So I’ve been gone from this channel for a while, can’t make vanlife videos when I’m in Iraq!
Here’s some training footage I spliced together with some music. Started with setting up the shooting scenarios and then deciding what we can practice during this individual range. Ammo is precious out here, so for a lot of these guys it was there first bursts with the PKM. The purpose of recording was exactly that, so we can reevaluate what happened and what each person needs to work on without wasting too many resources.
THE SCENARIO:
It started with memorizing 10 objects in 1 minute, then 10 burpees with our rack. Immediately following the burpees the timer would start and we would fire and move, taking 2 shots in any position at a target 200m away. Next, we sprinted 100m with the PKM to a wall where we threw a frag at a dead zone from the prone, and then combat crawled 5m to throw another frag into a “bunker”. Following that, we exploited the effective frag by pushing inside and firing at a target 2 times, theoretically inducing hydrostatic shock, and then followed with a speed reload to re-engage with a shot to the head or pelvis. Next was the PKM section where we ran back, picked up the PKM, and ran to a position to engage a target 200m away with grazing fire. After that, engaging a target 100m away with a 5 round burst in the prone. Lastly, sprinting back 120m where the time would stop when the PKM was set down. They would then recall the 10 memorized objects to test mental fatigue under stress, and afterwards we reviewed the footage.
Overall I’m proud of the guys, most of whom had never touched the PKM till 2 days prior.
