially critical guys night or day. We are going to generate mass casualties against that enemy and it's hunting season with equal opportunity dying time and we're going to deliver. Well on top of that flat top or on top of that carry I was discussing this with someone I was talking about this with someone earlier today. You put a first, second, third generation on top of that key handle. Basically what it is kind of like is a key handle adapter that thumb screws into your carry handle. Now it makes it a little more awkward to carry because now you've got a little bit of threading and whatnot down there. But hey, you don't carry your gun by that handle a whole lot, do you? It's not a real ready position, is it? With that in mind, look for, again, a see-through. But first, second, or third, fourth generational thumb screw right onto that, you guys. When you Tuck, you might want to take and sometimes they'll lay right down in there and depending on the manufacturer and sometimes, well, you might want to touch it with the file to where it sets the same place all the time. And then you can take that night vision off with the thumb screw in under the T handle, not the thumb screw at the rails. And you're going to be really close to that, oh, the mythical, oh, what is it? You know, the repeatable zero. Take the device off put the device on and you still have a zero You've got a long channel there almost like a machinist rest in the top of that handle. Don't you and if you? some of those Adapters some of those rails, you know that are gonna thumb screw into the T handle are gonna fit it perfectly some of them if they rattle around a little bit well You might want to leave that one there and look a little bit farther down at the gun show But again, first, second, third, we can put something on there. I don't know if we're going to do music at the bottom of the hour or what, but Mark, you've led to all the places where I wanted to go. Just to get this out of the way, you guys, if you're looking for night vision on top of that gun or night vision on top of your AR-10, we can do that. Even with a first generation piece now, my number is 231-796-8458. Let's go over to some real basics here you guys because these are what we build on. And you don't have to run off and get your handgun right now but this is easiest done with a handgun what I'd like to do now. Sometimes we'll say well you know living in the audio world it's hard to get some visual things done but we need to address visual things. Next time you've got your handgun out, well, you know, if you're standing at the range, it's pointed down range and it's all safe and everything right, or empty it, you know, make sure it's empty in the magazine and in the barrel, you know, the chamber. Close that slide so it feels like it, you know, is natural to you. You could even put the magazine back in full, just don't chamber one. You know, we're talking on the edges of safety here, but, you know, a lot of times you're going to be walking around with a loaded gun. So we've kind of got past that, right? We can all agree on that. Now I want you to look at a window and bring the gun up in your natural hand. Most of you are going to be right handed. And look at the gun with both eyes and try to aim at like a tree or something in that twig or the bird. Whatever! I don't know what you're seeing through your window. I hope it's not the sheriff's house. At any rate, what I'm trying to do for you is show you a bright profile against your blade and notch, and now you're looking at it with both eyes. I said that right up front, didn't I? But you're trying to aim to one thing out there in the distance, a good long way, 50, 100 yards away. Now close your right eye, close your left eye. Which eye do you have that really truly still has aim of the gun? That's your dominant eye. Now there are other ways to get there. You can hold a circle out and make a circle with your, this isn't as much fun, and it's not near as demonstrative as what I'm trying to do right now, what we're trying to do for you. For you. Hold that circle out, make a like the okay sign as far as you can hold it away and look at your neighbor's door at the other end of the block and try to center it right in that circle and close one eye and close the other and which one still has that neighbor's door in the circle and that's your dominant eye. But it's not as much fun and it's not near as precise as looking down that notch and blade is it? But now when you bring your hand gun up and you've got both eyes open that dominant eye is the eye that you're taking aim with File that write that down. We're going to come back to that in a little while Let's go to a different completely different circumstance and mark the analogy here will run up with that 12 year old Let's change it over to a secretary And she's just learning how to type, but man, she gets the job and the really good, it's like best secretary job ever. But she's on that keyboard 40 hours a day and she's demanded to do the right thing 40 hours a day. And she, did I mention, she's just learning how to type. But you know what, odds are she might not keep that job because again, it demands