@Ayawrxsti not necessarily. If you have an airsoft gun zeroed to a certain range, you're a lot faster at getting to the target than the dudes who walk their bbs onto target instead of using their sights. You may have to adjust for wind and range a bit, but it still works out decently
@Ayawrxsti This might be true for most people, but having properly zeroed optics, even for airsoft, is very nice to have. You learn pretty quick how your gear handles, even in airsoft. If you can't train to adapt in airsoft, you'll never make it to the real world SHTF. I've picked up and corrected several bad habits of mine because of airsoft, that I may not have picked up on otherwise. It's all about mentality
It depends on the whole setup and how you do it. I actually built an AR and an airsoft AR at the same time and made them as identical as possible, including 30 round mags for both. I just swap the rifle and mags on my gear out for the airsoft variant so that I'm changing as little as possible. It's not exactly cheap to do that, but it's definitely the most realistic training aid you can easily get. Even the cheap ones are still good for doing force on force.
Meh. Most of the thing you will see in an airsoft game won't ever replicate in a real case scenario. Airsoft can be a good training for many aspects (like coordination and protocols) but you can't compare the two things. Dynamic operational shooting is what your are searching for, obviously the costs of gun owning and operating are high.
When people think of airsoft they tend to think of skirmishing, people running around shooting at each other but there are actually a couple of major disciplines otherwise completely unrelated. The discipline that he's learned (Action Air) translates well onto real firearms because it follows exactly the same rules as its real firearm counterpart: IPSC. They're treated in the exact way under official IPSC rules - regardless of being Airsoft guns, it's irrelevant - you handle them the same way, you show clear the same way etc. In fact the airsoft training under Action Air is recognised as being so precise that in the UK (where handgun laws are of course especially tough on the mainland - though legal in NI) you can officially convert it (your certificate sign off) to live firearms for competing in Level 2 IPSC matches. That's how well it's regarded. That's really why the kid is so good, has a great attitude, and needed so little work comparatively.
I just love how the guy immediately takes his finger away from the trigger when the instructor starts putting his fingers too far down range to point. Realistically, there was no chance of hitting him, but the trigger discipline just seems ingrained in a way you don't see in people completely new to guns.
He's got his manual of arms on point, and his muscle memory is excellent. An he learned all of that watching RUclips videos. This is why I have much respect for the guys at T.Rex, they extend their (small, pun intended) arms to a niche group of people and help normalize training one's self and prevent snobs from affecting people's opinions.
@@boyl.8251 Yes, some airsoft guns mechanic's are almost identical to real fire arms except for the thing they're firing, this guy was a John Wick before he even had his hands on a real gun, game over now. Lmao
If you play airsoft in a dusty/muddy enviroment the dust cover better be closed because dirt sometimes gets into a little spin control wheel that goes in there and sometimes gets locked.
There's this humble guy practicing in country without the same privilege and then there's the ND tacticool clowns. It's sheer madness for both to be classified in the same category. How do we prevent people from abusing these rights?
I play airsoft and transitioned to real firearms, my 2 cents, if you treat airsoft like a toy there will be almost no benefit in transitioning to real steel. But if you treat the airsoft gun as a training tool, you practice good weapons manipulation, proper safety protocols, then your transition to real firearms will be much smoother, like him my first time firing an m4 and it jammed, i knew instinctively how to clear it and recharge it, because my airsoft rifle worked the same way and i practiced safety, and proper weapons manipulation even when just playing
Same here I have an Airsoft MK18 profile gun amd while on my first time shooting I did really well for a newbie because I new how the weapon felt and how to grip it.
Some one once asked Jerry Miculek what his secret to fast and accurate shooting was. He responded go shoot about 200,000 rounds and it will come to you.
@@JamesonsTravels no offence but you fully admitted you never trained on a pistol. I bet this kid would out shoot you any day. He didn’t have any pro training before the video, learned all skills from RUclips. Picked up a gun and the same day was keeping up with firearms instructors. If u gave him a few days on his own he would have figured it out without any help
@@JamesonsTravelsI don't know guns at all, but how correct are his stances? Watching up to the part where the guy is saying "wall" his arm and shoulder positions look kind of weird, almost as if he's got his right foot forward while shooting with his right hand? i know you said you don't really know pistols, but I figure you've at least seen them being used before, right?
@@sebastianriquelme6314 China Japan both are same and people are forgetting how cruel Japan was during WW2 and how greedy Japanese Electronics companies were during 90s. If Japan is a different country then why they manufacture most of the products through China. These Asians are all the same. I hope RUclips or the admin of this channel won't delete my comment
Yup my hands are demolished. I had trigger finger tooo many times and now at 51 yrs old my hands cramp up, plus I groomed animals for work and that did a # on my hands ,steroid shots hurt I have to admit!!!
There's nothing like seeing a guy who could never own firearms in his country get taken to the ol USA and get to live the dream, i bet he had such a rush, happy for the kid
I've known quite a few Japanese airsofters/fans of milsim and I guarantee you they're no fans of the 2nd Amendment. They abhor the thought of civilians actually owning stuff like AR-15s, which they think should only belong to the military. They constantly make fun of Americans and the 2nd Amendment.
I love how T-Rex arms isn't trying to get rich off telling people they have to go take all these high speed classes. They give away plenty of free info, because they actually want people to learn. They are one of few on RUclips,& in the firearms community that can't be bought.
And if you reach out to them, they’re quick to reply-even with info that isn’t necessarily profitable to them. Decent men doing honest work. Commendable.
Draw, grip, target acquisition, first shot, transitions are all trainable with a airsoft pistol. Pretty much everything accept trigger and recoil control.
@Sanuk Jang Lery That's why I love gas blowback guns. They're about as close as you can get to the real thing. I killed the field marshal in a match with my 1911 held over my flat electric rifle. His face was priceless. Also the artificial recoil is at least three times as heavy as a .22LR. You're right about the noise. So many bolts snapping back and forth.
As an airsofter myself it makes me so damn happy to hear you talk with such respect over us. We’re literally just grown men who play with toy guns. It makes me feel like I have an actual skill... or at least something worth doing. Thank you so much even though you probably don’t even know what you’re doing for us in the community.... and thank you for your service sir.
You’re doing good man. Weather it’s a toy gun or a wooden stick or an actual firearm, you guys are practicing not only the fundamentals of firearm manipulation and safety but also getting actual force on force training. You’re doing good man keep killing it
As an airsofter I'll say airsoft guns translate in close range so 0-60 feet. Any farther and the trajectory of the bb is too different from a real gun because bbs go up. Now in terms of weapons handling airsoft guns translate well but don't translate firearm safety as well. The triggers on an airsoft gun is much lighter
It comes down to the price, you can get airsoft guns that mimic the real thing even down to the trigger, they even have gas systems, Sig made some handguns for Coast Guard and Army that was the same as the real deal... Airsoft guns when used by military or law enforcement are not used for range practice, so the distance it can fire does not matter which is not as important as the lack of recoil anyways.
@@Kirinketsu_ It doesn't ever fire the same as a real gun. A spherical bb will never have the same trajectory as a bullet regardless of the price of the airsoft gun, the aerodynamics are simply too far removed. You'll never have recoil anywhere near an approximate of the real deal and recoil control is a huge component of shooting. I play airsoft, not like the guy in the video though, and 99% of players don't do anything like this guy does in terms of dry drills. Airsoft is fun, it's a poor training mechanism though, certainly no substitute for an actual firearm. Saying that if it gets people into shooting and practicing drills fair enough although as I said most airsoft players I know don't do any drills, myself included.
CF1001 I think you’re confusing air soft as a game with players and air soft as a training tool. Things like transitions and sight acquisition as well as several fundamentals of form all have a fair amount of crossover, ofc you will never get, recoil and bullet mechanics that are even close but as far as fundamentals air soft can be a good tool
Honestly have learned a lot from Lucas myself, and his stance on the 2nd and the way he stays in touch with the community, has inspired me. And it’s partly thanks to him I’ve been training harder so I can feel confident enough to eventually be an instructor myself. I think this climate is perfect of a time and it’s something I’m politically, and personally, passionate about.
About that political part.. I would love to get into airsoft but not only do I have no money but there is no airsoft field where I live ;( and people aren't allowed to host parties.
I found his understanding of how the firearm works and how well and how quickly he cleared malfunctions is amazing. Even when he started out with not so great recoil control, he handled the firearms with confidence.
The most amazing part of this video is how in less than an hour he went from borderline limp- wristing a 9mm to running rifle drills like a professional.
Yeah before I and after I started shooting handguns, I had a couple of green gas (propane) air-soft pistols and that really helps. They recoil fairly similarly to say a .22LR or slightly more depending on the power of the air-soft gun. It definitely helped with learning Recoil control on actual firearms.
I know that there are quite a few militaries who actually use airsoft for ther cqb training. its safe and you can see where you hit. Some other militaries also use paintball or even paint ammo with real guns, but they hurt like a bitch
It's a gap between training, practise on a range and shooting in a combat field. But muscle memory is the only thing you can rely on. Still, it's a good way to apprehend weaponry with airsoft guns that have same specifics as real ones.
The "bad habits" that you talked about was a huge issue for a few people in my basic training company in the army. We had a couple guys and one girl who said they fired all the time before joining the military and they had the hardest time shooting 40s (40/40 shots landed for those who arent familiar) because they couldnt break those habits.
I had been shooting rifles for over 10 years before I tried pistol shooting. I agree with you there about pistol shooting being harder as I had found it was so much harder than rifle shooting, especially air pistol silhouette events.
