i was out walking with my buddy once and we had my air rifle with us just to kinda pop off at trash or whatever. he pumped it up abt 12 times and screamed “360 NOSCOPE!” and spun around, and instead of the thousands of square feet of concrete around us, he shot it straight into my foot. this was years ago and the pellet is still stuck in my foot. true S Tier trickshot. i’ll never forget.
It's important that we never should fully grow up. I try to keep some of that childhood magic and then weaponize against starchy old grownups . I'm 45 yrs old and people half my age call me childish, that means I'm winning 😏
I tried that before in real life and almost twisted my knee, although I was jumping from top of some boxes to the floor about 6 feet below. My sister-in-law is a pretty big try hard in COD multiplayer and she's actually really good at doing 360 no scopes in multi. 😄
Never before has so much great cinematography, agility, stunt-shooting (?) and production been applied to do things so monumentally stupid. GREAT VIDEO! You guys rock.

About the drop shot: Henry Dick Thompson, notable SOG warrior and has been on Jocko podcast several times, he trained to do this and used it quite effectively in ‘Nam. CAR-15 with 20rd mags. He said when those AKs go full auto they rise, so if the first rounds missed you and you get down quickly, you had more time to engage and a pretty high chance of surviving the contact.

True professionals. Kept control of the guns. Took their fingers off the triggers mid flight. Absolutely brilliant. Usually id be terrified watching people try this. But you guys are dope
Not posting this to say you are wrong but there is at least one shot of Mike that he still has his finger on the trigger but was able to land with it on the trigger and not squeeze a round off. I think that is pretty impressive also.

Well that's definitely the case for call of duty, as headshot multipliers actually being useful is rare. Except in black ops 2 with the scar-h, god I love that gun and game. You could 2 shot the head in closer range. Scar-h with a suppressor and stacked up on perks = one of the best Loadouts in all of call of duty.
@@Ripa-Moramee Ive only played CoD 2 and i remember that aiming for the head was a bad idea with the exception of situations where the head was the only part of the enemy that was exposed. I never got into any subsequent CoD installments (excluding single player campaigns) and i went from CoD 2 straight to CSS. I had to unlearn aiming for the chest and learn to aim for the head instead. Headshots only servers helped a lot.
@@Likexner There are other examples, take the game I mentioned before, black ops 2. The SVU draganov could 1 shot the head up to a certain range (I'm almost 100% sure it wasn't at any range). At the end of the day though, generally in cod you aim for the body. Chances are you are gonna win a gun fight 9/10 times so long as you can track and hit more shots than your opponent, regardless of where the shots hit.
@@Ripa-Moramee In CoD2, the drop'n'shoot strategy was actually useful with auto guns, especially the stg44. You could start shooting before you were even 100% on target, aim high, drop while doing it and thanks to the stg44's vertical spray pattern with very little horizontal spread, you had a good chance of hitting the head at some point. If not, the shots would still at least hit the neck and chest. So in specific situations, you could target the head in a way. It was more about using inaccuracy to your advantage than trying to score precise hits.
If there's ever gonna be a second video like this i'd love to see you two try quick peeking like you could do quickly in Rainbow 6 in the good ol' days

@@freerunner1953 Since they're trained well, they probably could turn the safety off right when they're about to shoot so it's not so dangerous to do the slide. I mean, Mike turned the safety off mid-jump, so mid-slide shouldn't be that hard to do in comparison.

The dual wield pistols being 0/10 is accurate. Have you seen the criminal trying to rob the gun store while wielding two pistols? He had the drop on the store owner and the store owner still had time to draw and put hits on target to end the threat. It's hilarious.
A MACV-SOG operator actually trained something like the drop shot in case of an ambush and used it in combat to eliminate two NV combatants...wild story from a wild group.
as a Max Payne fan, I've expected to see the iconic dual berettas jump out of the corner but anyway these tests look great, thank you P.S.: there are still a lot of video games tactics that could be tested in a real life, would be fun to see
@@42crazyguy Yeah they're all really dangerous but at least with the drop shot stuff they had 3 points of contact decent control over the weapon even with the added lack of control of falling/impact. Doing anything falling and shooting with 2 pistols with 1 point of contact each is just begging for a Darwin award it's on a completely different scale of dangerous.