the best and it pays the best. But if she could keep that job 40 hours a week for about, oh, two and a half years, Guess what? She's got like 10,000 hours at that keyboard. Now that's mastery. You guys, if you go into Tae Kwon Do, karate, no matter what of the subsets be it, you know, I don't even want to talk. If you go, 10,000 hours is like if you don't have your black belt by 10,000 hours, if you don't have, you know, your second or third degree black belt by 10,000 hours of study, you're not doing something right. or you're obviously not gaining but almost everybody does. This goes back over to the 30 days in boot camp but this is so much more raw, the 30 days in boot camp because let's illustrate that. When you buy a piece of night vision from me, I encourage you, and I've done this on the air and I've done this on the telephone, to take it out every night. Try to take it out every night for 30 days and try to take it out in the same time frame. Like if you get out there at 10 o'clock at night or 5 o'clock in the morning, try to do it at the same time because then you'll see the moon cycle too. But the other thing you're doing is much like boot camp. You're getting that in that 30-day cycle you've kind of shuffled it into your subconscious and you're thinking about it even when you're not thinking about it's like swimming or it's like walking or riding a bicycle and these are most base things but when you move them into 30 days worth the government says after 30 or 60 days we'll send you into combat but now that's a Far far stretch even if let's do the math I don't even want to do the math, but if you're 24 hours a day for 30 days and never sleep, you're still not approaching that 10,000 hours of mastery, are you? But let's... You wonder why... It seems like Don's just putting all these examples on the table, but let's wrap this one up, you guys. Didn't take long to get here, but when you find that dominant eye... We've described how to get there. With your handgun, that's more fun than the circle at your arm's length, looking at something far away. Close one eye and close the other and find out which eye still has the image that you were looking at in the center. That's your dominant eye. That's probably the eye that you shoot with open eyes as example. Most people, wow, look what we've just discovered. When you bring your hand gun up and you've got two eyes open and you're lining up on one eye or the other, you guys, most right-handed people line up on their left eye. Most left-handed people line up on their right eye. This is a basic truism. There are some human oddities that line up the other way. It's just wired that way. But what I'd ask you to do, this goes back over to putting up a Even a broomstick at the range, straight up it, and now you're at your shooting position. It would be better with a 2x4, it would be better with a sheet of plywood, 90 degrees to the down range. So it appears as if you're standing behind a wall. Now you take your handgun and you shoot from one side of the wall. And you take your handgun or your long gun and you shoot from the other side of the wall. What do you mean? You know, you shoot left handed and you shoot right handed. because you don't want to shoot right handed off of your right shoulder from the left wall, do you? Well, there are people that would want to do this, but they would be moving their whole body out into the arena. You know, the arena where bullets are flying in order to bring their gun to bear on a target they haven't even seen yet. So with that in mind, you want, let's scrub that, let's forget about that 10,000 hours. to gain mastery of something because there are shorter ways to get there. You know, when you invoke thought, the same thought, into both sides of your brain, wonderful things happen. I cannot begin to describe them, but it is as if enlightenment of the light bulb goes off or, you know, things get easier or whatnot. You guys, this is a basic truism. This is psychology 101 and all of this and that. This is how we are wired. I would ask you, Mark's nodding, because this is true you guys, if you shoot right handed, you bring your shoulder, your long gun up to your right shoulder all the time, and you're leaning around that barricade at your range that we've described moments ago. start shooting from your left hand all the time. Yes. Start shooting from your left. You know how to shoot from your right hand. Start shooting from your left hand all the time. Every time you go to the range, bring your opposite eye to your sights. It's going to be awkward as all get out for a little while. But when you start to become familiar with it, you're lighting up both sides of your brain, you guys, shooting. You're invoking the whole of what what does that you say mark that most complicated most sophisticated battlefield computer on the planet that gray net of between your ears and If you want to become more proficient at shooting this is one way to get there faster almost twice as fast and if you're not doing this for students for people that you are training to shoot you're sorely lacking and in making them the best they can as fast as they can because we cannot afford