Lol why would anyone dislike the video? I'm a former Navy Special Operations, and weapons instructor. This guy is great. This is the first video I've seen of his. Its always good to steal great info from others 🙂. Good work and presentation brother
Appreciate the comment!
Small guy with a big gun. It's quite hilarious.
Because there are always haters. No matter what you do.
Everything you do in front of a camera sends a message to the person who watches it. Some subtle some are more obvious. Speech patterns and body language are almost more important then the message being delivered depending on the audience. Tactical Hyve appears to be elite in all aspects of his performance and that in itself will turn some people off. Grain o salt needs the internet.
If it turned out that a guy used this video to enhance his shooting abilities before he went to your kids school and headshot your kid three times would you dislike the video?
Im new to guns and I started a local range beginners course. An hour of my instructor bragging about how great a shot he was, told me to load my clip and shoot 10 rounds for "assessment" of where Im at, eventhough I told him many times lI'm new, brand new, green, totally first timer and called me out on everything I did wrong was totally humiliating and I just left. I wish you were closeby, you take the time to explain why and how to do it properly, Id really like to learn. Not feeling like trying again anytime soon, but just wanted to say thanks, the video makes me realize not all instructors are like the one I got.
Don't give up, my CCL teacher was a pain too (& I passed 100%), but I've kept going, met some really nice people, joined a club, & watch a lot of videos & I'm feeling so much better about it.
Yep. went to a gun range in Murfreeboro, TN and the range guy was a total jerk! My step son, who is retired Army and certified range officer was treated like a marine corp 1st day shooter by this trash. He is lucky that my step son, who is 90% disabled due to PTSD didnt clean his clock for him.
No coincidences. Very thorough video will help me develop better pistol habits, thank you Myles! 1) Stance 0:33 2) Grip 3:20 3) Support Hand 5:27 4) Trigger Pull 7:26 5) Sight Alignment/Picture 10:55 🤙🏽
Thank you for the time stamps.
Thank you.
🙄 this!!! Watching these vids and putting the priciples and tips into practice at the range has improved my shooting dramatically!
Thanks 😊
I've been instructing marksmanship fundamentals since the mid 90's. Started in military and now in law enforcement. Everything you just said is pretty much the same stuff I try to teach now. Great content and well presented. I may even play it during my next class so I don't have to talk as much.
Could you elaborate on the thumbs in line with slide??? I assuming your thumbs shouldn't even be touching the gun if
If in line with the slide...**
@@davekilberg8276 Thumbs full forward grip, placing both thumbs in contact with upper frame just below the slide. Although on lower bore axis models this can get trickier. CZ's are great for thumbs forward grip due to internal slide rails, Glocks have enough material below slide, along with Sig P226 and Walther models.
Shoot first, ask questions later is the main rule. I taught my kid this rule and never ever anything bad happened to him in the jail.
If you're teaching this same garbage, there's the reason cops are terrible in a gun fight. Very often you hear about cops shooting 7 to 10 shots and only hitting the perp once.
Flipping that gun around never once sweeps the camera man.... True professional need more like this
Looks like there is no cameraman, he’s got his cameras on a tripod... which is even more impressive and professional, ‘cause he doesn’t even need to have people around him to remember safety. It’s so second nature that he does it even when he’s alone!

@@quiggs8361 Yep! Habits, habits habits. I've only been shooting a few years and now it seems unnatural to even point a Nerf gun at someone.
@@tommurphy4895 Teaching my kiddos ( 8 & 9) about basic gun safety. Youngest handed the pistol back to me while aiming it at me.... hah. (Obviously I triple checked that it was empty). She'll learn though! At least her finger wasn't on the trigger!
I recently just bought my first gun, and this one video has taught me more than any other video. Its intimidating and seems easy in ones mind, until you get to the gun range. And having no one to help or teach these things, leads one to RUclips where this video alone gave me much needed clarity as to why I keep doing certainthings.... Thank You so much!
And also.... what kind of gun is this?! I really love that!