@@FourHorsemen-k2y even here in Austria steyr handguns are not very popular but they are actually very nice shooters maybe not as reliable as a glock tough
@@JamesonsTravels My Favorite Range pistol is my Beretta 92FS, I have had it since 2008 and I can't get over how smooth the action is on it. I also have large hands so the large frame works for me. I would definitely use the 92FS for open carry. For Concealed I currently use an FN503 (9mm), I was trying to buy the Sig365 but it was sold out when I went, I'm quite happy with the slim-sub compact, however I am thinking of switching to a compact instead, I don't like only having an 8 round magazine and having to carry a spare. The FN503 I will say has the SMOOTHEST trigger I've ever felt on any handgun, though my favorite is probably still my Father's 2007 Colt M1911 Gold Cup Trophy model. There is No slack at all in it. We had a Glock 19 a while back. I actually found I Don't like Glocks. Something about the way they shoot just feels too chunky to me, at least the earlier Gens from 2007-2010. I've fired a newer Glock recently when teaching a friend how to shoot and they seem better now in my opinion, but everyone has their preferences. Despite it not being mine, I usually Recommend Glocks to new shooters due to their reliability and how easy it is to find a decent one or even used one. The video is right though, practice is everything. I was going to carry a Ruger SR9 I was handed down, since it was smaller than my Beretta, but I absolutely hated the trigger on it ( I still don't like it). After practicing with it for 3 months straight I finally got to where I could shoot it almost as good as my Beretta. IT really is practice. Even if the gun doesn't just "click" with you, practice makes all the difference.
Ive actually watched the original version on this video. I was into airsoft for years, and it does have some benefit learning handling skills and so forth. My preferred duty weapon is my Glock 17 with 147gr jhp.....carry wise i carry a glock 43x with 124gr jhp. I love the glock triggers, not bad pull and has a very clear crsip reset that is easy to feel and even hear.
As a lover of all things guns, and not having nearly enough time or money to always hit the range, airsoft is a nice medium to keep sharp in. There's plenty of people out there who play airsoft just for airsoft, but taking the time to keeping rifles similar to my real ones, and playing airsoft to keep building good gun habits, from safety around others on the field, to trigger press and moving around cover. Train to a high standard and make sure you're building good habits.
Recoil is super easy to learn if you already know how to handle a gun. In the UK a lot of schools do CCF which is basically military indoctrination for kids. I did target shooting at CCF with an 5.56 L85 at 15 after a lifetime of air rifle and .22 shooting, the first shot surprised me but after that I got every other shot on target and I made the range master suspicious that I was a trained terrorist. When I was legally old enough to shoot a pistol at CCF, I shot some kind of sig and I did better than the range master who'd been in the royal marines for 20 years. Im not bragging, I just wanna drive home the point that knowing how to handle a weapon, even a simulated one like airsoft, will help you immensely.
I'm a former active duty Marine and avid shooter. I've been airsofting for over a year now. My draw, reloads, target transitions, and situational awareness has dramatically increased as a result. Good force-on-force training.
Literally have to agree. I went from airsoft to actual firearms and my experience in transition was extremely comfortable and it felt extremely natural like I knew how to unjam a round, reload, good muzzle discipline. Also my shooting down range at basic training felt much better than those around me.
@@bane4743 It's difficult not to play this card, but even as a 4x combat veteran, I found so much more lessons learned and training from airsoft than I ever received in the Corps. Glad to hear it's helped you as well. Cheers.
I watched this video before you made this reaction and even now, it still blows my mind how quick, how very well taught and disciplined he is in firearm safety despite being in Japan and quipped with airsoft. Love your reaction sir, nice to watch a second time with your opinion!
He trained his airsoft as if the guns were real. That's why the skills translate. I'd be curious to see dedicated pistol airsofters run some handguns, or the guys that use no stock SMGs on CQB fields handle the real life equivalent. The Subject (because I have no clue how to spell his name) has what I would call a passion for this sort of thing. The muscle memory of treating an airsoft rifle like a real rifle to learn the repetition of mag changes, malfunction clearing, hell he even closes the dust cover in the same motion as putting it on safe, literally textbook. And that's just handling the rifle, nevermind the skill to do all of that while also accurately putting rounds on target at an insane rate of fire. I hope that this kid does something with what he's got, especially because he clearly has the passion to invest the hours in it already.
@@IchigoKurosaki011 'cept not everyone utilizes them like that. This dude understands how the weapon functions as if it wasn't a reproduction - something that not every airsofter with a spec'd out fancy gas blowback realistic replica can claim.
Completely in agreement with you, I train security personnel and all the initial training in the handling of the weapon and then the improvement training in the technique is carried out with airsoft, and then I move to the real weapon in very easy, not to mention that there are many exercises that cannot be performed with a real weapon and if with airsoft, shooting an opponent and his response towards us, this exercise improves your reflexes, enlivens your senses, puts you more in a real situation.
I saw Jimi Hendrix sing and play with Mitch and Billy in Inglewood in 1970. He was literally glowing. I desperately wanted acid and could not find any. Jimi cured that habit real quick. I watched his hands, I could barely blink so enraptured was I by his movements, body and hands. He literally showed me everything that I needed to know, ever, to play guitar for 55 minutes. Training, indeed.
@@JamesonsTravels Australia even requires a licence for an air rifle or BB gun. I have never seen air soft here. Pistol crossbows are illegal and in my state a licence is required for a crossbow. I have seen all of these weapons sold over the counter in Communist China without a licence. Go figure.
No One most streamline video games get guns completely wrong. An example is Most games have the reload animation always pull back the charging handle all the time for the ar platform. The bolt catch exists for a reason, and don’t even get started on zeroing for sights
I’ve seen this before The guy is incredible. All he needs to conquer is recoil management. After 15 years focused on pistol marksmanship, I do dry practice (dry fire) and manipulations 10 to 1 to live ammo. Its my secret sauce that has taken me from good to great. That and purposeful training every session. A plan when I arrive at the range on what skills I want to work on, and doing something other than shooting the same old target at the same old distance. Great review. Thanks.
Same here in Brasil. Back in 2004 the government confiscated 90% of the legal guns in the country and the homicide rate went from 30k a year in 2003 to 60k in 2017. Now, Bolsonaro (wich is not a great president) have made little improvements on the gun laws and we're allowed to at least own a small variety of guns. Altough the carry permit is pretty hard to get, if you're going to the range or coming back from it, you can conceal carry your gun without problem.
Airsoft guns are mostly built the same as the real thing. Other than recoil, range of the projectile, and a couple of the internal parts being a bit different, I would find it hard to believe that anyone who knows their airsoft guns wouldn't be able to handle a live firearm. That Lucas guy is bit of a patronising asshole in the way he talks to the dude, can't expect much from someone who has probably never touched an airsoft gun in their life though.
I remember my drill sergeant saying the people who have zero weapon experience and listens to everything usually do better than the people who had experience.
Only true if people have been train in improper or just different techniques. It’s basically true with everything. It’s a lot easier to learn something fresh then to completely relearn something you thought you already know, especially when there’s so much muscle memory involved.
Been a long time since I was into airsoft, but it definitely gives you the basics; leading targets, being mindful of how much ammo you've expended, hand-eye coordination, etc.
Liku was like a super fan of lucas(the instructor) for years and would emulate all his videos in every way with airsoft guns he even copied the way he dressed for a while so him showing up in the plaid shirt is on purpose
Yeah, it's also a good way to put a round through your thigh, knee, or foot with a non manual safety weapon like a Glock. I've seen guys do it. I've almost done it. It's easy to do when stress is introduced.
Around the 20 minute mark of the original video, he even turns the safety on and off and closes the dust cover in between transitions and is still just as fast...🤯
My biggest concern of an airsoft to military combat transition would be the fear of a real round's damage. A lack of respect for a round's lagality can affect coverage value and pushing irresponsibly
Airsoft can be a good training tool to start with. I used them with my sons. I had the full metal ones that have the same weight as real firearms. I was able to teach them safety rules with it along with the discipline in controlling the weapon. Once we moved to real firearms, there was still more teaching due to the recoil of the rounds. From a safety aspect I believe they are a great tool to start off with teaching the basics, with less fear of someone getting seriously hurt.
On the listening part, there's a language barrier there. Liku's English back then wasn't as great. But! They spent a lot more time together than you see in the video. It was real wholesome watching all the buildups, teasers, and BTS stuff leading up to the video release. All smiles and good times. If I recall from some of the BTS stuff on instagram, Liku got a good chunk of his drills and fundamentals from the TREX arms channel itself? If not, well the main point is he's completely self-trained from video materials on youtube(just not from TREX Arms).
As a person living in a post-soviet country, the only gun I've had experience with is an AK74M(I think it was just a really accurate model of it) that we disassembled in school, that was the best thing I had to do at school
@@genewellnapata445 I´m in Slovak army, or officially in armed forces of Slovak republic, cause we dont have size of army by number of soldiers. And still that airsoft guy has shot more rounds than me in my carier. From that time i´ve been through one ridiculous shooting exercise with CZ P-09 gun. I´ve shot 6 magazines of 5 bullets i think. Not really a lot. At least we have fucking hell of paper work, thath saves our assess and the most important salary in our army is quite good compared to average cictizen, so it is still rentabile travel more than 200 kilometers daily for a work.
My shooting pistol is a Beretta M9, my favorite pistol is a Beretta M9, my carry pistol varies between the M9 or a HK USP .40. I prefer a double action pistol with a hammer. I also practice alot with ruger mk3 .22s or a walther ppks 22
Imo trigger discipline, stance/body position, and good habits could be learn very early with air gun sports. But, further practicing with real firearms is the way to gain, well, firearms experience.

