Your Garand Thumb hand gestures are on point today😂
The concern of the barrel mounted bipod is about barrel harmonics. As soon as the round goes off the barrel starts to vibrate. If the vibration is out of sync then it could throw a bigger dispersion
yea, I don't like barrel mounted either. I didn't realize how bad the accuracy drops until I shot at a local match from a barricade. It threw my rounds everywhere and I was pissed because it should have been easy hits to make too. Now I'm very conscious about not resting the barrel against anything. Now I make sure the handguard is mounted instead.
Doesn’t really matter for the SAW role.
@@Johnnyboy633fair point, still like to shoot as straight as possiblr
@@loganenglish6302bros got a binary trigger. Im sure you have never operated an actual saw. You want a cone of fire. And having a barrel mounted bipod doesn’t effect it at the ranges you would operate at in the woods of America.
@@loganenglish6302for marksmanship you don’t want it. But it doesn’t matter to be used in that role
Been waiting on this one. Hope you do a part 2 where you talk about kit for an auto-rifleman.
It’s on the to do list!
I agree! I would be interested in how you carry the additional mags and supporting equipment.
Just load up an Alice rig with saw pouches and mags
Just load up an Alice rig with saw pouches and mags
So I've been calling mine a civi lmg. It'll pull double duty as a dmr. 18-20" Heavy barrel with a binary and good optic, bipod.
Straight Gas Tube is great, Inconel Gas Tube is also great. Maybe they should get together on both!
We use them at One Shepherd Institute. They are awesome and give the small unit a lot of firepower. We use the Klein Machining since Klein is a 1S instructor. There is no issue with the barrel mounted bipod. Its accurate enough and does what its supposed to do.
One shepherd 🤣🤣
F😂😂😂😂😂

Great content!! Just be careful water cooling extremely hot barrels. We tried this as instructors in SOI during the peak of Marine Corps recruiting where classes consisted of 300+ recruits. Poured water on an M249 SAW to cool it off since both the A-Barrel and main barrels were already red-hot. The loud screeching and cracking sounds that came from that barrel as soon as we pour water on it was interesting. Then the barrel bent itself at about a 45 degree angle, rendering it trash. Just an FYI for those of you who didn’t know this could happen. Save you some money and potentially prevent a life threatening issue.
You definitely need to be careful with improper barrels and rapid cooling. Luckily, technology like the Heat Mitigation System from Red Right Hand is gaining popularity!
That Klein upper is sick.. never seen one with a different rail. Big fan
I'v owned a fightlite mcr for several years and only started training with it this year by rucking with friends and taking it to 2gun matches, its very hard to find useful info on what do to with these things, i was a sailor so i had zero experience on anything infantry and have very few army/marine friends. Its great that people like you and garand thumb started doing more vids about support guns cause it helps people like me start walking in the right direction even if its a niche topic for civilian use
I like this application. I would just apply it to a couple AR -10s to have more capability in regard to stopping vehicles and shooting through barricades and possibly trees.
Klein is now doing 7.62 versions.
You gain firepower at the cost of ammo compatibility, amount of rounds you can carry, and cost
thanks for sharing! also thanks for keeping the video short. it's easy to beat a dead horse on something you've spent so much time on but you've kept it easy to listen to.
These are great setups for the civilian sbf element! Might have to build me one of these. Thanks for the video.
If you haven’t acquired belt fed machine guns after a couple hundred days of fighting you aren’t doing it right.
Fr fr people forget that foreign powers normally get involved and before you know it some scuzzy cubans hooked you up with Chinese AT weapons
I see half measures like this (binary triggers, bump stocks, whatever's legal at the moment) as peacetime training aids that won't get you arrested immediately more so than anything else.
If you're at the point where you aren't worrying about plausible deniability anymore a full auto trigger for an AR is readily available from multiple sources online with no red tape because they aren't considered machine guns. Provided you're already using a full shelf lower (several companies sell these as their default, but the majority still go by the Colt civilian spec high shelf) the third hole is no more complicated to drill than any of the other trigger pin holes you'd drill out on an 80%.
