The airsoft malfunctions are the same, the only difference is the anticipation to recoil that he had, which is corrected very fast by the instructor, and he is so make to reload shooting fast and clearing the gun in airsoft... That's why.
he learns insanely quick. No repeats, no "can you show me that again?", he gets a tip, and immediately corrects. Truly impressive. All of his technique is spot on.
@@datasiankid3669 Yes, he picks up the instructor's tips insanely fast. Where anyone else would probably have questions or need clarification, he just gives an "Okay" and goes!
@@D3athduo well the principle is same the difference is mainly weight, recoil, trigger function, so adapting gets a little bit easier compared to a person who has never tried neither

@MemoryDecipheR the problem is most airsoft people aren't taking it as seriously as he is. Since weapons are basically a no go in Japan and a lot of Japanese youth is very interested in firearms they use airsoft guns to the fullest of it's ability. When airsoft becomes not real training is when you have those kids who scream orders on a make believe battle field thinking that it's really all that easy. Even with this kid he had to learn a few things and fix things in order to shoot a real gun properly. But he took his airsoft guns and used them like real guns in training. His airsoft collection probably comes close to what the real gun costs so of course in anyone takes airsoft shooting as seriously as he does they'll do great once transitioned over to real guns.
@MemoryDecipheR agreed, I have nothing against airsoft I think it's enjoyable, there is one problem and it happens often with people outside of the US when you aren't allowed to do something or it's harder weather it's caused by your government or maybe because you're poor you tend to take things 1000x seriously than mostly anyone in the US ever could. It happens in all fields some of the best information security researchers aren't American they're from some poor country with shit internet and an old computer but they make the best of it.. there is definitely a down side to living in the US which is there's really no competition you aren't starving if you're not the best shooter neither are you starving if you're not the best tech. In my personal opinion I think if you learn how to use a gun via airsoft that's amazing I agree with all the things you can learn via airsoft but it's just not worth my money personally.. between my sim rounds, guns, actual rounds mil training, personal training etc i spend too much time to then want to spend time/money on airsoft.. plus I'm into cars.. and drifting isn't cheap 😭 so for now until I make more money it's only real guns and ranges for me.
@MemoryDecipheR I do realize how backwards it sounds especially in a money thing but I do know airsoft guns do get expensive so I guess in the long run is a lot cheaper since airsoft BBs are nothing in price but yea biggest problem is intitial buy in of the Airsoft world I'm not down for 😂

(as in, you wouldn't clear malfunctions in airsoft guns that way, no matter how similar they apprear to be to the real thing internally)"
Then there is the reality that us military guys, that you so love to hate -and are so much better than- due to your airsoft , video game, dry firing, and timer training, are actually fighting more than timers, and doing more than snappy drills and fast mag changes. I wonder how fast your friends can do that while being shot back at? After 3 days without rest, food, and watching buddies bleed out. It takes more than drills and fast shooting ..
It's really crazy to see someone who hasn't handled recoil before but at the same time has a better grasp on the fundamentals than most people I shoot with, and maybe including me. (I'm out of practice and not too sore to admit it.) Props to this man and I hope he considers settling in our country.