@@daveramsey9194 it's like saying sitting in a stationary car making noises makes you a good driver....there's too many variables to take into consideration from dry firing to placement.
@@seanoneill991 in documentaries about the Blue Angels they show them go into a room and close their eyes while imagining their routine and talking to each other as if they were on the radio while pretending to move the stick and touch the cockpit switches. There is scientific evidence that deliberate planning with the imagination has some gains in muscle memory because you're developing neural pathways. Either way you don't need to imagine like in your strawman argument, gas and BBs are cheap.
There are two kinds of airsoft player. One dressing up like a soldier going out playing wargame. The other one is to go and train for airsoft ipsc. The ipsc one train like using real guns. And they are more like athletes and really really fast.
My whole team is the first player u mentioned. Then theres me ex athlete who started wit real firearms then got in airsoft for training purposes. Long story short im better than them haha
I enjoyed how the reviewer used logic to breakdown, that it should be an easy transition,due to the fact of his level of airsoft,once he understands recoil,weight of trigger pull.The kid was impressive,but as stated he's at the top of his world in airsoft.
I've always hated the RUclips format of some guy watching somebody else's videos but you actually bring something to the table, if not expert information, an enjoyable presence.
Dry firing has really helped me with getting used to my iron sights, snapping on to a piece of tape on the wall or doorknob or anything really, definitely recommend it.
As someone who has been taking classes the part that immediately impressed me was how quick he did the tap and rack when it didn't fire instead of just freeze.
I am already scared of loud sound how am I even supposed to hear a gun shot I prolly would be shacking by then lol Jamesons love to see how good your channel has been going heep working hard stay motivated sir 👌
Contacts are deafening and the force of incoming rounds can be palpable if they are larger calibre's. I completely understand why soldiers in WW1 suffered from shell shock. It must have been harrowing.
I don't know if anyone has brought this up. But when he fired with no round in the chamber. Noticed how he didn't flinch or move this hand in anticipation of a shot. That is crazy good. Like, that is the hardest thing to teach a person. To not jerk and make movements when pulling the trigger.
I liked the single action semi autos. The Browning HP had a magazine safety which made the trigger pull a lot heavier otherwise would have preferred it over a 1911. Never shot a Glock as I am skeptical about having the safety inside the trigger. My other weapon was a Model 19 S&W with a 4 inch barrel which I liked a lot. Double action for every shot, can't recall a shot in single action with that weapon. have not shot now for 20 years, in Australia civilians can only shoot at a gun club range.
itotally agree i have multiple hp's or gp's as they are caled back home,it was my professional sidearm for 28 years and i have 3 of them at home,two oldies like a renaisence model and a capitan,but for plinking its my praktical
@Pat Geren I am 70 I like them for the fact I don't have to look for the empties (cases). Reliable and you can customize your loads for target shooting and for IPSC. As for capacity ? Double tap 3 targets if you're up against 3 experts you're history anyway ;)
I can say that I played airsoft massively when I was 14-18 years old. I played almost every other day with spring, gas, and electric. The most accurate airsoft gun I shot was spring rifle with a heavy weight bb. Then when I got to basic training and shot a weapon for real I felt extremely comfortable. It felt natural.
Yep, fundamentals aside, having ZERO muscle memory for shooting a real gun aside, he very quickly adapted to the live fire setting. His manipulation, troubleshooting, and adaptation is what happens when you dry practice. Great job friend from over the pond.
Norwegian fire range leader here. Favorite pistol CZ Sp-01 Shadow, don't have weapon laws that open for personal use except from hunting, competition and training on range.
I’ve got an HK VP9 that Ive taken a huge liking to. It’s got a more consistent pull and a ton less mush than Glock triggers imo. Plus the adjustable grips and side panels make it so much more form fitting
@@Lagaholic Lucas has no real world experience, he's "self taught" He went to one 3 gun competition and placed dead last. Instructors are proven by either being high level competition shooters or by having real world (mil/LEO) experience. Being able to shoot fast at really close ranges with zero stress isnt credibility. He shouldnt be an instructor.
To be fair, Lucas teaches folks how to pull triggers better and that's it, how they apply it is up to them, in either a competition or tactical situation. Because at the end of the day, you are simply pulling a trigger. Just food for thought.
@@MLDRBRY He seems fine to me... lets be honest, you can be a good instructor without having been shot at or shot at somebody. That's fuckin retarded to say "YoU CaNt Be a GoOd iNsTruCtoR If YoU HaVe No RW ExpEriEnCe" He teaches good shooting fundamentals, has great ideas on how to improve shooting and accuracy and who tf cares if he dresses up like DELTA Force. He's a good shooter and teacher. Also, in regards to the 3 gun.. (taken from another comment) - " His raw time was 530 with a single 10 second penalty of hitting a no-shoot and no penalties for ANYTHING ELSE. He was not disqualified, and his score on the chart (searched it and investigated myself) should have put him at spot 29, a very very respectable showing. NO IDEA WHY HE WAS DISQUALIFIED."
Besides firearms manipulation, airsoft play is better for actual force on force training. Paper targets dont move or shoot back!
@Ayawrxsti not necessarily. If you have an airsoft gun zeroed to a certain range, you're a lot faster at getting to the target than the dudes who walk their bbs onto target instead of using their sights.
You may have to adjust for wind and range a bit, but it still works out decently
@Ayawrxsti
This might be true for most people, but having properly zeroed optics, even for airsoft, is very nice to have.
You learn pretty quick how your gear handles, even in airsoft. If you can't train to adapt in airsoft, you'll never make it to the real world SHTF.
I've picked up and corrected several bad habits of mine because of airsoft, that I may not have picked up on otherwise.
It's all about mentality
Depends on the type of airsoft gun. An AEG? not so much. A gas blowback? Absolutely.
It depends on the whole setup and how you do it. I actually built an AR and an airsoft AR at the same time and made them as identical as possible, including 30 round mags for both. I just swap the rifle and mags on my gear out for the airsoft variant so that I'm changing as little as possible. It's not exactly cheap to do that, but it's definitely the most realistic training aid you can easily get. Even the cheap ones are still good for doing force on force.