100 % agree. In the terrain that they ran their demo in (which was well done IMO, depicting a post-collapse ambush), a DMR, bipod supported and behind cover & concealment could have achieved the same thing.
@@erwin643there are times for a DMR and times for a SAW
Belt fed machine guns might not be optimal for a small and highly mobile unit, though. I think this setup is pretty clever. You have the ability to fill in as a heavy and also the ability to engage at longer ranges if necessary. I live in the Sierra mountains and this setup would do me a lot more good than a belt fed. I know it differs for each individual, though. Just my thoughts.
Aside from price, it would be a much better decision to go with something like the Fight light MCR and gain the added utility of a magazine and belt fed SAW with rapid barrel swap. Not to mention you keep lower receiver parts compatibility as well as being able to swap mags with your team members.
Yep!
100%
I built my own using a spikes 20” HBAR and Big Ass Rail, on a Gibbz side charging upper. The rail needed a little grinding to fit but once it all came together it’s beautiful. I think the LSW/SAR gunner should have a support/ammo man and they should look to run pmag 40’s over 30’s. The rest of the fire teams associated with the gunners should carry either a drum or x2 40’s
Been budgeting a build for a while now. Thanks for the info.
Thank you for your time 😊
I have a Klein Machining 24" chrome lined bull barrel 5.56 upper on a bcm lower and Franklin Armory binary trigger. The surefire 60s run really well in that.
24 inch, thats a musket lol
A very interesting concept I've personally been thinking about too. Thanks for the video really love this channel. Also I was thinking if you wanted to save some money one could use a 40 round pmag with a mag coupler so have 80 rounds on tap. And use the Giselle ssae trigger to be able to lay down similar amounts of fire but still can be used like a regular ar since it has a single stage trigger
I had a build idea I called the "quasIAR" that was pretty much this with a HBAR 16" barrel for pretty much the same use-case, inspired by the LSW builds I've seen in One Shepherd videos. Cool to see this idea catching on!
Longer barrel gives a flatter trajectory and eats recoil better. Depending on setup it can be more accurate.
16 inch is handy, blends with a group, lighter.
Choose whatever makes the most sense in your area.
I just finished up a build like this. 20” heavy barrel and heat resistant gas tube etc. Now the hard part is finding a way to carry all the ammo.
Russian AKM mag pouches fit 40 round PMAGs in them quite nicely. Three 40 round PMAGs per pouch if you remove the dividers. 4x pouches = 12x magazines at 40 rounds each, 480 total plus the 40 in the mag in the run for 520 total. I'd still carry some more mags, since you'd need them, but 480 on your belt kit is a good starting place IMO.
USGI SAW/M60 pouches hold 6 stanags size magazines. One on each side of your LBE gives you 360 rounds
@@fiskersproductionsThat’s exactly what I did when I got my build put together this past spring. Alice saw pouches are still pretty plentiful and cheap.
Shaw concepts BFG pouch, USGI IFAK, USGI Sustainment pouches, USGI SAW Gunner kit, etc. plenty of options and even a taps rig and a bunch of mags will get u far. Don’t forget water and sustainment!
@@Didymus-vz6uy good to know. I’m thinking of running mostly 40 round mags and it’s been hard to find any information on how people carry them. I’m considering running 4 double mag pouches on a split rig. I’ll probably have a couple of canteens and an ifak on the back. Hopefully that will leave some room for a gp pouch
You keep me updated on gungram drama. Thanks
Would have to check but I just got the idea that eagle canteen pouches might work if you cut the elastic, you'd have to put thin with ammo up though not down. If that doesn't work 200 rounds saw pouches will.
Awesome video guys!
Saw that 60 bipod bought back memories when I was a 60 gunner in the Marines😁👍🏾👍🏾
Freakin AWESOME!!! THANK YOU.
In my group, we are in the process of building out a couple of these style rifles.
Grunt proof sent me to you! Thanks for what you were doing!