to be that girl at the typewriter who doesn't know how to type but this is her big chance. This is her shot at $40,000 a year because she's in the big pool now and she's swimming with the sharks. Only we're not talking about typewriters. And we're talking about bullets flying. We're talking about that animated arena where you'd better invoke both sides of your brain because if you don't, someone might remove one side for you. I hate to be so rude and raw, Mark, but this is a basic truism. When you're teaching your boy how to shoot and he's right-handed, he's gonna bring that gun up to the right shoulder, ain't he? Just like all of you do. I'm left-handed, but just like all of y'all do. It's awkward for me on to this day to shoot right handed, but I can and I'm getting better at it Not like I don't shoot right handed like I do left and I we want to strive to get better at everything we do and this is one of the most basic things because if you're standing if you're right handed and we've described this before imagine the intersection for concrete corners and Your squad is walking up on both sides of the wall because you're you know staying close to cover And as example, looking into that intersection, you start to take fire from beyond the intersection, the right window's up there, two floors up, or the whole wind, that whole wall starts lighting up, and you're looking at the guys over here on the other wall, they're running to you because you're on the right side of your alley. Now you have cover, right? And you're right-handed, aren't you? Are you gonna stand out there in the road, or are you just gonna peek that little bit of your gun and your left eyeball out there? See how that works? You want to present the minimum target opportunity to your opponent while you gain target on him. And you can't just bloop your head around a wall and shoot and expect to hit something, can you? So I hope that you try this and I hope that you work at this. And I pray that you do because then you'll be lighting up both sides of your brain. And man, shooting will become easier. Shooting will become more fun because you've invoked the whole of your brain and you'll... Shooting will become something that becomes second nature like swimming or walking or riding your bicycle. Thank you, Mark. Most important is again there are people are you all you don't need to you know worry about left and right hand shooting You're just gonna slip around. I'll make you dead one day on the battlefield Yeah, you're my enemy thinking that way I will kill you at the very least Let's put it this way losing an elbow or the lower part of your rib cage is really embarrassing You all know what I mean? It's bad enough when you know whatever you expose. Minimal exposure is the rule with all contact. If any exposure at all. Remember I'm using those corners or shooting around those corners as part of a mobility action. If I'm in a fixed position I'm going to step back into cover guys. I'm going to create channels of control. That 50 cal that Don has. we're talking about using or any bolt gun anything you've got some of the guys are talking about their nay got some of the in the chat room Well, here again, I won't even expose the muscle of the weapon. I'll bring it back into the room. Am I going to have to suffer with some interior noise? Well, if you've got to put some earplugs in real quick, it'd be a good idea to have a set around your neck for that reason, just to cover up the ears so that you can hear after that first kaboom. Okay? But if you already know you're going to be engaging, you won't need to hear any more other than point of contact, fire, boom. Point of contact, fire, boom. Then change locations, if not with the first round. Changing locations. already knowing where your second channel shot's gonna be. If you're firing around a corner, left or right handed, the most important thing is we're not just gonna blaze away anyway. The objective is that first of all, if I'm undetected especially when I'm moving into an area, if I bring that weapon around the corner, I'm going to minimize my exposure. I'm going to put a bullet on target. Now I may be providing support fire. If I'm providing suppression fire, then I am going to swing that weapon around and do a two, three or five round burst, even with some of my auto. I don't need a full auto weapon to do this. And the purpose behind that suppression fire is because the other guy I told you about that stepped back into the shadows, well, you're going to suppress and he's going to put a bullet in you. Hey, might I underscore the previous thought line and what Mark's trying to say here? Write your name. Sit down and write your name. Pick up your pen and your right hand. Almost exactly all of you. I don't know if a few of us are left-handed. Write your name down on a piece of paper with your right hand. You done? Put the pen in the other hand and try to write your name. Now, I do that to point out how sorely lacking we are in using both sides of our body and both sides of our brain. Enough said. Exactly. And one of the most important things here again is with the skills that we're perfecting, reinforce, reinforce, reinforce. There's