The Japanese guy came in with *ZERO* ego, even though I'm sure he's a boss at airsoft. That's commendable.
ego has never helped anyone in getting better at anything. especially as a beginner.
Most foreign people are humble. Its taught out of us as kids.

I just love how the guy immediately takes his finger away from the trigger when the instructor starts putting his fingers too far down range to point. Realistically, there was no chance of hitting him, but the trigger discipline just seems ingrained in a way you don't see in people completely new to guns.
The fact he can swap mags and properly check and fix stoppages with such speed is insanely impressive
Dude is even closing the dust cover as he's placing the rifle on safe.
His mechanics are very solid. And he’s incredibly teachable.
He's got his manual of arms on point, and his muscle memory is excellent.
An he learned all of that watching RUclips videos.
This is why I have much respect for the guys at T.Rex, they extend their (small, pun intended) arms to a niche group of people and help normalize training one's self and prevent snobs from affecting people's opinions.
Yup because airsoft safties are the exact same as real guns sometimes even more
@@boyl.8251 Yes, some airsoft guns mechanic's are almost identical to real fire arms except for the thing they're firing, this guy was a John Wick before he even had his hands on a real gun, game over now. Lmao
If you play airsoft in a dusty/muddy enviroment the dust cover better be closed because dirt sometimes gets into a little spin control wheel that goes in there and sometimes gets locked.