I often hear and see people comment that the binary triggers are gimmicky and not really viable options. I have always held the opinion that they are actually a very viable option outside of the impossible to get for the poors' legit fun switch. Fire superiority involves increasing your volume of fire, accuracy suffers automatically (pun intended), having the actual fun switch is preferable, but the binary does indeed increase your volume of fire. This can be a game changer in small unit tactics of the civilian type!
Glad I found this video!!! Good shit!!!
New viewer, the intro video was wild!
HELL YEAH!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!
A side note, the KCI Gen 2 100rnd drum mags are nice compliments to a D60, that and coupled 40rnd pmags is 80rnds at hand which is solid too.
The FRT’s or the “Super Safety” are also a good options to compare against binary trigger, they’ll work very similarly to increase volume of fire, but are NOT fully automatic.
Coupling 40 rounders gives you a l-o-n-g magazine which may affect your firing posture: just saying.
For the time being, the FRT is still considered a machinegun by the ATF. They're more than likely going to lose in court, but if you're trying to avoid poking the bear, that's not the route to go right now.
@@carbon8ed The ATF will always have their wrong viewpoint, FRT’s are currently STILL LEGAL. So go ahead and comply with tyrants who want to come disarm and/or kill you for having the same level of small arms weaponry they do. That’ll work out well. Prepare for the end because it’s coming, no matter what’s decided on the triggers by the ATF and the courts.
@pop401k in a defensive or ambush position, you will have accounted for the mag length, or at least you should have
@carbon8ed incorrect, the current definition by the AFT, FRTs are not machine guns, but they will come to your door sonyou can voluntarilysurrender them. However, the AFT is attempting to redefine what Congress determined a machine gun to be.
Great vid man
I have been messaging with Klein Machining about potentially machining an adapter for MLOK handguards to attach to the M192 tripod cradle.
Delton has some heavy barrel chrome lined barrels/uppers and are a great way of building an LSW for less
Awww man, I read the title while I was getting up to get my dinner bowl out of the nuker and saw that it said Light Saber Weapon. When I got back to the laptop confuser, you had changed the title to Light Support Weapon.
You tricked me, but I still watched.
Best use of 20" HBAR A2 colt upper.
That colt IAR upper would be nice to have
that passenger and the dismount dudes almost certainly would not have made it out of the car lmao
My first thought was thank God there was no EMP or that computerized truck would be a lawn ornament. 🤣 Great to see another dirty civilian channel pop up on my feed though. Subbed ya! 🗽🇺🇸🤙
Hk91 with 50rd drum mags and binary trigger bipod and dot site with 3x magnifier. Only if im static but if I am thirty cal rocks.
Gas cycled engine coolant would be an interest idea if nobody has already. In addition to heavy barrel and vented rail or whatever
You could tell it was a bad guy truck because it wasn't a tan Tacoma.
Great info thk you.. if i may add one thing i dont recomend ever pouring water on a really hot barrel if it is hot enuff u can significantly weaken it and shorten the life of said barrel..good hunting..
Our barrels are nearly a full inch thick and coved in an aluminum heat sink, which takes all the heat and thus the water is evaporating on the heat sink and not the barrel. That said, a barrel that thick is not effected by water due to the mass of the barrel, a thinner Government profile or lighter profile can be damaged when cooled in that manner. So in a situation where you need to rapid cool your LSW/Auto-Rifle Build, our uppers can handle the rapid water cool down and not damage the system or barrel.
@@redrighthandllc outstanding... in that case i would agree an isolated heavy barrel can take it and will def keep u in the fight thk u ..
Just found this channel…feels kinda dirty civilian-ish. Subbed 😊
I could see having one of these play double duty as a DMR as well to be more modular.
Cool concept, but fire superiority is a must in a gun fight. I’d relegate the DMR role to literally anyone else.
@@elterga6224 how many dudes in your fireteam so you can afford that?