Bit of trivia, The SOG guys during Vietnam would drill diving for cover while dumping a full mag from a car-15 at multiple targets, basically drilling if you suddenly find yourself 15ft from an enemy patrol, and some of them apparently got pretty good at it. Not a situation you want to be in for sure. But in the jungle, shit can come at you out of nowhere.
I was actually coming into the comments to mention this. I've also seen it done lots of times by troops from several nations in some older 1960-1980 war footage. And a few times in WWII footage - usually when there's sudden incoming ambush fire from a nondescript direction.
SF Vietnam SOG warrior Dick Thomson used the drop shot. He talked about it on the Jocko podcast. He tells a story where he got a drop shot triple kill on VC while rescuing a downed helicopter crew by himself behind enemy lines in the jungles of Cambodia (after falling 120ft through the jungle canopy). Probably the greatest war story I’ve ver heard, everyone should go listen.
There were some points where safety almost went out the window. It sucks to off yourself accidentally in real life while jumping to the ground and firing at the same time.
You guys are awesome. I love that Mike laughs out loud at himself. Also I love some of the things you’re friends have said about Sonoran desert Institute
The fact he used MW2(2009) clips to demonstrate WHAT a Trickshot IS, makes me wish I could subscribe twice... My bond with Garand Thumb has just grown SUBSTANTIALLY😅
@@mikeyplayzwrld The fun is enjoying the experience and having a laugh with the randoms in the lobby. Unless you were trying to go pro, it was never about the win.
As far as the drop shot. I was watching an interview with a veteran of MAC V SOG. Where this veteran would practice a drop shot. With a CAR-15, with a 20 round magazine. Now according to the interview, he was capable of shooting between 3 to 5 man sized targets at 10 yards.
Those guys had weeks long stretches of downtime with nothing to do but get hammered and brainstorm, then practice with the most ridiculous and absurd tactics and homemade equipment you can imagine. It's fantastic.
I believe you’re referring to the jocko podcast with “Frenchman” Doug Letourno(sp?). Seems like a viable tactic for someone if they’re short, starting in a crouch already, and have a LOT of practice.
@@paulwilliams667 Out of all of them it seems the most plausible irl, it could catch someone off and be a good move if you yourself aren't already in position. But just already being down or holding a position is infinitely better. Better to drop shooting if you can be accurate with it then just hit the ground, cause if you just stand there and fire you're dead. Sorta like the anti knife moves in martial arts. You absolutely never want to be in a position where you have to go bare hands vs someone with a knife. But if you do, well here is a move that might save your ass.
@@johnqpublic2718 what are you even talking about? I've never heard the words "drop shot" until I watched this video, but what I said is a factual account of what they did.
I think it would be an interesting concept to try and recreate a Medal of Honor citation, and showcase just how insanely above and beyond it was, even on a range with no danger.
You definitely deserve to win a court case of self defense if you're trick shotting for pride points, and still end up winning. Your entertainment is priceless.❤
Primary Arms honestly has the best customer service i have dealt with in recent history. What a great sponsor. You guys are Amazing too! Content is both interesting and funny. Thank you guys and keep up the good work.
Honestly I would not have said anything but I recently interacted with their customer service and they emailed me on Thanksgiving day. They were amazing and over a 30 dollar part.
The guys in MACV SOG, interviewed on the Jocko podcast, said they trained to jump to prone while simultaneously shooting at a target. It was to be able to minimize themselves in case of an ambush or surprise engagement. So, not just for the videogames 😘
I was gonna say, there are probably a few niche scenarios where it would actually have some benefit to train how to do it properly. What you mention would be one of them.
Crushing every action dream I've had after plying call of duty and gaining a completely false belief of my raw combat experience, while educating and entertaining me, can't complain!
@@troelsspeedtsberg3499 Thats the comment I was looking for, getting big is one thing. But getting swole like that and the deep voice ist a giveaway too...
Another one you should do is prefiring, set up a target past a wall (the shooter shouldn't know the targets precise location). Have the shooter full auto the wall as he peeks, and fire non stop till he hits the target
I love the serious and informative mixed in with the fun and ridiculous videos. Really glad weve got guys like you and mica doing this stuff. Keeps it light but drops some serious info every once and a while. Keeping us both informed and entertained. Keep doing what your doing. Out here doing gods work.