timestamp?
I play airsoft and transitioned to real firearms, my 2 cents, if you treat airsoft like a toy there will be almost no benefit in transitioning to real steel.
But if you treat the airsoft gun as a training tool, you practice good weapons manipulation, proper safety protocols, then your transition to real firearms will be much smoother,
like him my first time firing an m4 and it jammed, i knew instinctively how to clear it and recharge it, because my airsoft rifle worked the same way and i practiced safety, and proper weapons manipulation even when just playing
Same here I have an Airsoft MK18 profile gun amd while on my first time shooting I did really well for a newbie because I new how the weapon felt and how to grip it.
Really hate to be that guy, but buddy M4's are military rifle and cannot be owned by civilians. What you mean is an AR-15.
Hans ! Wrong. Colt makes a civilian model called m4 and Daniel Defense has the m4a1 just to name a few.
@@rajvardhan6072 M4 is just a military designation for an Ar15 platform rifle. It's selector switch has nothing to do with its designation either
This, this, and absolutely all of this.
Some one once asked Jerry Miculek what his secret to fast and accurate shooting was.
He responded go shoot about 200,000 rounds and it will come to you.
I can see that. However, good training makes good shooting. To many people focusing on the shooting before the training.
@@JamesonsTravels no offence but you fully admitted you never trained on a pistol. I bet this kid would out

I love how T-Rex arms isn't trying to get rich off telling people they have to go take all these high speed classes. They give away plenty of free info, because they actually want people to learn. They are one of few on RUclips,& in the firearms community that can't be bought.
And if you reach out to them, they’re quick to reply-even with info that isn’t necessarily profitable to them. Decent men doing honest work. Commendable.
It's because their trying to help people, especially when we mind aswell have people prepare while we managed to even still have our amendment
Not gonna lie airsoft is good exercise especially in fast pace games
Draw, grip, target acquisition, first shot, transitions are all trainable with a airsoft pistol. Pretty much everything accept trigger and recoil control.
Joe M yeah, even some clearing drills are similar depending on how accurate your air soft gun is
I agree.
@Sanuk Jang Lery That's why I love gas blowback guns. They're about as close as you can get to the real thing. I killed the field marshal in a match with my 1911 held over my flat electric rifle. His face was priceless.
Also the artificial recoil is at least three times as heavy as a .22LR. You're right about the noise. So many bolts snapping back and forth.
It’s quite less expensive too

As an airsofter myself it makes me so damn happy to hear you talk with such respect over us. We’re literally just grown men who play with toy guns. It makes me feel like I have an actual skill... or at least something worth doing. Thank you so much even though you probably don’t even know what you’re doing for us in the community.... and thank you for your service sir.
You’re doing good man. Weather it’s a toy gun or a wooden stick or an actual firearm, you guys are practicing not only the fundamentals of firearm manipulation and safety but also getting actual force on force training. You’re doing good man keep killing it
THX from Germany - SHD Airsoft Team Berlin
Hey brother thanks for making the intros short and always getting straight into the video. It’s a rare quality these days
As an airsofter I'll say airsoft guns translate in close range so 0-60 feet. Any farther and the trajectory of the bb is too different from a real gun because bbs go up. Now in terms of weapons handling airsoft guns translate well but don't translate firearm safety as well. The triggers on an airsoft gun is much lighter
It comes down to the price, you can get airsoft guns that mimic the real thing even down to the trigger, they even have gas systems, Sig made some handguns for Coast Guard and Army that was the same as the real deal... Airsoft guns when used by military or law enforcement are not used for range practice, so the distance it can fire does not matter which is not as important as the lack of recoil anyways.
@@Kirinketsu_ It doesn't ever fire the same as a real gun. A spherical bb will never have the same trajectory as a bullet regardless of the price of the airsoft gun, the aerodynamics are simply too far removed. You'll never have recoil anywhere near an approximate of the real deal and recoil control is a huge component of shooting. I play airsoft, not like the guy in the video though, and 99% of players don't do anything like this guy does in terms of dry drills. Airsoft is fun, it's a poor training mechanism though, certainly no substitute for an actual firearm. Saying that if it gets people into shooting and practicing drills fair enough although as I said most airsoft players I know don't do any drills, myself included.
Well said
CF1001 I think you’re confusing air soft as a game with players and air soft as a training tool. Things like transitions and sight acquisition as well as several fundamentals of form all have a fair amount of crossover, ofc you will never get, recoil and bullet mechanics that are even close but as far as fundamentals air soft can be a good tool
@@sparks6177 an airsoft replica has the same shape and form factor as a real gun so weapons handling should transfer but as I said safety does not
Honestly have learned a lot from Lucas myself, and his stance on the 2nd and the way he stays in touch with the community, has inspired me. And it’s partly thanks to him I’ve been training harder so I can feel confident enough to eventually be an instructor myself. I think this climate is perfect of a time and it’s something I’m politically, and personally, passionate about.
About that political part.. I would love to get into airsoft but not only do I have no money but there is no airsoft field where I live ;( and people aren't allowed to host parties.