@ExcuseMeBut theres an indoor feild in tulsa Oklahoma i was playing at like age 15 and i was unfortunate enough to be on the oppisite team of an ex Marine. Dude had a nice setup and like you said wiped the feild. I wasnt upset but i realised hoew much training comes into play. Of course i immediately forgot dude to the amount of fun airsoft is.
We had a german exchange student here in america and we knew we had to take him to the range. It was also his dream to shoot guns. We were at the range for hours and made him shoot all types of weapons
that's why you always act like the fool that don't know how to load his gun before the match starts and when the bell rings you spring into soldier mode
Well, I was a bit concerned in how much trust they put in a first time shooter at 3:12 , but this is ciritizism on extremely high level. However, this guy is amazing. I wish I could draw as fast as he can after two days of live firing. And I was one of the best pistol shooters among my fellows! Still far away from what he does there. Just impressive! Greetings from a former german soldier!
Its so fucking stupid how sensitive Airsoft guns can be that when you apply it to real guns it makes his actions seem so professional and like hes taking lots of care towards the hardware.
It's in his muscle memory too, the way he casually does it is because of all those hours, even when he messes up it's impressive to watch how he manipulates the firearm
That airsoft training was about 90% of it. All he had to do was wear ear muffs and get used to the recoil and trigger (which all of us do too on a brand new system). Excellent job.
@MemoryDecipheR Well James Yaeger can go suck it. data doesn't lie. There's plenty of real hard evidence here that absolutely destroys what he said about dry fire being useless.
I assume malfunctions in airsoft guns and actual guns are quite similar, since they are basically designed to do the same job just with different propellant and different ammo.
@@finian2 Exactly, if you use a gas airsoft (not the one with electrical compressor) then the weapon is actually a replica with the same movements and almost the same mechanical parts as the real one, but with gas propellant in the magasine, small spherical bullets and a narrower barrel. Even the weight and weight destribution is the same.
@Your none existence Father Gas operated airsoft rifles don't even barely compare to the amount of recoil a real rifle round shoots. No, it does not make a lot of sense
This is by far the best video I've seen in the fire arms space all year. Probably the best video I've seen ever. Amazing. Kudos for putting it together and kudos to Liku!!
Two years later and this is still in my "saves" and I still watch it in it's entirety every now and then. The cheers from the crowds encouraging him is something else. When is he coming back? Would love to see his progression.
Bro just because you can shoot real firearms in the US doesn't mean I'd wanna live there... I quite enjoy my health care, quality food and customer rights. Not to mention getting robbed at gun point is a rare event here.
I kept hearing about this vid and finally came across it. Humbling, inspirational, awe-inspiring, hilarious, and just plain awesome. Couldn’t help smiling throughout the entire video. Liku is a beast and kudos to y’all for getting him out here!
Living in Japan as an Active duty Marine. I can tell you for a fact the airsoft guns they sell out here could cause some issues at the armory. I'm hoping I can get one or two to sneak in my pack up as I leave.
74 years ago, those 2 men would be literally enemies and their countries were attacking each other in horrible ways. Today, they are colleagues and are sharing military knowledge.
Francisco Soto Barría Why not? In my opinion, weapons and any teaching around them is automatically military knowledge. But it does nt mean they will use this knowledge to become part of the militar world.
@@joaotopi Your opinion is far from reasonable, what you see here is firearms drills knowledge, military knowledge is a lot more than shooting and this drills are not part of some kind of military training, except for Special Operations, but even those unit use different drills, not like this.
17:14 Let me tell you why this man is brilliant. He is conducting what is called a speed reload meaning his magazine is empty and he must quickly and efficiently remove it while simultaneously inserted a fresh mag and firing another round. Now an error that commonly happens is what is called a "double feed" meaning there are 2 rounds in the chamber causing a blockage. What this man did first is called immediate action which happens before you see that you have a double feed. You rack your bolt back in an attempt to clear possible dud rounds or brass that may not have ejected properly while a new round is cycled through in which you then attempt to fire. When he observed he was unable to fire again he went directly into remedial action which is a more in depth check of the weapon. He knew he had a double feed so he removed the magazine and constantly slid the bold back and forward to clear the barrel of the rounds. He then put the magazine back in and attempted to fire upon which he was successful. I served in the Marines for 6 years and currently have been in the army for 2 and let me tell you that while most Marines have this general understanding of rifle marksmanship I would say majority of soldiers excluding the infantry are unable to complete this feat. They instead complain and blame the weapon. This man has never shot a rifle in his life and did exactly what he was instructed to do and look at that. perfection.
D-yawn it’s an ego thing. Most American dudes tend to feel they already know skills and instead of taking constructive criticism they want to blame their surroundings or believe they do it the best already. It’s a culture thing. My old teacher for competition shooting said it’s the same between American men and women. Women are generally better at taking constructive criticism when it comes to firearms than dudes who have shot in the past.
I have watched this video multiple times already, i just have to say this man is awesome. You have to love him. he is right up there in the 99th percentile and he seems to not know it. He is so humble and soaking up the experience he is provided. He knows they are there to teach him and he is not cocky. A lot of people can learn from him. I just love people who are good at what they do. It doesn't even matter what it is.
@@therandomdickhead5744 it was so good to see those guys cheering him on and being so excited for him. Too many people in the action shooting game are just self absorbed dickheads
@@beardoggin8963 IKR! Lucas can't stop laughing and smiling, on how amazing this kid ramps up his firearm control. That is unbelievable! How long does it take for a regular person to reasonably cover the recoil on 9mm - Glock and 5,56 NATO - AR-style rifle to such level? He made it instantly! I bet some of those guys felt jealous of the kid's performance - I mean in a positive, sport way..
This isnt a video game this is real life, you dont understand the extent on how hard it is to reload at speed, you have to take into to play drawing the next mag while your releasing the mag thats in rifle, then hand eye coordination has to be precise to get that mag into the mag well, some players have a flared mag well to make it easier to get the mag into the mag well, then actually cocking the rifle to get a round into the chamber, it takes skill and precision to do it that quicky
Great demonstration. This is sure to rustle a lot of jimmies among boomers who hate young people who got into firearms from airsoft instead of hunting.
It depends. For those go for airsoft ipsc competition they wish there is no recoil so they can shoot fast and stable. In the other hand those go for wargame they want more recoil for sure.
@@ormand.943 you Jesse but I took a coworker from Japan shooting and it was just like this. You tell them how d To do something and they will do it EXACTLY how you told/described it to them

