This is a blanket statement and doesn’t apply to all the GunTubers out there posting videos on the tube, but I just can’t help but notice how dorky, tacticool and theatrical some of these guys are.
I love the ones who shoot a few rounds into a static paper target and then “follow the target to the ground”. What a joke. So much theatrics there. Or the rampant use of timers. Everything is a timer. They say “ok we’re going to shoot this one cold” and then you see them getting all ready for that timer to beep. Shooting it cold is getting out of a car or doing some other task and then boom there’s a threat. Not standing on line waiting for a timer.
How about the guys that go out with their war belts and full kits? Like WTF are you doing? Unless you’re LE, some high end armed security, or military you’re not going to the grocery store with a war belt on. I understand the obsession with prepping, playing solider and planning for the end of the world, but running around in full kit with comms and an imaginary fire team aren’t what that scenario will look like. I think it’s fantastically stupid and one of the reasons we all get grouped together as gun nut idiots. The worst part is these guys are making money off people by promoting this stuff. Gotta love capitalism. I’m not hating on them for it, just thinks it’s super silly and ends up being unrealistic training.
Train for the environment you actually operate in. Live fire is for practicing shooting. Force on force is for practicing fighting. Take the theatrics out. Just my opinion.
