POV: your ransacking a house and you get flash banged, you already know you fucked up.
As a first responder... The chemlight idea is helpful. Yeah I have Google maps but it's very very helpful if you're calling and say "doors open there's a glowstick on the front porch". Plenty of times I get into the neighborhood and have misread the address or something.... Glowstick guides me right in
As a cop I 100% agree… not all addresses are posted well or visible.. and they sometimes u drive right past it thinking it’s further down
@@lenanbo1 "I parked a tactical distance from the address" "8 houses away" "yeah Sgt, I'm pretty tactical"
Okay as a firefighter this is an absolute fact! if you put a glow stick , On the front porch we'll get to your address the first time vs giving us just your address especially because alot of the houses we've gone to the house numbers are either blocked by shrubbery or just not on the house. the ones that used to get me where the ones that people had on their mailboxes that were reflective like that's all good and great if we're responding to your house at 12pm but at 2am that doesn't do us any good
Another idea for those without chem sticks, turn on the lights in/around your home if you want to notify first responders
Never thought of this. I actually don't have numbers up anymore.
I have a flintlock pistol & kerosene lantern for my home defense setup. 40% of the time it works every time.
Cannon with grape shot pointed down the stairs bro.
@@nobodynoone2500 tally ho, lads!
For the bump in the night type home invasion, Two magazines attached by a mag coupler is a good idea so you got that extra mag without having to figure out a way to carry the extra mag on your person in the middle of the night. And it’s less you have to think about. You just grab your rifle and it’s already got two mags on it
100% agree, most people aren't wearing jeans or miltary style pants while sleep, and unless its the end of days I'm sure I won't need the extra mags that are in hands reach
Keep a bayonet or derringer taped behind your ball sac, you never know when it may save your life
I'm currently running a mag coupler on my setup but I was curious about a magpul D60. Do you see an advantage from one setup over the other?
@@sneak916 usually can’t fill up all the way right away and tendency to jam or malfunction during that break in period. Put two 30s together or two 40s
@@son_of_guns Why not just have a battle belt or chest rig ready to go? Especially when you have time to grab everything.
Thanks for the breakdown. This is helpful for me as I plan my next home.
I also appreciate the hierarchy of needs you mentioned: Rifle, light, optic, everything else comes later.
Well done as always. I would only add that a simple MK19 out of a second story window may be a good consideration for neighborhood violence :)
Ghost round at 2am hits different.
You could always lower the charge.
I concur
Not within the threshold of the minimum engagement distance for the round to detonate. You'll have more UXOs than you want to deal with.
@@Salasshole well instead of disarming the UXOs yourself you could always throw a bunch of welfare checks on top of them and let the neighborhood thugs do it for you.
Awesome video. Really good points and I love the emphasis on asking yourself more questions to find the solution thats right for your situation. Thinking about the importance of response time is also something I don't usually hear mentioned in these types of videos. As nice as it would be to strap on a full carrier and a belt time is working against you the second you hear the bump in the night.
I like to keep a med kit in a central location in the house, so that if you dont have time to grab one its still close by.
My tips and .2 cents:
Get super familiar with your neighbors. My direct neighbor is an EMT with loads of knowledge on first aid, trauma, has access to EMS radio. His wife is also a nurse. I always have their back and they have mine.
Had a group of 4 attempt to break into our cars. Luckily our alarm systems scared them off but having an alarm to alert you when there is an intruder sooner gives you more time and more of an advantage.
Lastly on the topic of home defense. Actually work in your home with your gear. See if that 20” barrel AR can be useful in the hallway. See if it’s not and consider a shorter barrel if needed. Make plans with your family and have them involved in drills. Where to go, who to call, etc. My wife has a spot in our closet where she can go and lock the door and keep a gun ready, along with a panic button for our home alarm.
Great idea.
