Can Airsoft Translate to Real Firearm Skill?

[Music] hey guys Lucas here and I'm here with one of our projects that we've been working on from Japan this is Lee ku he's aim bot 1.0 well we're gonna get him a little firmware update today and see what's going on the big thing that I see a lot of guys talking about airsoft is airsoft will never benefit shooting while Lee kyu here has been doing airsoft now for years see dry fires more than every single shooters here at the range so we're gonna find out today is can and airsofter who's never fired a real gun because Lee cues from Japan where you can't own real firearms can he get onto a real firearm a Glock 19 and my BCM & Schley drills having only done airsoft and that's we're gonna find out today and I think once he gets the recoil figured out some of the triggers stuff figured out he's gonna blaze it down so you guys want to see this you ready I'll go first we build these six rounds into the top left circle [Music] 3.10 alright alright that's your turn six rounds drip down into that circle are you ready this is first time ever shooting a handgun are you ready ready stand by [Music] six point three one all right so we dropped a couple mo here but not so you were aiming for this yes so what's happening is all you're doing is you're driving the gun down so we're gonna fix that so come with me you stand right here go ahead and draw the pistol draw the pistol aim for the small circle go ahead and just take the gun just take the gun out and step it out and you see how the trigger here as a wall I want you to go to the wall and then you will fire that shot to aim at the small circle yeah go to the wall oh okay see where the wall is all right so you put this side to that small circle and then smooth squeeze to the rear from the wall wall whoa wall all right wall from the wall slow [Music] good wall from the wall wall good yes on the wall good on the wall good let's tighten up a little bit let's get on the gun a little more so tighten up tight tighten up so you have less recoil let's do it again tighten up on the wall [Music] reload good all right suit again the holster up now six this right here all right do it again are you yes are you ready ready stand by three point four zero this is li kui's first time shooting a handgun we've gotten some of that anticipation out of the way now he's gonna burn it down all right man okay y'all can jump in first of all I want to just all right what did you say you said three points viewers how's the three point four yeah let's consistent good job dude good job thank you ready ready all right your turn that's the 241 we shot in that all right now remember wall Wow are you ready ready stand by good one more time one more time all right three three three three all right are you ready ready stand by whoa whoa on the walls do it again stir it again Dan bye five right now one one shot all right one shot see what the straw is dan by one-to-one good stand by 102 stand by 9/5 so fast slow wall one shot stand by 180 stand by one five five stand by one three three stand by 1:39 standby all right full strap so guys this is li kui's first time shooting a gun he's shooting better than most military and law enforcement people that i've shot with and he's only used airsoft guns but he dry fires way more than everyone here so airsoft for dry fire totally works and it's translating over to firearms we're going to keep running some drills now shooting carbine pistol shooting on the move reloads and we'll see what else works out I'll take it already aiming at the target on the wall aim at the target alright alright are you ready stand by good do it again go on the wall on the wall so sorry you already be on the wall yeah stand by all right stand by good removing the gun nice and fast stand by and by [Music] then my all right so now we'll do more so now you will fire and you'll move hmm you'll wait and then as soon as you hear the timer fire and then move all right all right stand by fire up that's good good all right I say I think I'm out of a job - two - yeah yes all right bye let's do it again this time even slower shooting bang bang bang bang bang alright guys my fires a lot and I don't really need to tweak anything he's good to go he knows the difference between shooting speed and moving speed he's already got that all programmed and wired into his brain and that's because he drive fires hundreds of hours it's his first time ever doing target transitioning drills with a real firearm and I think he's doing pretty good I can return and he will be my he'll replace me good good standby [Music] good [Music] hello [Music] well one of the things that impressed me the most about watching like who shoot is not only as soon as he picked up a gun he was obviously very good point shooting all that but the manual of arms a lot of people you see shoot don't understand manual of arms and he legitimately understood how to clear malfunctions why he was clearing him the safety will he's clearing him everything so that was something that really spoke testimony to dry fire and airsoft as a training aid all right that's in a 134 all right your turn this target good let's do it again six rounds so as you can see the gun is kind of coming up yep and all you're gonna do is you're gonna pull it back bang pull back bang pull back bang pull back good much better let's do it again it's 24 let's do it again six rounds stand by alright let's do it again we can go faster it's a 209 stand by 172 all right so that's his first time she I think he's got it he's got it figured out alright let's do one round eighty-seven Doody in standby sixty-seven stand by six four stand by five - stand by six one stand by for four holy cow all right here let's up here alright so one shot head you'll need to aim here aim shot all right stand by all right let's uh let's do it again stand by it's a three nine stand by thirty seven all right stand by for zero stand by all right so my standard for a head shot usually at about five yards under half a second he's doing this in three six and he's never shot a rifle before let this be a lesson to all of you who don't dry fire who say dry fire is doesn't do anything for you this kid who's never shot a gun in his life is out shooting 99.99 percent of Fudd's on the internet and here in America and he's not even from America he's from Japan all right one reload one yeah you know what's going on you know what's up just just alright let's see this standby [Applause] still better than all of you all right sue to get here let's push this guy they're good all right stand by so you're hitting you're hitting this a little too soon yes too soon so this goes in and then hit it then hit it yep all right it's a little too soon it's all timing gentle get there soft so just figure it out stand by that's a 243 so that's so he meets the standard of three seconds now that he got the bad lovers figured out she's