an excellent video that Houtari did to show you some cheap improvisation systems. for structural or urban warfare or defense in depth in constructed areas. Do you have pallets in your area? You know pallets, basically the standard pallet is a 2x4 depth from the top board to the bottom slat board. You take pieces of 2x4 off of the construction sites that are being chopped and lopped and thrown off into the dumpsters. And you take those pallets and you can make corridors, you can make hallways, you can make rooms. And minimal construction, but the idea is you can start to practice motion and again, use of arms to include support, unsupported, firing around corners, firing from the edge of buildings, etc., or from obstacles or obstructions. The idea behind this is that you will practice and have a physical a barrier to use or the actual physical object. Now these can be knocked down and changed whenever you want to guys. All you do is take the 2x4, beat it down between the two pallets and that locks that wall together. You want to use a few nails to create a corner if you want to depending on how your pallets are set up. Not a big deal there. And you've got a square. You're starting to build a box. You can put rooms, entranceways, you can put archways, you can even use overhead. If you make a pallet corridor, you can even put overhead pallets in place and secure them. And lo and behold, you've got yourself a true conventional hallway or alleyway or whatever you want to perceive it as. Now these are tricks of the trade that we need to practice over and over and over again to include friend and foe targets on top of everything else. remember that you may have to shoot past a friendly would be a bad idea to put a friend you know friend silhouette out there in terms of a and we like to use actual uh... dummies weekly actually create uniform wearing silhouettes don't shoot that girl at the typewriter exactly where and we're focusing on the bad guy that's there the uh... the other critter we are people in our uniform with the you know the basic uniform again you can by cheap stuff from the retail shop o d green whatever you want and uh... make up the targets of that they're in place and you move them not just leave with the same place over and over again this is the most important thing make them uh... geometry variable i can move it from one place next in fact even when you come through a second time to shoot the same cycle the job of the teacher is to challenge the student So, before the next relay goes back through to practice what they just did, move everything. Because I guarantee when they come through, do you know what you're going to watch on your student's face or you'll see it in the way of a body language response? When they come through, they think they know what to expect and things have changed. People don't stand and wait to be shot. That's right. After you get the first one in, you're going to be working on a moving target. Get my drift. If you don't do it right... You're throwing the typewriter at you. Yeah. I got him for the Royal. Yep. What's that sticking to your head? Ah, there's a couple of keypads from a Royal manual. Oh, that had to hurt. Well, it came from above. You don't see many of them anymore. That's right. Well, anyway, that's the ones we had to hide were the Royals from the government because the manual Royal typewriters had to all be confiscated, don't you know, guys? Seriously, that's back in the day. We had to hide our 25, 30 year old royal typewriters because we couldn't have them. You know, they didn't run with electricity. So then we could keep doing our job. Oops! Anyway, let's not forget something else, and thank you for the Royal type of thing, because it brings another point home here. Chances are I didn't throw it at you. Chances are I dropped it on you from the second floor or third floor. So the other part about this that you can especially do with, and this is where Airsoft comes in also, guys, for close-in training nowadays. Guys, you can do constant urban warfare training. And with Airsoft, especially the more expensive Airsoft, because you've got repeat fire the way you normally should, and your AR-15 knockoffs and your M1A knockoffs have limiting magazines. So you can actually practice three-dimensional shooting. Because remember, it isn't just across from you, it's not just left and right. You better be looking up, and you better be looking down. So if you're in the especially in a combat flexible situation, one of the cool things step one is to get everybody used to doing that, you know, again, box house arrangement. But the next step is to actually incorporate targets that are above and targets that are low, very low. And understand that everybody else's school is teaching people how to do that. They're teaching everybody to get low, they're teaching everybody to get out of the line of fire. Granted, body armor is supposed to puff them up and make them feel opposing themselves. But that's a good thing for you because again if you focus on where to place that round they can wear all the body armor they want. They're still growing in the hip area and they're going not to walk