What neighbors? 😆
My neighbors are criminals lmao
@@earlturner6023 lmao well then there’s that
@Emmanuel Goldstein not what I was meaning. If you think the first thing I’m gonna do if someone breaks in is put on a plate carrier or something is absurd. I wasn’t implying that at all. First thing I’m grabbing is my rifle by my bed man
The glow stick idea is pure genius!
This is the best video on the subject I’ve seen…you guys are great at what you do.
Don't forget about your house itself. The things you have in/on your house, i.e. your pets, motion lights, fences, etc. can be the difference in you having those few extra seconds and obtaining the advantage on someone or not. Familiarize yourself with your house and all the things about it, and then train for said scenarios. It's surprising what you can find out about your own home and how you can utilize it to your advantage while in a training environment.
Also, train hands on techniques. Especially if you are able to de-escalate said situation, there is the chance of reescalation in the form of a hand to hand altercation. Also, it gives you an extra variety of options to effectively utilize in the "what if..." situation.
My HD starts with dogs and a secured house: cameras, reinforced doors, and a panic button next to my SBR to sound the alarm. Window film is my next project.
Great video Adam. Climb to glory
These shakedown videos are priceless. Please keep them coming!
Thanks. Will do!
This was very helpful. I need to learn more about the kit, where to find things, how to set it up. I just found your channel. good stuff
Thank you for the breakdown.
Much appreciated. Well thought out setup.
Beardless Adam caught me off guard
Same.
So gross.
Great as always gentlemen thanks 👍
Love the content.. juts found your channel today. (It was highlighted because I follow mike glovers stuff)
For some of us non military trained folks.. it would be very helpful to also show how to properly wear and access the kit on the many different setups you guys cover. Demonstration of how and why things are in the locations they are on the chest rig, battle belt etc.
Thank you! We're working on more of that kind of stuff in the near future
Such a top shelf setup. I’m pretty much running something similar. 10.3” DD 300 BLK, HSP micro ( I know I know), and Team Wendy bump for the NODS. Love seeing chemlights in the kit. IMO they are under utilized in the civilian world.
Same but in 556. I do two mags with a coupler full of 77gr black hills. I figure in the middle of the night, I won’t think or have time to do anything but grab my gun based on my homes layout so the two mags on the mk18 makes it easy. Does make a light gun heavy though
@@mateo1726 that’s not a bad idea. I’m running a mag of 110gr Frangible in my 300 BLK. Being in a townhome my philosophy is, I want the mass behind the 300 but don’t want over penetration. If I need more than a mag in my house, I’m grabbing my kit lol. At least my gun belt.
@Emmanuel Goldsteinif the door is being kicked in then probably not. But then again they have to get though a locked storm door THEN kick my door in. That gives me at-least 45 seconds if not more depending on how incompetent the criminal is. I can get my helmet and rig on in 25 seconds from my bed.
I run a 300 blackout AR pistol with a 8” barrel and sandman K that are all stuffed under a Aero 12” handguard. I use a 188gr discrete ballistics in a PMAGs with a coupler and +5 extensions on each. I have a TQ on the brace as well. I have a homemade bandolier that has 2 regular PMAGs, and 2 21 round Glock mags. On the side of the bandolier is a IFAK as well. I’d also consider a carrier with two side buckles because it’s almost as fast. I may get a flash bang now too.
The old school officers bailout/active-shooter bag isn’t a bad idea either. Multiple mag pouches, plenty of room for medical gear, simple to toss over the shoulder in half a second, & likely can carry more first aid gear.
We used to say the bag was break them on the outside and fix them in the inside.
@@Millstone_Justice that’s how I set up my carrier in my cubby when I was on QRF, I would naturally already have everything else on and the rifle would be set up right next to the carrier all and I do was put my back up against the wall really hard and it would put itself over me while I slung the rifle at the same time. I think the fastest my buddies ever timed me was 1.8 seconds to go from just belt to full kit, rifle and helmet. The helmet part was hard because I had to knock it off of the shelf to fall onto my head without it falling faster than the Front plate bag.