Yes this help me as well its nice when you know what you are doing is good
There is a lot to learn from you tube !!! Been around guns for 40 years and always keep my eyes open . life is a lot of fun with the right people.we are friends I think
@@jessicacrawford4767 we all want that gun and welcome to the community of owning a firearm
@@jessicacrawford4767 it kinda looks like the canik 55 or another one of the cz 75 clones, not sure.. i personally want the jericho 941 but it's impossible to find in Cali rn
It’s been about 10 years since I went and got my concealed hand gun license. I never ended up buying one. I bought my first hand gun 2 days ago. I watched your videos and went to the range yesterday. I felt much more confident about practicing safe range practices. I put almost all my rounds in a 5 inch shot group at 25 yards by the time I was done. Knowing why I pulled to the left and down on my first 5 rounds made it easy to adjust. I knew my grip was good and had my iron sights correct and my shooting posture. That meant it was how I was squeezing the trigger. I forgot to ensure I was pulling back with the meaty part of my finger. Having seen your videos allowed me to make the proper adjustment to fix my shot group and location. I will be taking some self defense classes soon and will be going to the range once a week as part of my continued education and training. Thank you for providing great content!
I thought you had a register the gun you intend to carry when you get your concealed carry permit? so at least in my state you wouldn't have even been able to get a concealed carry permit without already having a gun
@@autodidacticartisan Definitely not in Nevada. Idk where OP is from. You can borrow a gun here to pass your CCW.

@@nathmatillano omboo cooo
Man, this guy is a good teacher. Those graphics really drive the point home.
Glad you liked the video!
Awesome!
@@TacticalHyve a,
But why at 2:38 four rounds are fired, yet at 2:45 seven shots are shown?
It's an animation. It's not meant to match the number of shots actually taken--it's used to highlight a teaching point.
I am a new sshooter, and am making all 5 of the mystakes that were discribed. Thank you for the very clear explantions and demostrations. Prior to two weeks ago I had never held nor shot a handgun. I am looking forward to putting your information to good use.
9:30 that hilarious moment when a professional tries to shoot like shit and still does better than me trying my hardest to get it right.
The man has remarkable muzzle discipline. He doesn't drop the care just because it's just him and the camera. That, is how you develop great habits.
I noticed that right away. Good observation. Yes, his muzzle discipline was spot-on. Good for him in a training video.
@@jaybarrow6814 allaiaaaaaauaa>9 !9> zsdzsuj99aiaiaj99cIi9i9zi99zia
A
could you explain what's muzzle discipline? i know trigger discipline but this is the first time i heard of muzzle discipline.
@@smoadia85 Always never point the muzzle at something you do not want to shoot or would be bad, whether loaded or not. If he pulled the trigger he would not have hit the camera in this case.
He can't miss even when demonstrating the wrong way! Great presentation of the fundamental elements.
What I liked about the (minimal offset) missing sequence was his honesty. He did not purposely throw the shots farther to the left to force an exaggerated--and dishonest--shot group. In other words, he is genuine. Also, this in itself proves what may be the greater point: proper training & practice instill in us good muscle memory. This makes it harder to overcome the "good" habits that have become permanent. Remember, practice does not make perfect--instead, it makes things permanent. Under stress you are then more likely to do what is right.
what larry said.... but i am somewhat interrested in the pull weight of that trigger.
As a new gun owner and just recently completed my concealed carry course, the videos such as this, are extremely helpful to not only refresh the teaching points I learned
but furthering my education to become a better and more accurate shooter. Thank you so much for making them!
Welcome! It's all about continual learning and development, and a ton of fun too.
I just purchased my first 9 mm haven’t used a semiautomatic in years and found myself doing one of the other things that you shouldn’t do. Proper hand placement is a must I got a slide bite. It’s not the guns fault it’s mine but it’s a lesson learned thumb is almost completely healed.
Thank you for your videos
Thank you, Myles. Been teaching for more years than I will admit. I don't really research other instructors much anymore, but watching your short class here was fun for me. Shows that I really have been doing it right all these years. In my time we instructors learned by experience and observation relating to results, not so much reading and research. Seems all that experience paid off and showing by your demonstration here I observed the wrong things correctly. It's basically a confirmation of what I've been doing. Great demo....thanks again.
Thanks for the comment!
What type of holster is that he has ?
Im sure you are a very competent shooter. Even better than that, you have an excellent approach to teaching disciplines, not over-laboured, calm and very clear. Great production and very helpful, thanks!!
I love how this guy explains EVERYTHING & also DEMONSTRATES the proper ways 👏
Thank you for the tips. It’s been many years since I have been out at the range and your pointers were extremely helpful. I felt much less nervous and more confident in the fact that I was doing things correctly. I appreciate you!!