@@boejiden1942 to have your LSW function as a DMR at the same time, you would have probably no more than 2-3 guys in your fire team. In the army, it’s pretty well understood the most effective fireteam is made up by a grenadier, a saw gunner (LSW in this case), a rifleman, and a team leader. In the fire team, the saw (again the LSW in this case) is the most casualty producing weapon with its role being suppression and killing by volume of fire rather than “watch and shoot”. A DMR in stark contrast is a special weapon designed to eliminate enemy combatants through well timed and placed shots while not being overly cumbersome and its mission set is usually within 800 meters. So as you can see, you could flex the DMR role to the rifleman, the team leader, and even the grenadier before the LSW and still have enough fire power to effectively suppress and take down enemy targets.
@@boejiden1942a DMR doesn't need to be a big fancy specialist m110. During the GWOT, a DMR could've been an m16 with an ACOG. All a DMR needs to do is allow the individual to have slightly better accuracy and consistency than the standard issue infantry weapon

Hey good stuff!!!
Awesome
I have notice with beta mags they do very well with some lowers than others my is kinda of sticky but with dsa it is not just some food for though
Im surprised you havent seen any effects on the barrel mounted bipod. InRange/Forgotten Weapons have a handfull of competion videos where you can witness non free floated barrels getting braced and flexing shots off target.
You're correct! However most of those barrels that are deflecting in the In Range and Forgotten Weapons videos aren't 1" thick. They're big proponents of the pencil barrel on the rifles they generally compete with, outside of vintage stuff obviously
@@blue_ridge_shooting7668 That's a very good point, barrel flex would probably be significantly reduced with a thicker barrel.
Have you thought about the A5 buffer system? Might help with recoil and CR
The A5 System is right at home on our RECCE LMG uppers. The ability to dial the gas in with the Riflespeed gas control, and adding a A5 system, you can really dial in the ROF you desire. Nice and slow is very achievable, and that also adds to the ability of the HMS managing the heat in the barrel even more. Not to mention, it helps conserve ammo.
Tactical bobbing 💯😂
Inconel gas tubes would be warranted for this type of build.
I whole heartily agree!
Cold hammer forged heavy barrel with a short stroke piston would be a good addition to that setup. Combo of 40 rd pmags and 60’s also. Sounds like a fun build.
Two LSW's and a Mk12, with a four man Assault Element would be legit...
Thanks to patriot on here!
For the role these weapons are playing in the squad you want dispersion over accurracy. Your support weapons aren't made to be as accurate as the rifelmen's weapons, its made to sling lead fast and keep the enemy in cover. So long as your barrel isn't bending the weapons will function just fine.
I would add the cry havoc takedown kit in order to change barrels.
Which acogs did you find worked best for this role
Sooo the M-60 mount is just..
It’s definitely a vibe man.
Like I want one on my shotgun - just for vibes.
But isn’t any force or pressure inserted into a barrel going to cause issues ?
From what we have seen, the direct barrel mounted bipod has not had any effect on barrel harmonics or performance.
What did you have to do to mount the M60 bipod to the barrel? Any modifications or adaptors? Or does it mount right away?
That is a custom barrel and bipod mount from Klein Machining (Small Arms Supply)
What woodland gear do you buy?
If you can afford it there are a few options for non NFA belt feds.
The M249S and Fightlite MCR being the best examples.
The idea is that it isn’t a belt fed SAW. They’re prioritizing interchangeability with other team members, that includes ammo and parts. The MCR is a really good option though and I don’t think that having a non-milspec upper is a big enough disadvantage especially when you consider it could be flexed into a SAW role at the drop of a dime.
@elterga6224 my biggest gripes with the LSW is the low cyclic rate and unreliability of drums.
I love my MCR, it doesn't have the open bolt of a full auto M249 but still retains the rest of the advantages for sustained fire.
Also add. The MCR uses standard AR lowers, you need to have specific upper parts though. Also belt to mag changes is as simple as dropping the nutsack adapter.