My bump in the night gear is a 13.9" suppressed AR that's equipped to run under nods if need be (has a white light of course) and an old Vtac skirmish belt. The belt has an IFAK, 2 rifle mags, 2 pistol mags, multi-tool, roll up dump pouch, small knife, small light, and a pistol also lives on the belt in a retention holster. My thought process was that it was easy to throw on quickly and it has most of what I need to patch holes or survive a fight. My rifle is just my go to rifle and its 13.9" because we have wide open spaces here. Kind of a compromise, but it works. I do have a carrier, ballistic helmet, nods, ect that are all squared away, but that stuff takes too much time for a bump in the night. I never thought of just tossing a chest rig over my shoulder though and that might be worth considering since I have those setup too.
Man Spiritus has some sweet gear!
Great point about de-escalation by utilizing the flashbang. That's a principle all gun owners should keep in mind.
Using the rig as a fucking bandolier is so big brain holy shit
Great home “fight light” style kit.
I built a rack to stage everything right beside my bed. Having been in a home invasion before i ever got in to firearms, I intend to utilize every possible advantage.
Carrier is kept with one side open to pull it off the rack and throw it on in 4 seconds. 3 556 mags, tq and lvl 4 plates. 10.5 sits in front on the rack ready to go. Belt hangs on one side with additional support crap if the opportunity is there.
Everything goes in an inconspicuous nike sport duffel in the morning while I'm at work and out and about, because the entire world has gone fucking crazy and the only person you can count on is you. And maybe the only person *other* people can count on is you.
People think it's crazy to have a setup like this, but anyone that's ever woken up in the middle of the night and had to fight for their life with their bare hands knows better.
Be prepared, and reject the opinions of anyone that tells you not to be.
I don't think you're crazy at all. I carry all this but not in a duffle bag. I leave it in my car. If shit gets that bad where i need a plate carrier and duty belt, if i can't get to my car with just my glock 17 ccw I'm probably fucked anyway. I definitely keep all my gear in my room at night. No reason to enter a fight underprepared unless they're barging un quickly and you don't have time, which isn't usually how it goes.
@@terrandysart3587 car load outs are loot drops for thieves
@@yyyobwoc if someone breaks into the trunk of a 2012 toyota corolla and steals 2 glock mags, an ar15 mag, an ifak, and a plate carrier i think I'll live. It's definitely something to think about though.
I think you need to make a video
lol leave the bag and go to therapy
I have a suppressed rifle and sling. My chest rig includes eye pro, gloves, and electronic ear buds. I have a plate carrier and helmet with NODs in the rare chance I have enough time.
Well thought out! I go with a short 5.56 just because I haven't taken the .300 plunge yet. And I use a padded war belt as my emergency grab with similar items, plus a pistol, just because I can get it on very fast. In the event I have to deal with law enforcement/first responders I feel like a holster pistol gives me options to be armed but easily present myself as non threatening compared to a slung carbine.
Excellent content. The 300 Blackout option is critical for home defense, especially using subsonic rounds. You have to consider the likelihood that a round may penetrate walls and that is why the 300 BLK is so useful. I have a 10.3 DD with Dead Air Sandman. No Laser just the Surefire upfront. Chem lights are a great addition. I like your Flash bang suggestion.
Honestly, a 300 BLK sub-sonic out of a 10.3 barrel WILL go thru multiple walls regardless. And most tests show almost any caliber wil with today's loads.
Look into the Underwood Maximum Expansion 194 grain rounds. They’re about as good as it gets at avoiding overpenetration with a 30 cal round.
im the guy with teh 556 red dot and light that u mentioned at the end. and i also LOVE the chem light idea front porch etc.
Thanks. Very insightful
Great Info. Spiritus always comes thru.