very far. And the more of those you create the more people they have to drag to the rear or they have to try and drag to the rear while you're busy shooting the ones trying to drag them to the rear and I won't hesitate to do that because they wouldn't hesitate to do it to you. That's one of the things you got to get out of your mind. Well, we got to be fair. No, we're not fair. It fares out the door here when this war starts They're laughing about how they're gonna kick in your door and beat you in your house. You're doing it right now And they're only coming at you with half a brain. Yeah, so again everybody What tit for tat only in spades you do it to him worse you give him nothing you don't let any of them get away See the difference between the Battle of Waco that first day The Battle of Waco the first day none of them would escape now none How to put every weapon, anybody that was still breathing. I know we have casualties. Remember the basic rule first is the best medicine to keep your people, your casualties alive is for everybody to keep fighting. Because if you can't get to your wounded and deal with them and if you've taken people out of the fight and you're busy tending to wounded, other than immediate action guys, you have to keep everybody in the fight and continue to maintain supremacy and firepower. Always remember that. That is the most critical thing to understand. Best medicine, because if you fail to sustain, once you have initiated a supremacy situation, if you do not sustain that momentum, your enemy may gain the ground and your wounded will be killed with you. You see how that works? And that is a reality. Your enemy is, there are people that burn churches, rape children in front of their parents. Remember the enemy you're facing. And this isn't something we need to make up. Abu grave Waco and all the other actions we've seen remember them they didn't hesitate to spray right into the building you've got all kinds of videos where they're so proud about about about about remember those scenes where they're hiding behind the cars where they said they were taking intense fire well when they're standing there in front of around those cars you see glass spraying off of those windshields In reality, they were lying through their teeth, but sadly enough, I wish that Branch Davidians had been better prepared and ready for it with the moment that they pulled the trigger because the bat faggots pulled the trigger first. Now, we all know better. There's nobody here that's going to get caught flat-footed on this. The important thing is engage and do not break contact continue to engage until they are nothing but their corpses on the ground they try to get to the vehicles kill them there they try to go cross-country kill them there they try to hide kill them where they hide but don't let him get away I'm surrendering I'm surrendering that was about 20 minutes ago you shouldn't been here in the first place so bop bop goodbye although again you could just say really okay we'll throw the weapons out stand up Pick wherever you want to put the bullet and finish them that way. That way you don't mess up that pretty uniform. Or, I'm stripping off the uniform off and gear off and then shoot them. I don't care. Why? Because if they get you, do you think you're going to survive what they're going to do to you? If you let them, if you reversed around, they would be bragging, laughing, spitting on you, kicking you, beating you multiple times. And when they got you back to wherever they were going to take you, what do you think they're going to do to you there? So everybody goes, oh no, but they want to surrender. Yeah, right. They came out all puffed up. They were evading army and they were going to kill. Then all of a sudden they get their butts wiped out and it's like, oh, oh, oh, you've got to be fair. Yeah, fair is how it works this way. It shouldn't have shown up for this port. Congratulations, you're dead. And only a rumor of their destruction should be allowed to return to wherever they came from, except that the one few you do keep alive for a bit will tell you who sent them. and you give them no peace where they came from. That's the other part of the battle. That's where mobility, that's where again, you're going to be eventually working in offensive mode. This is where the points that Dom brought forward are especially critical. You cannot be flagrant. You still have to maintain your proficient discipline in the art of battle. Okay? Every boxer knows that he has a strong side, but every boxer will deny it. Unless they're just dumb, I've got this right hand and as soon as I hit him with my right hand, he's gonna fall down, George. Watch me hit the rabbit. But every boxer, every martial artist will tell you he's got a strong side. Left side, right side. But they'll, in the next breath, tell you, I'm working on my weak side or they'll deny it completely. It's oxymoron. It is something that is, it is something that can be fatal if you ignore it. Yep. Just look. I don't care if it's for all you men, you're the favorite subject of women, the fact that they have two of those large life-supporting mammary glands, you might know