Outstanding instruction video. I learned a lot as a pistol newbie!
Excellent video, whether you’re a first time shooter, were in the military, law enforcement, or just an enthusiast for decades, the information is applicable to all with no wasted words.
That's not quite accurate.
Exactly
@Bilbo_Swagginz Same thing with general aviation airplanes. Pilots need to get back up into the practice area and re-learn to hold altitude while turning and also doing so while flying as slowly as possible. I fly airplanes better than I shoot, but there is a lot of similarity between the two when it comes down to disipline.
After watching this video last night, I couldn't wait to try these techniques first thing this morning. Within 10 rounds (2 sets of 5) my grouping size was cut in half and my grouping wasn't bad to begin with. Now they're almost stacking on each other. Great video. 👍
Absolutely great instructor. Clear and straight forward. Excellent !
This is the best teaching video I’ve ever seen on YT.
ddeewuygidcsdcewgisdcewgiswdwqgygiww 3
Good presentation. Many points to learn from. When I took my handgun training, many years ago, my instructor taught us the "target on sight" method. Reasoning: with target on top of sights, the shooter can see where the bullets are hitting the target. Other methods are "sight on target", where the sights are aligned with the center of the target. I do not know which method is best, but I fall back on my training and it has served me well for many years.
Myles, new shooter here…I’m a professional communicator. Your instruction along with the video editing is the among the most clear and concise I’ve seen. Excellent job.
Great video Miles. You are spot on with everything!! When I was a firearms instructor in the military, we always corrected man of your points. Well done.
Dude has built in gun safety.. Love it that he never points the muzzle of the gun at the camera.. Excellent advice and a great video for someone looking at how to handle their weapon.
Makes ZERO difference. A camera is not a person. Pointing at the camera could be perfectly safe (or not) depending on multiple factors that the video watcher has zero awareness of. Ridiculous how people want to fill the comments with muzzle discipline criticism (or, in this case, praise to indirectly criticize those who have committed the sin of pointing a gun at an inanimate camera) when they know nothing about the off-camera surroundings, including whether there is even another person in the area at all. Safety... of COURSE, but people need to get over their perfect selves and stop what I call "firearm-virtue-signaling".
P.S. If someone is stupid enough to shoot their own camera, the bullet still won't come through the screen when you watch the video... which I would definitely watch more than once while laughing my ace off.
Perfect video! This is exactly what I teach in my classes.
Great instructions/video...thank you!!
Thanks for the insights. I appreciate your time and efforts.
Excellent explanation and video. I am 51 and been shooting for nearly 35 years and learned a lot about what I have been doing wrong. I have spent many hours and countless dollars but was/am struggling with my master grip and sight alignment. I will put into place what you talked about and hope this will improve with time and practice. New subscribers here and love the content!!!
Glad you liked the video!
Awesome video! One of the best tips I read to fix trigger control issues is to practice dry firing while maintaining a perfect sight picture. That simple dry fire practice over a week took me from constant low left loose groups to tight bullseye shots repeatedly. It was all in the trigger pull.
The one thing that made my grip and trigger pull better was using a laser cartridge in my gun and firing at a target. I practice this, with my draw, every single day.
Great video and mind-blowing explanation of slapping the trigger on the 3rd tip. I've heard this taught a thousand times, but your thorough explanation in this video has helped me realize why I'm always either low-left or why the target always looks like I've been practicing with a shotgun instead of a pistol. Can't wait to hit the range and see how much this helps! Thanks! 🤯👍
Wow, I learned a lot in only 13 min. Thanks Myles!!!
I found this to be informative to the point of rectifying my stance and grip positions .
In any circumstance as such , practice and safety are key in achieving desired capabilities .
Knowing what you are capable of will put you far ahead of childish criticism .
i've had my pistol for 9 years. all day long, i can dry fire at home with an inverted .22 casing on top of the slide and it rarely falls. when i get to the range, my shots are always low and left. snap caps show that i flinch while anticipating recoil. my performance at the range leaves me discouraged, disappointed and embarrassed. i refuse to give up. i'm eager to employ Myles' techniques at the range. it's gonna be work but worth it. thank you sir.