(as in, you wouldn't clear malfunctions in airsoft guns that way, no matter how similar they apprear to be to the real thing internally)"
He's that good at shooting a real AR, but imagine: he had to go back to Japan where they are illegal.
Zachary Lucchetti yeah of course, but I mean look at the speed. Regardless that’s a feat.
Then there is the reality that us military guys, that you so love to hate -and are so much better than- due to your airsoft , video game, dry firing, and timer training, are actually fighting more than timers, and doing more than snappy drills and fast mag changes. I wonder how fast your friends can do that while being shot back at? After 3 days without rest, food, and watching buddies bleed out. It takes more than drills and fast shooting ..
It's really crazy to see someone who hasn't handled recoil before but at the same time has a better grasp on the fundamentals than most people I shoot with, and maybe including me. (I'm out of practice and not too sore to admit it.)
Props to this man and I hope he considers settling in our country.
Japan is in DIRE straights with their own "replacement levels" or lack thereof... this is how a bidding war starts 😂

The answer is? i'll not watch 30 fucking minutes.
His firearm safety is impeccable, notice his hand flicks the safety on after every shot when using the ar.
Even if a solid firearm safety is something EVERYONE should have, it's not always the case.
This kid is amazing, not only for his skills but for his safety when handling too!
Takes training on ur own really. Alot of airsoft playing experience, safety is really necessary but overall ur own senses to be taught.

Hes also pushing the dust cover back up
@ExcuseMeBut theres an indoor feild in tulsa Oklahoma i was playing at like age 15 and i was unfortunate enough to be on the oppisite team of an ex Marine. Dude had a nice setup and like you said wiped the feild. I wasnt upset but i realised hoew much training comes into play. Of course i immediately forgot dude to the amount of fun airsoft is.

This dude has more muzzle awareness than anyone ive ever seen.
he's like a video game preventing you from friendly fire lol
I noticed the same thing, haha
I noticed he touches his belt buckle with his left hand to pause it, keeping it from coming in front of the muzzle
Well, I was a bit concerned in how much trust they put in a first time shooter at 3:12 , but this is ciritizism on extremely high level. However, this guy is amazing. I wish I could draw as fast as he can after two days of live firing. And I was one of the best pistol shooters among my fellows! Still far away from what he does there. Just impressive!
Greetings from a former german soldier!
What's muzzle awareness?
His commitment to "finish the job" is truly amazing!

Closes dust cover automatically....
**This pleased the NUT.**
This is because in airsoft dirt will jam up the feeder pretty easy, this is why he does this.
Its so fucking stupid how sensitive Airsoft guns can be that when you apply it to real guns it makes his actions seem so professional and like hes taking lots of care towards the hardware.
It's in his muscle memory too, the way he casually does it is because of all those hours, even when he messes up it's impressive to watch how he manipulates the firearm
oooooooooooooooo.......thats so pleasing
Ejection port cover?
I appreciate the fact that he took time to cosplay as T.Rex Arms.