that one is a little bigger than the other, or if it's arm muscles or leg muscles. It is the nature of, again, while we have symmetry, we also typically develop things based upon you, skies. And, despite how we look at it, one side of the brain or the other is dominant and is going to accordingly operate the system. This, in turn, develops a process of natural maturing of the muscles or a development of both the muscles and the nervous system with how it is able to interact. We have to overcome the mind. Think about this. If you're a right-hand shooter and you want to talk about being a lefty, that right-hand side of the body still desperately wants to take over. Yeah, yeah. And vice versa. If you're a lefty, it's tough for lefties. I know how it is. That's why it's cool. Here's one of the things I will point out. The Army used to tell everybody that, and it's true, it is true, guys, everybody's a right-handed shooter in the U.S. Army. That's monstrous, but it's true. that charging handle on the grand ever choose to notice it in making the left-handed grand skies they didn't make any left-handed car beans did they they didn't make you know i don't know if you know where you folder that you know i and i can offer spring fields now i will point out something that you will see accurately depicted that the idea that even if you were carrying a bolt gun a lot of men learn to use the weapon left-handed There is a whole process to that where you reach over. Typically you reach over with the left hand and operate manually the action as you are working. When you are working a left handed shot, pay attention to that. Some people have been very accurate at demonstrating what is a military proficiency skill that has to a degree been lost. You need to work at that. Now you do not have to fire the weapon but you need to practice that. A lot of our guys are talking about the nagat here in the chat room. I want you to experiment with that because the objective behind using a bolt gun left-handed is that you want to get used to actually moving the shoulder a little bit and reaching through and bringing the weapon into cycle without moving the weapon any farther than is absolutely necessary. You don't want to try to bring that weapon from the shoulder. There's a couple of reasons for that, although no matter how you look at it with manual guns, you're going to change the impact point of rest. Remember we talked about this many times with accuracy. When you fire a weapon, your first round with a gas-operated gun is your stringer round. Just like it is with your handgun when you're firing a handgun and you're firing a string of shots. The reason is your muscles have not been compressed. The weapon has not set to what is your natural shooting station. Now each time when you fire a manual gun, you to a degree and that is moving muscles etcetera. So, but the counterbalance is the closed system is more accurate in general anyway. So, you're able to press, bring the weapon to bear and there's a, again, that niche, that groove that is a shooter you know. Okay, we're all familiar with everybody that shot rifle for any period of time. I don't care if it's 22s I don't care if it's a 30 out six with a high power scope if you're hunting Bambi Or if you're shooting mule deer across the valley you all know where it is you feel it. It's natural it becomes just instinctual Okay, so that's gonna happen, but remember that left shooter that left improvised with the bolt gun That's where you need to practice more. And again, the 91s, the K98 Mausers, your 1903 Springfields, your 1979 Enfields, and by the way, somebody in the chat room mentioned the Enfield rifle. I will remind everybody that the Enfield and the Model 1917 cocked on the closing stroke, so the piston thrust of the arm is different with the way that you push and press the weapon to service, guys. With a lefty, the left-handed position, you need to practice that. The nagots, you know, cock on the opening stroke. Springfield's also mouser. So the thing is, no matter which way you go, that natural up thrust is where all of the physical action of the bolt is taking place. with the Enfield and with the Model 1917 Enfields, remember it's on the closing thrust. And if you're firing left-handed, that creates a unique and different experience that you need to take into consideration mathematically. Okay, it's metal, it's math, it is math, I'm sorry about that. People are like, Mark, you're talking about using the weapon and using your arms. It's still math. Always remember that. X amount of pounds or pressure needed to move the bolt. Even under a pound. X amount of ounces. And you're mind thinking the action is just like a drill sergeant. