  Mark Koernke discussed weapons, ammunition, and tactical combat training on Weapons Wednesday. He analyzed German DAG plastic training rounds (4,400 fps, 11-grain projectiles) available from UN Ammo, explaining their utility for low-cost practice in confined spaces and their surprising lethality despite light weight. He covered threaded barrel options for 1911 pistols, subsonic load development for quiet weapons using heavy bullets at reduced velocities, and British SMLE conversions to .45 ACP. The latter half of the show focused extensively on small-unit combat tactics, including ambush positioning, bounding overwatch, cross-dominant shooting (training right-handed shooters to shoot left-handed and vice versa), and counter-attack procedures after taking a position. Koernke emphasized airsoft training for muscle memory development and stressed the principle 'train as you will fight.'