Glad you found it helpful
My home defense set up is a 11.5 556 bcm rifle with a mod light okw and trijicon mro
I have been back and forth on SIG 300BLK, reviews are all over the place
BRN-180S in 300blk
All the reports I’ve seen from the guys that this gun was MADE for (Tier 1 units) love it. It’s a very specific gun. It’s made for CQB and nothing else. If you understand that it’s a tool with a very specific purpose it’s a phenomenal gun. I own a canebrake and have absolutely nothing but good things to say about it (aside from the charging handle replace that)
I use the 5.11 2 banger. My personal use for my grab and go.....also have mini chem lights to mark my family or even the intruder that is down. So response units are aware on who is friendly and who is not for the reason if there is danger while getting to our "safe zone" during the lull in the fight
I hate to burst your bubble but I don't care what color chemlight you're wearing or you stacked on the dead bodies or what. When the cops show up everyone's a bad guy until they are not.
@Dennis Richard lol I know that's exactly why I've chemlights LEO'S are all shit shows.... they are horrible at there job. Probably trust about 2%
We use boomerangs for house invasion. Great vid & very informative. Cheers mate.
Start blowing a didgeridoo to confuse them on your location in home.
Thanks for the video!
Well thought out
I run a 5.56 AR with one green tip mag and two spare FMJs. Eotech, sling and sure fire scout. Back up is a Roland Special Glock 19
Why green tips? Pretty inferior round for self defense as far as I can tell.
I like that MCX stock setup!
do you know what stock it is?
Short 300 BO is hard to beat for this set up. I like keeping a 20 round mag in the gun to make it even more compact with 2 30 round backups.
Only thing I would change is using a minimalist plate carrier instead of a chest rig, only adds about 8lbs total and can be put on just as fast as a chest rig.
Awesome content y'all. I keep a Mossberg 940 with a 7 round Esstac placard and a TLR-2 handy. A mystery ranch hip monkey with slugs/buck is nearby too and I've looped a FHF pouch to it with quick-clot, tq and basic med. I know, fudtastic.
Sounds like a great setup. Hope youve got some ear pro to go with that kit though lol
Great stuff
Great video!
Great thinking on deescalation. Many people are so caught up in their LARPing fantasy that they don’t consider direct violent engagement for how serious it is.
Very helpful!
I still think the shortie 300 blackout with subs is the best home defense weapon. So great choice with the rattler.
I keep a 10.5 5.56 with sound mitigation, coupled 30 pmags and my wife has a pistol on her side, reflex and 1200L lights, most of all practice, she's high and covered and I'm lower first line advancing
Coupled mags are money. I’m sure you have the best ammo in your mags but if you just have 55gr loaded, through some 77gr otm in those mags or some 64 gr federal powershoks. The powershoks in my experience with pig hunting is fantastic
@@mateo1726 have some ope tip match 77gr(otp) plus some Hornady 55gr and a few others, good looking out though on the suggestion my brother in arms
Excellent and informative video. Working towards better kit. Currently AR15 11.5 with red dot & WML, plate carrier, belt/holster. Next up suppressor, chest rig & helmet. NVG’s when I sell my condo.
Or a kidney. 😉
An Afghanistan idea, the first mag being a 100rnd drum that you can dump before even doing one mag change is a lesson that I will keep with me. A lesson that takes back the initiative with violence of action. Something to ponder.
One could put a night vision or thermal scope extender in line with the optic so it is there ready to go. Or be removed with quick release adapter.
Stupid little thing I taught in my classes, and recommended while behind tin, keep a spare house key on a chem light, where you can throw it out onto the lawn, to allow LE to get inside without having to break your door/doorframe.
$2.50 beats $1000 every day.
You open the door or window to throw a key out...why not just keep the door unlocked at that point?
@@winny94968 M Dubya is allowing the police to clear the house while the home owner is hunkered down in a room with a locked door. This is a safer way to have your house cleared. Allow the cops to clear the home while sectioning yourself off the rest of the house. The math changes if you have others living with you. However, this is very good idea of a chem light on a key ring. I have heard another officer talking about having a laminated floor plan attached to the key that homeowners can throw out the window for cops.
@@winny94968 Wonderland has it right. You hole up in a safe place and let the police take care of the problem.