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. By the numbers! Okay, so that's how you're going to be. We think. Men think mathematically. Sorry guys, just what we always do. We don't think about it. It's like a nature. We are the people that we calculate no matter what we are doing. That is what our part of the planet does, our half of the population. Anyway, before we go any farther, we are almost to the top here. Night vision technology, you have it. People are going to be able to call you and get a hold of it. It is getting dark out there guys. It is going to be a lot darker, but it is going to be clear tonight. A lot of stars to help support that night vision. Well, what do you have down there and how can we get a hold of you, sir? Oh Mark, like three nights ago the stars seemed like pencil erasers in the sky. The sky was so clear. But if you want to look around at night, you guys, if you want to target, give me a call. My number is 231-796-8458. Goggles and gun sights, we've got green screens, we've got thermal, we've got starlight, we've got heat vision, you know, green screens and thermal to qualify that statement. We've got the $400 first generation gun sight, it's at $400 now. That's .308 capable, it'll live on top of your AR-10, your M1, your No problem there. Manufacturers say it will not fail from recoil. They will guarantee you it won't fail from recoil for two years. So not like the day after two years, but that's how confident they are in the device. If you want to talk about that or other pieces, you guys, there's a second generation gun sight just as capable to power. We had that talk earlier in the day, you guys. as far as not on the air, but as far as great magnification you're not going to see, you know, 32 power in night vision unless you're looking at something probably on a tank because the, well, the front lens would probably be a foot across, if not bigger. But now we're talking about green screen. The more lens you put in front of the image intensifier tube, what the device, the portion of the device that actually amplifies the light, the less light gets to the device. and we're talking about low levels of light to begin with. So this is why you don't see great amounts of magnification with a night vision device. You'll see some things that are hung in front of or behind, like daylight scopes, to get greater magnification. But I tell you that sometimes trying to do more than one thing at once instead of concentrating on one thing or focusing on one thing, no pun intended there with that word, but the jack-of-all-trades master of Nunn syndrome. If you want a gun sight, it would be best to buy a gun sight instead of to try to hobble one up. If need be, we can do that. We can put string across the front of a viewer and tape it to the gun if need be and then start to shim to find the point of impact and point of aim. But we aren't there yet. If you're looking for a gun sight or goggle or a piece of... I got a piece of thermal right in your mailbox for $5 less than $2,000. Handheld thermal. My number is 2317968458. was found hanging in his South Kensington home. Oh, I'm sorry, they supposedly committed suicide. Well, I think it was more like, you have failed me again, executive bankers. I trust that you will not fail me a second time. In fact, I know you won't. Hold still. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH But this was in like a 24 hour period over the last two days. What's the odds? Even to stretch it over 48 hours? You've got to ask yourself. One of them was Broik Schmidt who worked for Deutsche Bank and then came over to JP Morgan for seven years or whatever until 2008. Well, just because he retired doesn't mean he left the banking system, guys. That just means he's not up in management where you can see him. These are the characters that are still manipulating stuff or they're investing in stuff behind the scenes. The other character of course Gabriel McGee, a 39 year old JP Morgan bank executive died early this morning after he jumped 500 feet. from the top of the bank's European headquarters his body was discovered on a ninth floor roof which surrounds the 33 story Canary Wharf skyscraper. So in other words it makes for a coothful execution because you know everybody gets to see that well this is what happens when you think you're going to disclose information about our failures. i just didn't go by the window i don't want to have a better me remember five guys with a myself in the hallway and all of a sudden he's supposedly jump for the roof and i'm sure there's no c c e cameras up on the roof you know i mean that poor i mean yeah that poor banger the problem is the screen wasn't uh... it was i want to know you won't know or or even better Darn, I should have brought my golden parachute. That's right. Yeah, that just would have been the first thing to hit and it would have kept in a bowl. I think like a squishy thing where it splurps and then kind of settled down in the bottom like porridge. Chunks of bony, sticky, tendony porridge. So anyway, yeah, there's been a couple of them. There's more. There actually have been others that have been dying here and there. So it sounds like trying to make sure nobody shares, you know, like a warning or whatever. Something's coming. And, or, well, you guys are supposed to have all this done before we got here. Why didn't you finish this and you need to be punished? So, they're punishing. See, that's the other part of the problem, guys. We are at the top. You're going to hear the music here in a moment. If not, I've got to make some here, so I'm going to be ready for that. And I can do it. I can do this.