I'd suggest starting with a .22 and working up the calibres. Check your grip, not only where but how you grip. Uneven pressure can cause issues. Get a revolver and get someone to put random empty cases in, check for flinches on the empties. Do more slow fire precision shooting, that shows up your technique very well. Lots of ways but good luck.
Uh, I was starting to get disappointed after 3 months (having problems with the trigger pull as well and squeezing it too hard when not focused enough). Great you don't give up. Don't want to give up either. Let's do training... and more training... ;)
My dearest Bob King. I don’t know the answer but we all have a little “LowLeft” in side of us. You can check grip and pressure. Finger position and dry fire. It’s the journey that makes it all worth it. The destination is never satisfying. Perfection is strived for but never achieved. I find talking shit at the range helps when I can’t quite shoot straight.
A lot of us have the anticipation flinch
Great video. I just shared with one of my friends who is quite new to shooting. The way you show and not just tell is fantastic. Very clear info demonstrated wonderfully. Looking foward to watching more videos
Love this guy. Such a professional instructor. He's so good at brealing down and explaining things to a total novice like me.
Fantastic teaching skills. Really gives great explanations to shot issues. Great content. 👍🏻
This is amazing... I can’t stress how coherent and vivid these instructions were. Thanks man
Glad it helped!
@@TacticalHyve The only thing that was not really clear based on what you said but was, based on how you demonstrated with the whole center of gravity thing. To be correct, you should say to lower your center of gravity by leaning forward. Your center of gravity stays right above your feet or you will fall over. As you lean forward, your butt goes back maintaining your center of gravity over your feet. Other than that minor criticism, I loved the video and it showed some very basic things that shooters without much training can use to vastly improve their shooting. Great job.
Replied to your previous comment....
Lowering your center of gravity is definitely important (we refer to it as the dead mass effect from the late Ron Avery) , but using forward center of gravity is correct. They are mutually exclusive. Without getting into the details in a comment, one must compensate for the rearward force of recoil. Dropping one's center of gravity does not cancel/balance out the opposing force--it just decreases it. Hope that makes sense.
@@IndyNewsontheStreet I tell my students "just stick your butt out..." true story.
Excellent information and presentation. Thank you
Great tips Myles! Thanks
Thanks - much appreciated!
Glad it helped!
One thing that helped me with grip was modifying my grip it until it automatically settled back on target after each shot. I found that the trigger control came automatically once grip was improved. After I got that, I just worked on speed.
Great instructions. Thanks!
So helpful!! Thank you
Great video. To the point, no wasted words and accurate. Always good to review the basics of marksmanship no matter how long you’ve been shooting. Well done sir!
Thanks!
Great video, from the rock solid fundamentals of shooting to the top notch safety practices and muzzle awareness. It's almost impossible to watch this and not come away better for having done so.
Great tips and well presented. I can't wait to get to the range and try them out.
Great instruction. Showing the comparisons between correct and incorrect application is wonderful.
Been trying to diagnose my trigger mechanics problem for months. Three Amigos..... It was that simple. Thank you, Sir.
I'm not new too shooting, a good portion of my life I've been a shooter but I still appreciated this. Solid essential fundamentals, reinforced & articulated efficiently.
Beautiful information. Thank you for posting.
Excellent video, thank you!
I’m getting my first handgun soon. Got a glock 19 gen 3. Excited to get these practices implemented straight away to hopefully evolve a little quicker as a shooter. Thanks for the tips!
Gen 3 Glock 19 is my gun too. Never had an issue with mine in 16 years. I carry it weekly.
@@colonelkurtz2269 Gen 5 here and already at the 10K round mark with no issues not a single malfunction yet.
Wow, finally a young instructor who discusses stance and stability, the need for cover in defensive shooting, and importance of smooth trigger pull. Upright isoceles is for glamour photos and ego competitions. In real life combat, good stance, move to cover then return fire. If you are a civilian with no body armor, don't square off to a target - you simply make yourself a larger target. Take a blade position to reduce tactical profile. Move to cover, then return fire, with which ever hand is available. Pratice shooting single handed with both strong and weak hand. A slow hit always beats a fast miss.
Like that officer responding in Baltimore. Found cover, rested his handgun up, and made an incredible shot.
Oh, while he was being shot at. Did I mention? He was also being shot at at the time.
Thanks for sharing!