Fun fact both Major Dick Thompson and John Stryker Meyer (Tilt) both used the drop shot in training during their time in MACV SOG and got very good with it
I heard about a U.S. soldier in Vietnam who fired 2 handguns at the same time. He was alone and wasn't going for lethality, but for suppression. I think he magdumped both guns and dipped. Apparently in that context it worked.
I think it was Carlos Hathcock. The story as I remember it was he ran through an enemy camp firing his 2 1911s (I believe they were his and his spotters sidearms). They were taken unawares and panicked thinking they had been raided by a large force, and in the chaos he slipped away. I'm sure its not too hard to look up the full story.
(Paused at 13:28) NGL this particular move scares me as a real life attempt. I have tried akimbo and found out very quickly my target’s shoes were in the most danger as my weak hand just drove almost every shot into the ground. I held my breath as the thought of braining oneself on the leap shooting happened. But jump spinning just means you intentionally flag everyone in the process. Glad you guys use static cameras.
It's amazing how much we end up learning from your videos that are supposed to just be entertaining and ridiculous, they often turn out to be more informative than anything else.
These were actually some relatively decent to perform stunts. Plenty of people have fallen head onto their tool only to be ended by it right there. Glad ya'll did these in a safe and fun way!
I'd like to see more of this. In the original The Last of Us game Joel gets his foot caught, he's suspended upside down and he has to shoot that way while a group of infected run at him. I would like to see that scene recreated on Garand Thumb.
I just want to say that I am impressed with how you guys haven't let the sponsors and risk of losing money change your decisions. Most RUclipsrs do more crazy stuff to start out their careers then get super politically correct, super safety oriented, and sponsor oriented. Keep being kids!
I remember being told in the 90s that, "You can't make money playing video games!" Now in 2023 people are making money from people WATCHING them play video games. Then Garand Thumb says, "Hold my beer" and proceeds to make a living doing in real life what others only can do in video games. We truly have gone full-circle from reality to digital reality and back again! 😆

Not a situation you want to be in for sure. But in the jungle, shit can come at you out of nowhere.
Dude have u been on a SOG reading binge as well? Absolute F*ing legends all of them, those stories will live rent free with me for the rest of my life
I was actually coming into the comments to mention this. I've also seen it done lots of times by troops from several nations in some older 1960-1980 war footage. And a few times in WWII footage - usually when there's sudden incoming ambush fire from a nondescript direction.
max payne style
SF Vietnam SOG warrior Dick Thomson used the drop shot. He talked about it on the Jocko podcast. He tells a story where he got a drop shot triple kill on VC while rescuing a downed helicopter crew by himself behind enemy lines in the jungles of Cambodia (after falling 120ft through the jungle canopy). Probably the greatest war story I’ve ver heard, everyone should go listen.
Fuck yes
It saved my ass during an ambush.
It was a lot of fun to watch you guys having so much fun, and I'm glad you were able to do it safely. Thanks for putting this together!
There were some points where safety almost went out the window. It sucks to off yourself accidentally in real life while jumping to the ground and firing at the same time.
Everyone should google your name
@@fallinginthed33pif the muzzle stays forward of all major organs, risk is minimised.
USS Cole and John O'Neil
@@majestic._ Thanks! That's the point of it. It's also great to hear Japanese vtubers say "USS Liberty Incident" lol
You guys are awesome. I love that Mike laughs out loud at himself. Also I love some of the things you’re friends have said about Sonoran desert Institute
As a gamer and gun guy, this was one of the most entertaining videos I've ever seen 😂
The fact he used MW2(2009) clips to demonstrate WHAT a Trickshot IS, makes me wish I could subscribe twice... My bond with Garand Thumb has just grown SUBSTANTIALLY😅
I miss those days, when people actually played for the fun of it instead of for the win...
thinking the same thing
@@hirigonemw2 2009 has a client called iw4x and it had a very active commutiny and theres multiple trickshot servers. its amazing.
@@hirigoneThe fun is winning.
@@mikeyplayzwrld The fun is enjoying the experience and having a laugh with the randoms in the lobby. Unless you were trying to go pro, it was never about the win.
It’s painful how good Mike was at those techniques
14:28 - 14:50 Thank you for that! I laughed so hard. 🤣
I can't get over how majestic he looks in every slowmo
fr 😂
mike's first drop shot was performed amazingly i am very impressed with it great job
The camera work is pretty awesome. Cinematic, Great content! On slowmo, looks slick. Looked like a fun day out.