at five seven ten yards it's really matter one reload one into an a zone and then under three seconds his first shot was 266 all right let's do it again whoo boy Sam by what are we watching all right now transition so yeah so now we'll do this all right looked like horrible compared to leek you are you ready stand my dry fire it works it works one more one more suiting it 10:26 all right stand by that rifle reload Oh chest stand by 322 stand by 343 stand by remember we're gonna come he gets it in your magazine try to grip it like this yeah instead of this or now it wobbles around try to grab it like this so your hand comes down grab and you're good stand by to 68 all right stood here stand by to 73 do it again stand by 0:27 all right so now it's going to be one one reload one one and by yes it's on safe it's on safe on the transition 780 do it again y'all suck I knew - alright let's do it again stand by you got it you got it I think one of the things it's pretty inspirational is the fact that you have a country where they've given up most of their rights for being able to shoot firearms and you can take someone who doesn't have access to those sort of weapons and let them dry fire with various alternatives and you can still learn those skill sets and still go ahead and pick up a rifle and pretty quickly be able to be pretty proficient in it so I think it's pretty inspiring and definitely should inspire other people around the world so once two two two two and two slow shooting but fast moving all right slow shooting fast moving bang bang bang bang bang bang standby good again do you stand by that was it those are malfunction all right see it stand by [Music] all right careful standby all right let's go faster faster shooting bang bang bang bang bang bang standby [Applause] I've got a dry fire for like four hours tonight damn i that wasn't 181 good all right center left right it's programming the aimbot I did yeah yeah I was like standby right now six one one six one one all right go for a little speed right here little throttle control oh he is whoo all right stand by that works that works okay - OH - all right are you ready yeah - it you stand by - 35 yep stand by do any stand by - 90 - good job good job now we'll just do one reload one same target yeah same target stand by - 11 it was a 1 6 8 first shot in a 4-3 stand by that was 207 first shot on 4/7 so its first shots under half which is good and then that was a one point six foot this is li kui's first sign of a course of fire today moving shooting on the move going from airsoft with no real recoil and then picking up a firearm it was like half a magazine for each weapon system both handgun and log gun and as soon as he fired it a few times he seen his face he's like okay I got it I understand and then he would adjust his body position and his input into the weapon almost immediately and just I mean from yesterday morning until now it's just been incredible incredible improvement he shoots very well he did a good job what really spoke to me was the fact that we were helping him achieve a dream he said it was his dream come true to come here and do what he did over this weekend and to let him enjoy the freedoms we have in America that was a super cool thing for me so I'm very glad to have met him a lot of people on the internet and a lot of just people in society today believe that formal unprofessional education is the only way to learn everything there anything but what we saw this past weekend is that someone who's had zero formal education has not taken any firearms classes it's not taking any you know advanced pistol shooting advanced rifle shooting can run with guys who've been training for years you know professional SWAT guys professional military guys former soft guys and he can run with them just fine with no formal education it's just attention to detail for videos that he finds following good shooters and then emulating what they're doing and then putting in the time putting in the reps that's ultimately what matters and that's something that you know I try to talk to a lot of people about is you don't mean to take a ton of classes to be good at shooting you just need to work on your owns playing scales on the piano it's boring you know nobody wants to do it but that's ultimately what it comes down to and we saw a prime example of that the past couple days from show where he's putting in time for the past three years it's not even like he's been doing this 10 years it's only been three years and then he's coming out to the range and hammering out drills faster than a lot of us and his accuracy you know there's a few things that he just needs to work on with live fire but considering that he hasn't had any of that in three years it's absolutely incredible and speaks to the fact that you can indeed teachers solve things without formal education yes shot real guns today and yesterday and he's pulling down was out - OH - OH - and Shelby show the camera because the people say it's sped out because people are stupid stand by five eight five eight five eight and that was center mass it's right here so guys dry fireworks I don't care whatever is fine every in our a range officer I don't care what they all say dry fireworks he's only been doing airsoft in the past three years three years to airsoft never following a real gun he's pulling down five eighths and six five from the breeze so we just finished two days shooting with Lee kyu underscore tactical on Instagram also known as show and this is his first time shooting real firearms for the past two days he shot probably around 600 rounds pistol and then probably around the same for rifle and he did an excellent job far better than any of us were expecting completely destroying us on drills which is awesome proof that dry fire does indeed help does indeed work he's been using airsoft for about three years working drills very purposeful drills he follows a lot of us on Instagram and then literally just goes and copies what we're doing same fundamentals gripping the gun normally working the rifle reloads transitioning all those all that all those good fundamentals so we're gonna have leak you out again very soon to do some other stuff get some kid out there shoots in different kinds of drills but I'm looking forward to him coming back and he did awesome and I know the rest of the guys here really enjoyed seeing how he performed and just excellent proof that dry fire does indeed help and it doesn't matter if people stay on the internet they're wrong dry fire you'll get better as we have just seen so thank you very much thank you very much the excellent shooting come out again soon [Applause] [Music] someone five six one five six they're all they're all in there they're all in there all in there 156 so his first shots in 84 second shot is with one eight splinters of 102 a 1/4 split a 1 1 split a 1/4 split a 1 5 split that's what my carry gun