@@Ulfstigandr the MCR really is a game changer. I would take a SAW over an LSW any day. The idea of an LSW is that it isn’t a machine gun, even if you have a fully automatic rifle. It doesn’t fit the role of fire superiority as well as a belt fed imo. The MCR is a great bridge in that respect, being lightweight enough to maneuver effectively with while also packing enough heat to suppress enemies with.
Curious why you dnt go with a heavier caliber or different platform for the LSW. My solution was a couple RPKs. Yes you lose mag compatibility with the rest of the team/squad but you gain a higher continuity of fire (piston vs DI) and a round that is going to do more damage on harder barriers.
Firstly, quite your voice... We are already in the works on something special hopefully. Secondly, the Light Support Weapon isn’t made to be a hard hitter platform, it is purely meant to increase volume of fire for the purpose of suppression.
@@EverydayCitizensTactical Was just curious your thought process bro. Sounds like your going more for an Automatic riflemen concept then
i was just building one of these
1:05 Rip to the guy with the Band Kid hat
What about the fightlite mcr? Seems like it fills the same role but with added capabilities
Do you have $6,000 laying around, plus whatever extra it would cost to purchase (and resupply!) full sets of links for the belt feed? Neither do most people. That's almost certainly the major reason for sticking with a conventional AR setup
@mnguy98 I think I had invested about $10k setting up my MCR. Not cheap by any means, but well worth it. Just settle driving your truck a few more years, take the down payment and build one.
Hi, are LSW in this case function like a BAR during World War 2?
Automatic rifles (we can also call them LSW) have the role of providing more firepower than a infantry rifle, however, they are more maneuverable than other machine guns that have greater sustained fire capacity (such as LMG's, GPMG's, etc), as they are not a crew-served weapon and its highest priority is to combat crew-served weapons
So……….. here’s my opinion on this. Go with a schmeisser 60 round magazine either alone or get a second one and tape it together and just run straight 40 round magazines in your kit while using the 30 round magazines in your backpack. Now if you want a new recruit to get in this method then I’d advise everyone within the group to get a binary triggers themselves or pool together to get everyone binary triggers. Unit cohesion is key in both gun techniques and supply as well as unit gear so that someone that has little to no training in an LSW can get on and ad lib just in case you’re down. NOW- if your lower is put together properly you can put another upper just in case your LSW upper breaks.HOWEVER- once you swap the uppers it’ll depend on what backup upper you’ve chosen that’ll dictate what role you’ll have. For me just having a 16inch upper is fine,BUT it doesn’t mean you can’t configure your backup upper to be a shorter version of what your LSW is. In other words you can change the platform from being an LSW to an IAR. Taking the role of the usmc m27 IAR, but following the doctrine that US SOF was doing prior with the mk 18 with it purely being a backup upper for house to house clearing.
As for your plate carrier I would recommend using ak47 molle magazine pouches for use for the 40 round magazines. Also it is imperative to have at least good knee pads as you’re going to be throwing yourself prone bcuz once you party- all attention comes to you so you’ll have to make yourself a harder target to hit giving the dmr gunner time to pick out the ones commanding. It’s been what? 4 years of learning what I should mirror what a usual rpk-47 gunner does. It’s pretty much awesome at this point.
I'm sorry, but are you talking about switching uppers in the middle of a fight?
Are you suggesting carrying extra uppers in your backpack in case a main LSW gunner takes a hit?
And I would rather not have any mags taped together. But it's a semi-free country. People can semi-do as they want.
@@woodsghost9088 only in emergencies and if they get in a location where there wouldn’t be much mobility to use a long barrel. That was essentially what socom had in mind during the G.W.O.T. That was confirmed from modern tactical solutions and Christopher Larson as well as various navy seals from before the start of our involvement in Afghanistan when the mk18 mod 0 was created. Even though it is heavy, that is what I’m currently doing right now in my setup. Of course though, this is a free country so you don’t necessarily need to do it.
Also, you really don’t need to jungle tape magazines if you’re gonna use magpul 40 round magazines together. I believe they have a mag coupler for that. In other cases, there are other magazines to use.