Let them take on the liability, the risk. They have lights, armor, radios, backup and the backing of the cities (or county) insurance policy if anything goes wrong.
If you find someone in your home, what are you going to do with them? Most of us aren’t carrying a set of handcuffs in our pajamas.
Let the cops deal with the intruders, and let the cops come to you. Stay on the phone with 911, and ride the situation out.
@@Tinker.Studio It’s a stealth factor, the bad guy(s) don’t hear them enter, and you don’t have the damage to deal with. And if it ends up being someone who doesn’t need shot, you aren’t trying to find a contractor for the door and frame.
Didn’t the shithead in your house already “ open” the door/window…just sayin???
*Solid vid sir*
Awesome set up. What pouch did you use for the trifold restraints ?
I’ve never thought of using a flash bang in my own house lol. What a great idea I can’t imagine to many dirtbags waiting around to see what happens next.
Great for the wife to have also, she would have problem using ot
I guess maybe some simple passive security measures for the home. Lights, cameras,etc.
Those too!
Which Dead Air muzzle device are you using? I just purchased a keymicro flash hider w/ sig taper and am trying to find out if I still need to use the Sig taper cap or not that comes with the Sig Rattler.
Any input is appreciated!
I just rock a suppressed 11.5” LMT with a magpul 60 round drum mag. My plate carrier is in my closet with the rifle but I don’t expect to have the time to do anything but grab the rifle and lock down the steps. Figure 60 rounds of Speer gold dots will do the trick.
Let's hope youre right!
Add a bayonet in case it doesn't
Imbaaaaaackkkkkk- If nothing else, it's a good start. Being able to fight your way to your next weapon and ammo stash is a good strategy. That IS what you're thinking, right???
PSA: The "flash bang" in this video is strictly just a loud boom, it's not a regulated explosive device. VERY BIG difference between a non regulated "distractionary" device and a legitimate EOD regulated by the ATF/mil/Gov agencies
@@ronfurro4161 hes talking about the law of using destructive devices and what happens post use in court bud
@@ronfurro4161 Yea that shit went right over your head.
Where can I find these? Everywhere I look says sold out
Rex Gunderson: I like M-80's with the fuse trimmed about half way down(you GOTTA experiment with those to get your timing right). It's not an "exact science", and there are flaws and disadvantages to this system, but they work. Unless you're a highly trained operator, it's human nature to look at something that you hear hit the floor. The flash and boom, if nothing else, will scare the hell out of them, hopefully sending back out. If not, go back to plan A. Roman Candles make a great deterrent, too!!!
I've used and had "real" flashbangs used against me. They not at all as bad as people think they are.
The kits I run for home defense have a pistol on them in case your rifle goes down, and I also keep a cellphone on the kit for obvious reasons.
Do it up
Looking at the rattler or highly considering the Sig MCX tacops with the Midwest aftermarket rail. Any input from the interwebz?
Awesome breakdown only thing I would add is if u have time when ur calling 911 give them a description of urself and what ur wearing quick and simple description “blue jam jams or the naked guy kitted out with NVG’s”. Last thing u want is to get smoke checked when ur the good guy
A well setup weapon should always be the start point for a civilian looking to defend house and home. Also, a kit similar to this, is the ideal setup for a concerned citizen that's looking to increase their lethality and capability. Full war kits are awesome, and shouldn't be discredited, but the average person needs to be honest with themselves. There are not many plausible scenarios where defending your home will require 7 extra mags, armor, Crye clothing, etc.
Have you considered putting hsgi tacos on the front? Can either hold extra mags or whatever else you may need
12.5” 5.56 with a can. I use it as truck gun and home defense.
that height over bore reminds me of that new skinny skyscraper in new york
Apartment/ suburb setups. What
weapon platform/ammunition should be your go to if you have neighbors close by?