@Tactical Hyve thank you for the video. Looks like I have to get my support hand higher. I do appreciate your pertinent advise. Cheers
That’s a dope ass holster. So simple and clean
IPSC rig
Yeah, good info, but I was really trying to zero in on that holster.
Scope out the Strike Industries Ichiro holster. You'll dig that too.
But not pratacle.
I love how every time he moved he was covering his foot. Hope he was wearing Kevlar boots.
Dry fire exercises are great for practicing grip and steady trigger pull. I still do them and I've been shooting for decades. Everything in this video are awesome teaching points and explaine the mechanics. The main thing to never forget is that you can ALWAYS learn something new.
Is it ok to dryfire a Pistol? I have a M&P Shield 2.0
@@onemorething100 Some can be dry fired, others can not. Look in the owners manual and it should tell you. The M&P's can be dry fired. I have the M&P 2.0 compact 9mm and I dry fire it daily while I am in the garage smoking my tobacco pipe. My Ruger SR9 says it will damage the magazine safety so I just removed the little piece with no problem dry firing now.
Really excellent and professionally presented review of shooting fundamentals. Thanks for taking the time to present it.
Super good explaining...just start..was of great help...thanks..
Great video.......as an instructor myself, I teach and reinforce the exact methods that you use and describe here. I also, like you.......like to explain why a student should use these techniques. I find that it helps them understand the reason behind what we teach them. A lot of instructors say “do this” but don’t explain why.......even if their methods are correct! Good job! I liked, subbed and sent this video to the team of instructors who work with me.
Awesome, thank you!
No
1st time gun owner and I just took my First Step class at a local range. While the instructor was great, this video reinforced and detailed a few things that were skimmed over that I didn't even realize. I really appreciate the stance instruction as seeing it done both ways was very helpful. Planning on doing a few private lessons before going to the range on my own, but will be keeping some of the details learned in this video in the back of my mind. Great job!
First Steps is typically a free class funded by the NSSF to get people in gun ranges/stores to buy guns. When I was an instructor at the biggest gun store/range in Tampa, it was taught by an Instructor who had only been an instructor for a short time and had no experience teaching law enforcement or military. Another instructor, who claimed to be a "competition shooter" had barely any skills than he did. Folks, vet your instructors. (That means, check their background, their experience). I get students in my classes all the time that say they trained with this instructor or that instructor and then they have horrible fundamentals and make every one of these 5 common mistakes and more. Their instructor took a 1 or 2 day course with the NRA and now all of a sudden they are AN INSTRUCTOR. No, no they are not. I gained my instructor skills in the Air Force working at the Security Police Combat Arms range. That's where I learned to teach people on the range how to shoot and what to fix to make them better shooters. I learned to teach in the classroom with Train the Trainer and other instructor development courses. When I went to the NRA Law Enforcement Pistol/Shotgun course, a 5-day course to teach cops and security officers, it was shooting intensive, are you a good shot? It wasn't about teaching students. Going to ILETA and other schools, have given me those skills to teach students in the classroom and on the range. If you're going to learn to shoot, why are you just going somewhere with a guy wearing a red shirt that claims to be an instructor? Are you going to buy a TV or a computer without first doing a little research and reading the reviews on it? Well yeah, many of you will. Why? Because of laziness. This RUclips/Tik Tok generation, doesn't actually want to read anything. How about first doing research on who is going to be teaching you, then maybe going to them. It might cost you a little more than the free First Steps class (remember, it's free cause they're trying to get you in the store to buy that crappy Taurus they have on sale for Memorial Day). I like this guy Myles and he's got some really good lessons. Seek people like him out but also, be wary of those on RUclips who claim to be "RUclips Instructors". Some are just good actors, who know nothing of shooting, but can make a snazzy video and, like that gun store owner/range, they're just trying to get your money. Vet your instructors folks. Train like you Fight, Fight like you Train, so Train Hard, Be Hard and Be Safe.
Thank you, great advice
What an informative training video! Probably one of the best instructors I have seen on RUclips. Thanks!!!
Such a quality video with quality info
Great video. I'd like to see the same for compact pistols. I find them much different to fire since, due to the nature of the beast, you can't get as much contact.
That was a really good and instructional video. Thanks much!!!
excellent feedback and comprehensive demo
Good job Myles. I enjoyed your video. It has had good interesting topics.
Glad to hear it!
The confidence that this guy exudes, is amazing!