You’d be surprised how much u can learn by just listening and thinking about what you are told
I found his understanding of how the firearm works and how well and how quickly he cleared malfunctions is amazing. Even when he started out with not so great recoil control, he handled the firearms with confidence.
He became a literal sharpshooter in a day.
The most amazing part of this video is how in less than an hour he went from borderline limp- wristing a 9mm to running rifle drills like a professional.
Airsoft as a training aid depends a lot on the type of airsoft gun you get. The electric guns are terrible training tools,
The F1 Firearms UDR-15 [Airsoft Model] (Demo Ranch gun) actually has a real lower in it. I discovered this when taking it apart.
@@SobaOfPulaski that seems kinda illegal but whatever I'm not snitching
@@SobaOfPulaski That's a fake myth. A gearbox wouldn't fit in there if it was a real receiver, Airsoft M4 mags are also a few mm wider.
Yeah before I and after I started shooting handguns, I had a couple of green gas (propane) air-soft pistols and that really helps. They recoil fairly similarly to say a .22LR or slightly more depending on the power of the air-soft gun. It definitely helped with learning Recoil control on actual firearms.
I know that there are quite a few militaries who actually use airsoft for ther cqb training. its safe and you can see where you hit. Some other militaries also use paintball or even paint ammo with real guns, but they hurt like a bitch
It's a gap between training, practise on a range and shooting in a combat field.
But muscle memory is the only thing you can rely on.
Still, it's a good way to apprehend weaponry with airsoft guns that have same specifics as real ones.
The "bad habits" that you talked about was a huge issue for a few people in my basic training company in the army. We had a couple guys and one girl who said they fired all the time before joining the military and they had the hardest time shooting 40s (40/40 shots landed for those who arent familiar) because they couldnt break those habits.
Neo pfp, nice
That young fella was really good.
A good Instructor, and a motivated Student...outstanding results.🇨🇦
I had been shooting rifles for over 10 years before I tried pistol shooting. I agree with you there about pistol shooting being harder as I had found it was so much harder than rifle shooting, especially air pistol silhouette events.
My favorite handgun is the Glock 17 - but to be fair that's the only one I've shot on a regular basis (British Army)
Love them. If i carried open that would be my choice.
Most weapons made in Austria are second to none including the Steyr..
@@FourHorsemen-k2y even here in Austria steyr handguns are not very popular but they are actually very nice shooters maybe not as reliable as a glock tough
@@JamesonsTravels My Favorite Range pistol is my Beretta 92FS, I have had it since 2008 and I can't get over how smooth the action is on it. I also have large hands so the large frame works for me. I would definitely use the 92FS for open carry. For Concealed I currently use an FN503 (9mm), I was trying to buy the Sig365 but it was sold out when I went, I'm quite happy with the slim-sub compact, however I am thinking of switching to a compact instead, I don't like only having an 8 round magazine and having to carry a spare. The FN503 I will say has the SMOOTHEST trigger I've ever felt on any handgun, though my favorite is probably still my Father's 2007 Colt M1911 Gold Cup Trophy model. There is No slack at all in it.
We had a Glock 19 a while back. I actually found I Don't like Glocks. Something about the way they shoot just feels too chunky to me, at least the earlier Gens from 2007-2010. I've fired a newer Glock recently when teaching a friend how to shoot and they seem better now in my opinion, but everyone has their preferences. Despite it not being mine, I usually Recommend Glocks to new shooters due to their reliability and how easy it is to find a decent one or even used one.
The video is right though, practice is everything. I was going to carry a Ruger SR9 I was handed down, since it was smaller than my Beretta, but I absolutely hated the trigger on it ( I still don't like it). After practicing with it for 3 months straight I finally got to where I could shoot it almost as good as my Beretta. IT really is practice. Even if the gun doesn't just "click" with you, practice makes all the difference.
Spartan945 man I was looking at getting a 92fs. They seem like good handguns.
Ive actually watched the original version on this video. I was into airsoft for years, and it does have some benefit learning handling skills and so forth. My preferred duty weapon is my Glock 17 with 147gr jhp.....carry wise i carry a glock 43x with 124gr jhp. I love the glock triggers, not bad pull and has a very clear crsip reset that is easy to feel and even hear.
As a lover of all things guns, and not having nearly enough time or money to always hit the range, airsoft is a nice medium to keep sharp in.
There's plenty of people out there who play airsoft just for airsoft, but taking the time to keeping rifles similar to my real ones, and playing airsoft to keep building good gun habits, from safety around others on the field, to trigger press and moving around cover. Train to a high standard and make sure you're building good habits.
Recoil is super easy to learn if you already know how to handle a gun. In the UK a lot of schools do CCF which is basically military indoctrination for kids. I did target shooting at CCF with an 5.56 L85 at 15 after a lifetime of air rifle and .22 shooting, the first shot surprised me but after that I got every other shot on target and I made the range master suspicious that I was a trained terrorist. When I was legally old enough to shoot a pistol at CCF, I shot some kind of sig and I did better than the range master who'd been in the royal marines for 20 years. Im not bragging, I just wanna drive home the point that knowing how to handle a weapon, even a simulated one like airsoft, will help you immensely.
I'm a former active duty Marine and avid shooter.
I've been airsofting for over a year now.
My draw, reloads, target transitions, and situational awareness has dramatically increased as a result.
Good force-on-force training.
Literally have to agree. I went from airsoft to actual firearms and my experience in transition was extremely comfortable and it felt extremely natural like I knew how to unjam a round, reload, good muzzle discipline. Also my shooting down range at basic training felt much better than those around me.
@@bane4743 It's difficult not to play this card, but even as a 4x combat veteran, I found so much more lessons learned and training from airsoft than I ever received in the Corps.
Glad to hear it's helped you as well.
Cheers.