Shotgun with bird shot, and extra rounds on a side saddle
Chest rig as a sling is a pretty pretty great idea. Me personally, 556 carbine suppressed with a light+red dot and my plate carrier next to it. I've got the carrier setup so that i can slide in with one cummerbund already set like it needs to be and the other i can fairly quickly apply because its an AC1 using the velcro on top method. I've tested it a couple times and am happy with it, but definitely want to test it more. I do like the concept that lighter projectiles don't over penetrate as much as heavier ones, but the sound benefit of 300blk is definitely a weighted benefit. Great things to consider, especially having layers of kit available if time is available. Kind of like layering kit with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd line concepts, it could easily be applied to most any plan or gear layout.
Airsoft flashbangs are something i picked up a while back but haven't had the chance to mess with them. Great consideration as well. I might need to drop a mag and add one to mine. I'm using the Airsoft Innovations reusable flashbangs that have adjustable timing, they use powder actuated nail gun charges, they're basically 22lr blanks that you can buy at hardware stores or online.
@@Millstone_Justice I was considering doing a wall hanger, recently, thats not a bad idea either.
Thoughts on mounting a tourniquet on the rifle for home defense assuming it's the only thing you grab?
More AR's?? Everyones 'rocking'/'running' AR's. What's your opinion on the GSH-23 parts kits available? I think it would be great for broader area defence, like a neighborhood, sporting event, or outdoor bbq...
My budget kit: maverick 88 ($250 + $50 for shells) + used g17 ($300) + 2 mags ($30)
My dream kit: 300 BLK SBR honey badger + glock 19 mos
Well done, thank you for your insight. I run simular kit for home defense as you, with the exception of a battle belt and MK18 clone. Unfortunately, I cannot find a flash-bang or two at this time.
The one is tag innovation you could probably get them from an airsoft store, I have a few lol
Wait until 4th of July, and you can get close enough.
I understand the suppressor argument, for communication and signature reduction. I err on the side of wanting to bring as much violence to the fight as possible, and have a unsuppressed SBR w/ 300blk supers. My wife and I have a rehearsed reaction plan, and I want everyone on my block to know that there is something going down in my house. But, my can lives on my micro chest rig to give me the option and expand my bubble a bit.
I’m using a db15 5.56 10”barrel 9.3” aero precision Handguard and using hornady critical defense 55g
Milsurp six mag bandolier is very handy.
Adam make a video of what your EDC is bro!
Adam is a G
Bayonets for home defense are a must.
Why not a full length sword
@@Token_Black_Guy could be done if you have a can mounted
@@Token_Black_Guy the way you attack with the two is completely different.
What pouch are you keeping the flex cuffs?
What pouch are you keeping the chemlight dispenser in?
I love in a not so great area i use some of your products and i have a plate carrier but i think for a quick run and go set up im gunna run a mk5 and i agree 100% with you on time but im curios if you guys could give more examples of setups with the mk5 im a visual person and i like to see how i can use the equipment im 100% believe what worls for you might not work for me but its nice to see what the possibilities are
Subs or supers in the rattler for your hd set up ?
In one of the home defense videos made by warrior poet society, he talks about not wanting to use suppressors so the neighborhood is alerted to an issue. However 300BLK supers and 5.56 are loud, so I installed a long linear comp to keep noise lower on my end but loud on the receiving end.
My question however is your opinion on the suppressor used in the home: let me know what you think!
I wouldn't recommend shooting unsuppressed in your house. Especially when ear protection isn't easily accessible
Have you ever shot a 5.56 indoors, at night? Not only will you now not be able to hear anything for the rest of the fight, your vision is going to be really hindered by the muzzle flash of 5.56 or .300 out of an SBR. I run a 5.56 SBR, with a Sig QD can, and Peltor ComTac hearing pro, and its still quite loud. I care much less about my neighbors hearing whats happening than me being able to still hear the intruders movements.
I believe in a future video, John retracted that and now supports suppressed.
I just set my house up like Kevin McAllister. Micro Machine's are hard to come by, but the cans of paint, irons and blow torches can all be gotten from the local hardware store
do you keep batteries in your nods?