Thought it was going to be corny and overplayed but it was really good.
7:21 course he uses MWs broken over under shotgun for the peeking 😉😂
As far as the drop shot. I was watching an interview with a veteran of MAC V SOG. Where this veteran would practice a drop shot. With a CAR-15, with a 20 round magazine. Now according to the interview, he was capable of shooting between 3 to 5 man sized targets at 10 yards.
Those guys had weeks long stretches of downtime with nothing to do but get hammered and brainstorm, then practice with the most ridiculous and absurd tactics and homemade equipment you can imagine. It's fantastic.
I believe you’re referring to the jocko podcast with “Frenchman” Doug Letourno(sp?).
Seems like a viable tactic for someone if they’re short, starting in a crouch already, and have a LOT of practice.
@@paulwilliams667 Out of all of them it seems the most plausible irl, it could catch someone off and be a good move if you yourself aren't already in position. But just already being down or holding a position is infinitely better. Better to drop shooting if you can be accurate with it then just hit the ground, cause if you just stand there and fire you're dead.
Sorta like the anti knife moves in martial arts. You absolutely never want to be in a position where you have to go bare hands vs someone with a knife. But if you do, well here is a move that might save your ass.
@@Centermass762thats not how their training for hipshot and dropshots worked. At all
@@johnqpublic2718 what are you even talking about? I've never heard the words "drop shot" until I watched this video, but what I said is a factual account of what they did.
I think it would be an interesting concept to try and recreate a Medal of Honor citation, and showcase just how insanely above and beyond it was, even on a range with no danger.
That’s an awesome idea! Would love to see that
There is a Netflix series that kinda does this already called medel of honor. They reenact the moments as well with a pretty decent budget.
They will go through an insane amount of cardboard targets doing that. Totally worth watching.
This is why I love this channel. Goes from how to evade professional military’s in the mountains all the way to drop shotting with a mp5.
I’d love to see a part 2 with Quick Scoping, Wall Mounting, and Cover Fire (no ADS) . This video was 🔥🔥🔥
As a gamer, enjoyed this video A LOT 😂 Great work putting together virtual and real world experiences. 10/10
You definitely deserve to win a court case of self defense if you're trick shotting for pride points, and still end up winning.
Your entertainment is priceless.❤
Can you imagine the replay in the courtroom with CCTV footage? I guarantee someone is going to react 😂
@@xavierwilmerng6317 uhhhh a fresh Looking 360 right there and there goes the Victims Head 🤣
@@xavierwilmerng6317your honor, it’s not homicide if I hit that 360 no scope
You can tell how much fun they both had making this.
Hahahaha mike looking majestic flying through the air made me laugh every time
Must have gotten that military grade drywall from JBLM north fort barracks.
REAL
Looks a lot like the barracks at Fort Sam. The Ceiling tiles there were completely black in 2006.
Primary Arms honestly has the best customer service i have dealt with in recent history. What a great sponsor. You guys are Amazing too! Content is both interesting and funny. Thank you guys and keep up the good work.
Honestly I would not have said anything but I recently interacted with their customer service and they emailed me on Thanksgiving day. They were amazing and over a 30 dollar part.
The guys in MACV SOG, interviewed on the Jocko podcast, said they trained to jump to prone while simultaneously shooting at a target. It was to be able to minimize themselves in case of an ambush or surprise engagement.
So, not just for the videogames 😘
I was gonna say, there are probably a few niche scenarios where it would actually have some benefit to train how to do it properly. What you mention would be one of them.
Which episode?
@@ES1976-3 i think its one of the dick thompson episodes where he describes it. theyre all worth watching. SogCast is one of the best.
this is in a book I'm reading, a manual on special reconnaissance ops written by a SOF nam vet
It works in VR way to well
5:23 That dive was so majestic
Crushing every action dream I've had after plying call of duty and gaining a completely false belief of my raw combat experience, while educating and entertaining me, can't complain!
Anyone noticed how huge this man Mike has been looking? Good stuff man, keep up the great work 💪
Thicc Mike is best Mike 😚👌🏻
Yo for real. I haven’t watched his videos in about a year and had to make sure this was the same dude haha
"Hormone therapy" works great 👌🏻😅
@@troelsspeedtsberg3499 Thats the comment I was looking for, getting big is one thing. But getting swole like that and the deep voice ist a giveaway too...