Awesome straight forward instructions for any beginner, or anyone at all really. Thank you
Great shooting instructions! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great video--especially the consequences of doing it wrong! This is a basic element of any kind of instruction that is often left out: Knowing what it looks like when it's wrong helps develop a troubleshooting skill that is essential to getting it right. Very few teachers teach that element if self-efficacy--so thank you for giving us both shooting skills AND self-correcting skills! BTW, that is a beautiful pistol--what is it!
Agreed. Guessing it's a custom 1911.
Great video. Very informative and detailed. I especially like how you demonstrated the “wrong way” to do certain things and we can clearly see WHY they are wrong. It was kinda funny how you gripped the gun too low but still managed a very respectable group. I’ve been an instructor of many things physical but found that demonstrating the “wrong way” to do them was almost impossible. Muscle-memory and repetition sometimes doesn’t allow you to do it very wrong. I saw that happen to you and I had to laugh.
First time watcher and now a subscriber. Keep up the great content and ignore the idiots in the comment section.
Peace and aloha to you and happy shooting. 🤙🏼
Thanks! Learning so much from the channel.
Thank you for this❤
Good teacher.
Thank you
Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for this excellent video! Used to shoot lots of competitions from bullseye to USPSA and didn’t ‘learn’ anything. However this DID ‘remind me’ of several lessons I forgot. My practice will be adjusted thanks to the reminders you’ve provided here. Slapping trigger? Guilty. Lousy sight alignment at speed? Guilty again. Sigh. Excellent, crisp points nicely illustrated. Thanks again.
Great video. Thank you very much..
fantastic video ive been shooting all my life and am just noticing some of my own mistakes from this clear and easy to understand content. keep it up, always improving.
Great video. I just shot for the first time in my life last night. I was told I did really well but I definitely see the tips here would have been even better to have. Thank you for this.
Welcome!
Glad you joined us...
I learned to shoot the improper way so this was helpful for those of us who want to improve accuracy and control like a responsible owner.👍
Informative and well presented. Great video.
Thanks Myles! Very well presented!
Great vid! What holster is that?
The dude has a pistol inprinted in his DNA. So elegant handling, and so much respect for the audience to feel safe.
For sure you re right , but you can have all the skills learning you want , that s just for shooting sand targets . There is one little tiny detail that will come up the day you will have to shoot for your life eventually , and that s stress and the adrenaline influx which will make most people forget about any technique they should use and end up crappy shooting . Therefore if you re just a random Joe planning to get a weapon to defend your family , get a shotgun , stress or not , you sure won't miss :) And if you have more than 2 braincells fighting for domination in your mind , you won't get a gun anyway :)
@@christophedohet8877 fuck off.
@@VanBruceArrant when a gun is used in an honest to goodness self defense situation, you best believe law enforcement gets involved, that’s one of the things you must do AFTERWARDS. When investigations are finished, and it’s found that person acted in self defense, they won’t get jailed, Provided they ALERTED AUTHORITIES and give an accurate portrayal of what happened. you’re right about the second part, though, no news station would cover story after story of “person rightfully defends life with firearm” because there’s no one to point a finger at and blame; Perhaps the criminal who was stopped, but that doesn’t fit the media’s agenda that “Guns bad”
Great stuff. Wish I had this knowledge before. Thanks.
Excellent, thank you.
Great video, brother! It's a great review of the fundamentals, for an old guy, like me! I appreciate your obvious enthusiasm for handgun handling! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I lived in the Philippines for several years and every saturday went practical shooting. I learned a lot from various shooters including some special forces chaps and really improved my skills and enjoyment. Good video.
Great teaching. Thanks
The best instruction and real life fundamentals explained thoroughly. Thanks.
Notice : his muzzle never cycled toward or at the camera. He knows well enough to not aim his weapon toward an individual while he's explaining these different scenarios. Good man . 😎
Yep! Definitely a good firearm instructor. His explanation is on point and easy to understand. No BS, straight to the point.
While that is correct, the camera is rock solid like on a tripod. I have seen other RUclipsrs giving demonstrations where they pointed directly at the camera but made a point to say that there was no one behind it. Even in a video it is still slightly unnerving to look down the barrel of a gun.
yeah .. in quick succession from 3:53 on he swung the muzzle nearly straight up to show both sides .. followed by down toward the ground