Quite old but I think something important you missed that is overlooked with a lot of dude's kits is a pair of gloves and maybe even like food, water, candy or chocolate. A lot of times it can help people calm down even little kids. The gloves is for anything for things sensitive to the hands. Not sure if you covered that, good video. Telling people use what you got, instead of investing hundreds in gucci setups.
My ideal legal minimum lethal option is an 11.5" AR "pistol"+Redi-mag × 2 P-Mags loaded w/ Hornady Black HD-SBR. Surefire light, quality red dot, Blast shield type muzzle device, Tourney strapped to the sling. A wide sling, like a Troy. It allows better attachment of pouches to the sling for things like ifak guts, chemlights, flex cuffs, skittles, whatever... Spare hand held light clipped to sling for signaling or PID without brandishing. Sure it's a bulky bastard, but it's just for the inside of my house and the edge of the driveway. I'm not trekking Argandab with it.
Bluetooth earmuff-pro connected to phone and staged on the rifle prior to bed time.
I always at least wear Gym shorts and a shirt to bed because no one wants to be naked during a house fire or worse, however, if I were, everything I'm taking to the fight is with the gun.
Bump in the night? Throw on earpro, grab rifle kit, Throw phone and spare light in pocket, then investigate.
I dont know about yours, but My earmuff-pro amplifies ambient noise, like the sounds people would make trying to quietly move through my place, or root through my stuff.
Bad time happens? My hearing is preserved, and more than likely, everyone else's is probably not. I'll bet money that my voice is probably still louder than any hearing damage they may have suffered. That's their chance to comply or flee, unless they're smart enough to bypass the security measures and get the drop on me.
My ideal but somehow not legal less-lethal option is command operated 9 bangers with cans of mark9 strapped to them strategically placed throughout and just outside of but within the curtilage of the home. I get a proximity sensor notification of dummys trying to do dumb things, I throw on as promask and hit a few clackers to complicate their life before throwing on a boondock saints esq vest loaded with multi shot tasers, bangers, Hornets nests and a nice glock34 blaster with all the fixings in case diplomacy fails.
Pipe dreams, I know, but one can dream.
Do you run supers or subsonics? Any preference on home defense ammo?
Idk what type of plate carrier you are used to but it referencing to it take too long to put on but from my experience training is everything and you can don a plate carrier just as fast as that chest rig depending on your load Out and set up. Also you gain armor which could save your life.
I appreciate the video and I also appreciate the honesty about all the things you have that you'll probably never need or never have an opportunity to get to.
The problem becomes if you tell people they'll never have an opportunity to use it but you have it just on the very very slim chance they're going to run off and add it to their plate carrier cuz some professional online told him to do so but they're never going to train with it.
I guarantee you there's not a single person that has cleared a house in a CQB course and then pulled a chemlight from an admin pouch and tossed it out the front window. So when not very very very rare chance that you actually do start putting bullet into a target comes, ninety-nine percent of the s*** on your person other than the firearm and maybe the flashlight and cell phone or going to be forgotten. When the shooting stops people are going to be barricading themselves in a safe place we're going to check on their kids and wife and dog.
Nice 👌🏼
I like the setup you didn't discuss bullet pen though which I think is an important aspect of home defense.
The MAWL 😍
what pouch is that with the flexcuffs in them?
My handgun is always my “get to my
Rifle” tool. Doesn’t change when it comes to the home. Even though Like my panzer bp12 over my AR cus I usually have beowulf upper on it. Although, a 50beo hollow point would have some INSANE short range stopping power-🤷♂️
Most of my beowulf mags have those hornady FTX 370 grain beasts in them. I bet a single round center mass would do the same as a 12g. I haven’t tested over penetration on the rounds though like I have with buckshot 2-3/4
What are you wearing on your right wrist? I’m guessing some kind of fitness tracker or something like that. I’m super curious lol 🤙🏻
Flash bang I didn't even know you could get those