@@desertpinoy5616 that is an interesting thought. Though I have never heard nor seen Christopher Larson advocate swapping uppers when space is confined. Do you have a link to a video or article? And I have not heard that being a purpose behind the the MK-18 either. Certainly, the MK-18 had a heavy barrel, and it's designed for sustained fire. But I have not heard anything about it being designed to be swapped between a 20 or 24 inch barrel and whatever the MK-18 is (I forget the exact length at the moment). Again, any links to your sources?
Thanks man.
@@woodsghost9088 my bad for late reply, you’re right it wasn’t Christopher. He’s the one who was working in the colt factory. I’m thinking of the guy from modern tactical solutions that was SF from the GWOT days in OIF and OEF. Sf guys were given both 14.5 and 10.3 inch socom uppers for on the go missions for quick weapon change in due part for either fighting out in open to city or building to city. If I remember the SF guys were calling their stuff the block2? And the mk18 “shorty”? Not military just a civvie
Maybe I missed it, but what buffer weight and springs are in the lowers?
For the lower on the Red Right Hand, we used the buffer spring that came with the Binary Trigger
@@EverydayCitizensTactical thank you
just get a 24" HBAR STEYR AUG with quick change barrels.
Any way to get into contact with yall. I'm local to you guys.
When you live in the woods lol how much combat do you really think you will have ? I live in high populated area and im going to see stuff like this daily
It's probably a dumb question, but does anyone know if you can put a binary trigger in a MG42/MG3
Why wouldn't you be able to? Obviously you would need to design one specifically for the control group of the MG42/MG3 but there's no reason I can think of as to why it shouldn't be possible.
@@josephahner3031 like I said dumb question but thx
Damn. I built this type of rife with this type of application. I bought a 16 inch heavy barrel, I put a piston in it. With an exact copy extra upper for quick change when it gets to hot. I also have a bolt and upper receiver that dissipates heat and friction unbelievably fast . I got a round cam pin so less friction. In my load out I carry 1 100rd double drum, 4 D60's in saw ammo can pouches on my over Plate carrier ammo assault rig that I had professionally made to hold 4 D60's as well as 2 double 30 round mags on the ends of the d60s. That I cam rapidly remove or utilize.. mind you this goes over plate carrier where I have 5 30rd mags 3 in front 2 on sides. Then have a 72 hr assault back pack where I stow 8 more 30 rd mags as well as other gear. For the trigger I had an FRT trigger. Damn shame though that I had a house fire and lost nothing but that weapon system. Damn shame. They should really outlaw fire while the government is on its inventing ridiculous laws that are serving no purpose except giving cops more ammo to use to violate our rights than some more. Luckily I have a buddy who has a similar setup except his lower is a registered m16 so brrrp on that. Lol
What are those m81 uniforms
Following
ACTUALLY, we can 100% own belt fed weapons, we just cant have them in full auto. Sooo, FN makes a civilian version of the 249SAW called the M249S. Its not cheap, and you have to buy the links seperate from the ammo and you have to put them together yourself, but a civilian version of the SAW is 1000% available to us. I dont know if they make a binary trigger for them, but if they do then that might be something to think about. The reason we dont hear more about them is because they are $10,000+ to buy. There is no NFA tax stamp or anything either, they are just crazy expensive. ALSP, there is a kit that is much cheaper that goes on your AR15 that is a belt fed conversion that is also super reliable. AGAIN, you have to buy the links seperate and put the belts together yourself. FN also sells the boxes for the SAW and the M16 conversion, im not sure of the price to have extra box mags, but it is available. I do know that the belt fed conversion can and will work with a binary trigger if the 249S won’t. Just some food for thaught there. Anyway, I like the setup, and maybe you can get your hands on a belt fed conversion for one of those rifles. It would drastically increase your capabilities in a SHTF scenario. Semper Fi devil dog, keep training, stay ready, and hopefully we wont have to fight…. but always remember, “Its better to be a warrior in a garden than to be a gardener in a war."