GLOCK 19 (Carry), GLOCK 17 and 21 (Range) = Retired Navy, Army and KS State Trooper.
He trained his airsoft as if the guns were real. That's why the skills translate. I'd be curious to see dedicated pistol airsofters run some handguns, or the guys that use no stock SMGs on CQB fields handle the real life equivalent. The Subject (because I have no clue how to spell his name) has what I would call a passion for this sort of thing. The muscle memory of treating an airsoft rifle like a real rifle to learn the repetition of mag changes, malfunction clearing, hell he even closes the dust cover in the same motion as putting it on safe, literally textbook. And that's just handling the rifle, nevermind the skill to do all of that while also accurately putting rounds on target at an insane rate of fire. I hope that this kid does something with what he's got, especially because he clearly has the passion to invest the hours in it already.
Wow almost as if airsoft guns are built like the real thing oh wait they are.
@@IchigoKurosaki011 'cept not everyone utilizes them like that. This dude understands how the weapon functions as if it wasn't a reproduction - something that not every airsofter with a spec'd out fancy gas blowback realistic replica can claim.
Completely in agreement with you, I train security personnel and all the initial training in the handling of the weapon and then the improvement training in the technique is carried out with airsoft, and then I move to the real weapon in very easy, not to mention that there are many exercises that cannot be performed with a real weapon and if with airsoft, shooting an opponent and his response towards us, this exercise improves your reflexes, enlivens your senses, puts you more in a real situation.
Nice
This video and Marine Narrator were AMAZING and Spot On!
Great Commentary and Training Testament!
I saw Jimi Hendrix sing and play with Mitch and Billy in Inglewood in 1970. He was literally glowing. I desperately wanted acid and could not find any. Jimi cured that habit real quick. I watched his hands, I could barely blink so enraptured was I by his movements, body and hands. He literally showed me everything that I needed to know, ever, to play guitar for 55 minutes. Training, indeed.
Sucks it’s so hard to shoot like this in New Zealand. It’s possible... but is like 2 licences. I only have one right now...

@@JamesonsTravels Australia even requires a licence for an air rifle or BB gun. I have never seen air soft here. Pistol crossbows are illegal and in my state a licence is required for a crossbow. I have seen all of these weapons sold over the counter in Communist China without a licence. Go figure.
I thought they recently banned semi autos in NZ
I wish my "Call of Duty" tours translated into real life...
Just kidding. It's nice to see new people getting into the firearms world, responsibly.
Well Call of Duty taught me how to reload weapons (pistols, shotguns, ARs, snipers) ...
The more people get into the firearms world, the world is going to be more peaceful and spread freedom. If you know what i mean
It actually does. I've learned a lot of combat tactics and movement from video games. Especially CQB and how to rush someone in a 1 on 1 fight.
I knew how to load and load an m4 from cod so
No One most streamline video games get guns completely wrong. An example is Most games have the reload animation always pull back the charging handle all the time for the ar platform. The bolt catch exists for a reason, and don’t even get started on zeroing for sights
Mixing real firearm training and airsoft is one of the best decisions you can make.
I’ve seen this before The guy is incredible. All he needs to conquer is recoil management. After 15 years focused on pistol marksmanship, I do dry practice (dry fire) and manipulations 10 to 1 to live ammo. Its my secret sauce that has taken me from good to great. That and purposeful training every session. A plan when I arrive at the range on what skills I want to work on, and doing something other than shooting the same old target at the same old distance. Great review. Thanks.

Now, Bolsonaro (wich is not a great president) have made little improvements on the gun laws and we're allowed to at least own a small variety of guns. Altough the carry permit is pretty hard to get, if you're going to the range or coming back from it, you can conceal carry your gun without problem.

@Poseidons Trident Stupid comment, if you are going to harm some1 you will do it gun or no gun.
"Where did you learn how to shoot, the internet?" Well......
All he needed was the real firearms instruction, he had the handling fundamentals down.
Airsoft guns are mostly built the same as the real thing. Other than recoil, range of the projectile, and a couple of the internal parts being a bit different, I would find it hard to believe that anyone who knows their airsoft guns wouldn't be able to handle a live firearm.
That Lucas guy is bit of a patronising asshole in the way he talks to the dude, can't expect much from someone who has probably never touched an airsoft gun in their life though.
I remember my drill sergeant saying the people who have zero weapon experience and listens to everything usually do better than the people who had experience.
Only true if people have been train in improper or just different techniques. It’s basically true with everything. It’s a lot easier to learn something fresh then to completely relearn something you thought you already know, especially when there’s so much muscle memory involved.
Thats a lie
@@mrchale2530 why
Been a long time since I was into airsoft, but it definitely gives you the basics; leading targets, being mindful of how much ammo you've expended, hand-eye coordination, etc.

The instructor Lucas Botkin did a great job of tuning that kid up. That video was awesome. Great video sir
My biggest concern of an airsoft to military combat transition would be the fear of a real round's damage. A lack of respect for a round's lagality can affect coverage value and pushing irresponsibly
Favorite Shooter: Still my Browning Hi-Power
Favorite Carry: SIG P-320 and SIG P-226.
Airsoft can be a good training tool to start with. I used them with my sons. I had the full metal ones that have the same weight as real firearms. I was able to teach them safety rules with it along with the discipline in controlling the weapon. Once we moved to real firearms, there was still more teaching due to the recoil of the rounds. From a safety aspect I believe they are a great tool to start off with teaching the basics, with less fear of someone getting seriously hurt.
5:00 Add: EEEE... EEEE.... EEEE... And he would literally be able to to do an entire pixar movie worth of dialogue

The most amazing thing is this guy containing how much fucking fun he's having shooting for real.
On the listening part, there's a language barrier there. Liku's English back then wasn't as great. But! They spent a lot more time together than you see in the video. It was real wholesome watching all the buildups, teasers, and BTS stuff leading up to the video release. All smiles and good times.
If I recall from some of the BTS stuff on instagram, Liku got a good chunk of his drills and fundamentals from the TREX arms channel itself? If not, well the main point is he's completely self-trained from video materials on youtube(just not from TREX Arms).