TRT isn't a big deal.
Watching mike try the 360 no scope felt like I was watching a kid in his basement with a nerf gun😂
If Star Wars Kid was a really good at stuff = Mike
Another one you should do is prefiring, set up a target past a wall (the shooter shouldn't know the targets precise location). Have the shooter full auto the wall as he peeks, and fire non stop till he hits the target
Prime time battlefield
My childhood dreams being accomplished by the main character…
I appreciate you posting these videos. I don't get out shooting much as I'd like but seeing this does help make me happy. *Much Love*
It’s good to take a moment and make some fun videos. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
3:12 Video games should use this as a reference when animating. This looks so natural and perfect for a fast Stand to Prone position.
We gamers appreciate Garand Thumb acknowledging us in almost every video. I had to take a break from my Minecraft session to watch this video.
Mike and Micah are the only people I would be around to be doing this type of stuff
Couldn’t stop laughing at the 360 No Scope part. Get Rekt M8
14:09
Good to learn that they are not using DLC ammo but rather full power ammo
I love the serious and informative mixed in with the fun and ridiculous videos. Really glad weve got guys like you and mica doing this stuff. Keeps it light but drops some serious info every once and a while. Keeping us both informed and entertained. Keep doing what your doing. Out here doing gods work.
Fun fact both Major Dick Thompson and John Stryker Meyer (Tilt) both used the drop shot in training during their time in MACV SOG and got very good with it
Mike’s dolphin dive in slow motion actually looked super cool 😂 - especially with that epic sounding Ave Maria - true action movie vibes
I laughed way too hard when Mike said "Alright... 360 no scope..." before shooting hahaha
I heard about a U.S. soldier in Vietnam who fired 2 handguns at the same time. He was alone and wasn't going for lethality, but for suppression. I think he magdumped both guns and dipped. Apparently in that context it worked.
I remember that story the guy was a sniper from what I recall. Was it history Channel?
@@taylorbennion3706 can't remember where I saw it, but I think you're right about him being a sniper.
I think it was Carlos Hathcock. The story as I remember it was he ran through an enemy camp firing his 2 1911s (I believe they were his and his spotters sidearms). They were taken unawares and panicked thinking they had been raided by a large force, and in the chaos he slipped away. I'm sure its not too hard to look up the full story.
Sounds reasonably plausible.
This looks soo dangerous!
I love it!
5:20 i never thought i would see something like this irl 😂 it was EPIC
(Paused at 13:28) NGL this particular move scares me as a real life attempt. I have tried akimbo and found out very quickly my target’s shoes were in the most danger as my weak hand just drove almost every shot into the ground. I held my breath as the thought of braining oneself on the leap shooting happened. But jump spinning just means you intentionally flag everyone in the process. Glad you guys use static cameras.
You guys are really going wild at this point
Truly, we have reached peak Garand Thumb
It's amazing how much we end up learning from your videos that are supposed to just be entertaining and ridiculous, they often turn out to be more informative than anything else.
These were actually some relatively decent to perform stunts. Plenty of people have fallen head onto their tool only to be ended by it right there. Glad ya'll did these in a safe and fun way!
I'd like to see more of this. In the original The Last of Us game Joel gets his foot caught, he's suspended upside down and he has to shoot that way while a group of infected run at him. I would like to see that scene recreated on Garand Thumb.
I just want to say that I am impressed with how you guys haven't let the sponsors and risk of losing money change your decisions. Most RUclipsrs do more crazy stuff to start out their careers then get super politically correct, super safety oriented, and sponsor oriented. Keep being kids!
The transition from serious to pure joy is intoxicating.
I remember being told in the 90s that, "You can't make money playing video games!" Now in 2023 people are making money from people WATCHING them play video games. Then Garand Thumb says, "Hold my beer" and proceeds to make a living doing in real life what others only can do in video games. We truly have gone full-circle from reality to digital reality and back again! 😆
Just shows how Dumb down this country has become in the last 20 years,,, young people don’t even know what bathrooms to use,,,
@@timfink3145that's what every generation says about the next generation. But yea I gotta admit my younger generation ain't that smart.