That airsoft training was about 90% of it. All he had to do was wear ear muffs and get used to the recoil and trigger (which all of us do too on a brand new system). Excellent job.
They got recoil on some airsoft to.but not as much
@@zimworlddee919 blow back airsoft pistols with green gas have about as much as 9mm blanks.
@@CP110 Yeah but that recoil comes from the bolt/slide moving
@MemoryDecipheR Well James Yaeger can go suck it. data doesn't lie. There's plenty of real hard evidence here that absolutely destroys what he said about dry fire being useless.
After that day at the range, all the guys bought airsoft guns to dry fire
the most funniest thing is background chatter - that tells you how much this dude is capable after dry fire for 3-4 years?
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this video over and over again..
Same here. Never fails to make me smile. He’s never fired a gun before but the second he touches one he’s fully in his element.
All they thought me is wall 😂😂
Same
This is my 3rd time and I just asked myself that and saw this comment.
Same haha
its insane how he reacted to the malfunctions entirely correct and at professional speed.
17:10
I assume malfunctions in airsoft guns and actual guns are quite similar, since they are basically designed to do the same job just with different propellant and different ammo.
@@finian2 Exactly, if you use a gas airsoft (not the one with electrical compressor) then the weapon is actually a replica with the same movements and almost the same mechanical parts as the real one, but with gas propellant in the magasine, small spherical bullets and a narrower barrel. Even the weight and weight destribution is the same.
1:36 also.
we are strong
IT's incredible how quickly he adapted to the recoil.
The airsoft gun he always used is gas operated so it makes alot of sense
Tienes toda la razón, en verdad es impresionante.
@@yournoneexistencefather5869 gas operator or not they wouldn't shoot that much recoil.
Korean Cowboy42 yeah but I guess it translates a bit.
@Your none existence Father Gas operated airsoft rifles don't even barely compare to the amount of recoil a real rifle round shoots. No, it does not make a lot of sense
This is by far the best video I've seen in the fire arms space all year. Probably the best video I've seen ever. Amazing. Kudos for putting it together and kudos to Liku!!

These drills are not "military knowledge".
Francisco Soto Barría Why not? In my opinion, weapons and any teaching around them is automatically military knowledge. But it does nt mean they will use this knowledge to become part of the militar world.
@@joaotopi Your opinion is far from reasonable, what you see here is firearms drills knowledge, military knowledge is a lot more than shooting and this drills are not part of some kind of military training, except for Special Operations, but even those unit use different drills, not like this.

FROST u mean, hunting?
That is unreal for a first time shooter. Major props.

17:14 Let me tell you why this man is brilliant. He is conducting what is called a speed reload meaning his magazine is empty and he must quickly and efficiently remove it while simultaneously inserted a fresh mag and firing another round. Now an error that commonly happens is what is called a "double feed" meaning there are 2 rounds in the chamber causing a blockage. What this man did first is called immediate action which happens before you see that you have a double feed. You rack your bolt back in an attempt to clear possible dud rounds or brass that may not have ejected properly while a new round is cycled through in which you then attempt to fire. When he observed he was unable to fire again he went directly into remedial action which is a more in depth check of the weapon. He knew he had a double feed so he removed the magazine and constantly slid the bold back and forward to clear the barrel of the rounds. He then put the magazine back in and attempted to fire upon which he was successful. I served in the Marines for 6 years and currently have been in the army for 2 and let me tell you that while most Marines have this general understanding of rifle marksmanship I would say majority of soldiers excluding the infantry are unable to complete this feat. They instead complain and blame the weapon. This man has never shot a rifle in his life and did exactly what he was instructed to do and look at that. perfection.
D-yawn it’s an ego thing. Most American dudes tend to feel they already know skills and instead of taking constructive criticism they want to blame their surroundings or believe they do it the best already. It’s a culture thing. My old teacher for competition shooting said it’s the same between American men and women. Women are generally better at taking constructive criticism when it comes to firearms than dudes who have shot in the past.
Fuckin textbook
That's whats called a prom night
Well thank you for your time and thanks for the information

I have watched this video multiple times already, i just have to say this man is awesome. You have to love him.
he is right up there in the 99th percentile and he seems to not know it. He is so humble and soaking up the experience he is provided. He knows they are there to teach him and he is not cocky. A lot of people can learn from him.
I just love people who are good at what they do. It doesn't even matter what it is.
Fun fact: Airsoft originated from Japan due to citizens not being allowed to own firearms.

I bet some of those guys felt jealous of the kid's performance - I mean in a positive, sport way..
This better be in 2019 rewind Lmao

Still badass but they make reloads slow for balancing reasons
@@night7185 Most reloads in videogames even then are still pretty fast compared to real life, save for Insurgency 2
This isnt a video game this is real life, you dont understand the extent on how hard it is to reload at speed, you have to take into to play drawing the next mag while your releasing the mag thats in rifle, then hand eye coordination has to be precise to get that mag into the mag well, some players have a flared mag well to make it easier to get the mag into the mag well, then actually cocking the rifle to get a round into the chamber, it takes skill and precision to do it that quicky