@@Krezmick its better for more reasons like a 2 peice firing pin, and the open slide gets less dirty. It is an amzing sidearm

you should react to some of Ross Kemp's extreme world videos
Ross balls are too big to fit in the screen
F**k yes. No one kills Ross.
Yess!
Did you know ross calls his balls miley cyrus cause they are the size and weight of wrecking balls
Shaun Peers, I met him in 08. I’m absolutely sure he gave me the shits!
I've always hated the RUclips format of some guy watching somebody else's videos but you actually bring something to the table, if not expert information, an enjoyable presence.
T Rex is this damn good and with zero military or LE training. He’s pretty much self taught
Dry firing has really helped me with getting used to my iron sights, snapping on to a piece of tape on the wall or doorknob or anything really, definitely recommend it.
I also use the TV for quick changing targets with whatever character comes on from which side
I have watched the original video and multiple people react to it so many times, I dont know why I love this video so much
As someone who has been taking classes the part that immediately impressed me was how quick he did the tap and rack when it didn't fire instead of just freeze.
I am already scared of loud sound how am I even supposed to hear a gun shot I prolly would be shacking by then lol
Jamesons love to see how good your channel has been going heep working hard stay motivated sir 👌
Contacts are deafening and the force of incoming rounds can be palpable if they are larger calibre's. I completely understand why soldiers in WW1 suffered from shell shock. It must have been harrowing.
This also says a lot about those virtual shooting galleries that use replicas of real weapons with simulated recoil.
I don't know if anyone has brought this up. But when he fired with no round in the chamber. Noticed how he didn't flinch or move this hand in anticipation of a shot. That is crazy good. Like, that is the hardest thing to teach a person. To not jerk and make movements when pulling the trigger.
Great take on this video. I watch a lot of Isaac and Lucas myself. This particularly was a fun watch.
I liked the single action semi autos. The Browning HP had a magazine safety which made the trigger pull a lot heavier otherwise would have preferred it over a 1911. Never shot a Glock as I am skeptical about having the safety inside the trigger. My other weapon was a Model 19 S&W with a 4 inch barrel which I liked a lot. Double action for every shot, can't recall a shot in single action with that weapon. have not shot now for 20 years, in Australia civilians can only shoot at a gun club range.
itotally agree i have multiple hp's or gp's as they are caled back home,it was my professional sidearm for 28 years and i have 3 of them at home,two oldies like a renaisence model and a capitan,but for plinking its my praktical
fudd
@Pat Geren I am 70 I like them for the fact I don't have to look for the empties (cases). Reliable and you can customize your loads for target shooting and for IPSC. As for capacity ? Double tap 3 targets if you're up against 3 experts you're history anyway ;)
Yes it does keepp at it man u have me as a loyal fan I like guns alot I got alot
We usually freak out our neighbors when setting up airsoft lanes in the back yard... CQB, reflex Fire... yada yada... they just be hatin...
Being a fast learner is great, but being just as fast at relearning is ideal.
I can say that I played airsoft massively when I was 14-18 years old. I played almost every other day with spring, gas, and electric. The most accurate airsoft gun I shot was spring rifle with a heavy weight bb. Then when I got to basic training and shot a weapon for real I felt extremely comfortable. It felt natural.
Yep, fundamentals aside, having ZERO muscle memory for shooting a real gun aside, he very quickly adapted to the live fire setting. His manipulation, troubleshooting, and adaptation is what happens when you dry practice. Great job friend from over the pond.
Preferred Carry & Shoot: M&P Shield 9mm. I trust this firearm implicitly with my life. 🇺🇸
Same weapon I own. I wouldn't mind trading it in for the 2.0 though.
In my household... we have the following criteria when complimenting someone work... Good, Nice, Great, and Japanese.
Norwegian fire range leader here.
Favorite pistol CZ Sp-01 Shadow, don't have weapon laws that open for personal use except from hunting, competition and training on range.
I’ve got an HK VP9 that Ive taken a huge liking to. It’s got a more consistent pull and a ton less mush than Glock triggers imo. Plus the adjustable grips and side panels make it so much more form fitting
Kinda cool you got the vp9. That's the standard issue for japanese self defense force
Keep in mind T-Rex is a well known instructor and knows his shit
Bwahahaha!
@@OnPointFirearms care to elaborate on that or are you just a mad boomer that a young kid knows more than you? lol
@@Lagaholic Lucas has no real world experience, he's "self taught" He went to one 3 gun competition and placed dead last. Instructors are proven by either being high level competition shooters or by having real world (mil/LEO) experience. Being able to shoot fast at really close ranges with zero stress isnt credibility. He shouldnt be an instructor.
To be fair, Lucas teaches folks how to pull triggers better and that's it, how they apply it is up to them, in either a competition or tactical situation. Because at the end of the day, you are simply pulling a trigger. Just food for thought.
@@MLDRBRY He seems fine to me... lets be honest, you can be a good instructor without having been shot at or shot at somebody. That's fuckin retarded to say "YoU CaNt Be a GoOd iNsTruCtoR If YoU HaVe No RW ExpEriEnCe"
He teaches good shooting fundamentals, has great ideas on how to improve shooting and accuracy and who tf cares if he dresses up like DELTA Force. He's a good shooter and teacher.
Also, in regards to the 3 gun.. (taken from another comment) - " His raw time was 530 with a single 10 second penalty of hitting a no-shoot and no penalties for ANYTHING ELSE. He was not disqualified, and his score on the chart (searched it and investigated myself) should have put him at spot 29, a very very respectable showing. NO IDEA WHY HE WAS DISQUALIFIED."