10:16 is that bipod attached to the barrel? 😂
Yes it is
This is top tier battle bro larping,😘😗
So if youre training for whatever, and the day comes to use this, one of two things is true:
1) weve been invaded and are at war (unlikely, imo)
2) if theres any semblance of a government in place, and youre using this system, youre likely using it in the commission of some sort of felony.
From a training perspective, this is great. From a practical perspective and increasing capabilities, having a dude with a 3d printer who can make a few extra parts in a few hrs is probably going to be way more effective.
GOD I wish there was a Red Revolution. Would be based as hell.
That poor Nissan Frontier.
Hows the overheating on the barrels?
We do not have any over heating issues with our system, on average our Heat Mitigation System can run the barrel 30-40 degrees cooler than a barrel not equipped with it in similar conditions. Now that being said, sure, all barrels can get to a melting point but for realistic use case in the role of "LSW/Auto-Rifle", "over-heating" isn't an issue.
@@redrighthandllc Nice!
Preparing for a Civil War I like it 👍🗿
Bad ass
What pouches do you recommend for the D60 mags?
Big ones.
Fight Light & Tactical Tailor make D60 pouches, but surplus general purpose pouches also work!

I would think pouring water on a toasty barrel would result in a POI shift.
You were in the Corps and you call your trousers pants ? So you ladies call them pants ? Chesty.told me in a dream it would happen !
You said that if you only have 4-5 guys maybe this isnt the way. I disagree, I personally feel like an ARPK in a small group of guys could potentially be a life saver. Ups firepower, helps with movement and so on. If things get spicy and all you have is 5 guys to protect a larger group or just them selfs, i feel an ARPK style build is an absolute must to have on hand. Idk, just my thought process
Don’t take it as “4-5 guys don’t need it”, but more as a group that small probably has other, bigger priority items to tackle first.
@@EverydayCitizensTactical ohh i gotcha, i totally agree then lol. I want you to know i wasnt trying to be a dick or anything like that at all. I appreciate all your knowledge brotha, thanks for making these videos for us!

Drones are loud. Good to have but not always wanted. As we said in the army it is METTC dependent.

@@Johnnyboy633 I think drones are the future after watching the Ukraine War everyday. They are changing warfare and are in their hay day. Until a countermeasure is developed and fielded wildly they will continue to shape infantry tactics. I expect the US defense think tanks are getting millions in funding to explore drones
@@oldspicey6001 fighting in small team elements are completely different than the Ukraine war. I’m not saying drones are not useful for fighting in small teams. It’s just mission dependent. A drone can give away there are combatants in the area.
An AR with a bipod and drum mag 👍🏼
Not that it really matters for a support-by-fire rifle... but a barrel-mounted bipod will negatively affect accuracy. most rifles nowadays are "free floated" which means that the fore-end does not make contact with the barrel to minimize the 'flex' of the barrel with inconsistent forces. However, like I said, for a support-by-fire rifle, there are much more important considerations... it's not a marksman's rifle haha
I know I’m probably going to get hammered on the comments.
I probably misunderstood what just went down at the opening of this video.
Having a ambush set with men N,S,E,andW.
Doesn’t that pose a friendly fire threat?
If a road runs North to south, that makes one side the east side of the road, and the other side west. Now think of North Center & South as “Top, Middle and Bottom” of that specified side of the road. Hence, all personnel are on the same side of the road.
Just need to watch your rate of fire... Rapid and Sustained should be more than enough...
Would think you would want your men on both sides of the truck to allow them no where to take cover.
And shoot your own guys?
ummm...no
Do you want crossfire? Because that's how you get crossfire
@@ModernFrontiersman 🍿😂
Crossfire is highly over rated. The bodies and truck will stop all those so called cross fire rounds.
There are no lawyers attached to every bullet in a firefight.
Fear not, civilian. ☆
We need to be ready for when we get invaded cuz we are already being invaded 😢
TBH that enemy element did exactly what you don't wanna do in an ambush. Roll through that bitch next time instead of hanging in the killzone lol