Can somebody explain or link a video of what he’s meaning when’s talking about the “wall”

[u/jontelang]

How similar are the airsoft to the real ones, 1:1?

[u/DJ283]

Too bad its Botkin.

His father runs one of the biggest cults in TN (Botkin Syndrome), it's rather obvious he speeds up his videos (watch the shell casings in his other videos hit the ground at mach 1). He showed up to a 3-gun with a helmet and PC, placed 200 and was eventually DQ'd for safety violations. His videos tend to be "7 seconds of info regarding topic title, then 7 minutes of me shooting fast."

Good video but please, if you are getting into guns, look into someone else's video like Daddy Thumb. (GarandThumb)

Oh and if you quality check his holsters, they fucking suck.

EDIT: Corrected spelling of last name. Sorry mates.

[u/rightseid]

Obviously there are big differences but is there really significant doubt that these skills are transferable? It seems very intuitive that they would be.

[u/Piranhamonkey]

I was really worried that things like manual safety switches and trigger discipline would be overlooked by someone who plays airsoft but holy crap. That guy does a better job than 85% of the tactical Timmy shooters out there.

Usually people that train on the “fake” guns neglect simple things when they transfer to live fire. It is IMPERATIVE that the instructor is on point with safety when they are training with dummy guns or even co2 actuated pistols. I have yelled at so many people about safety after they have run a “simulator”.

This sort of thing absolutely fascinates me. Regardless of the subjects involved. Can anyone share with me a similar scenario/video? In which an outsider blows away all expectations and it forces the participants to re-evaluate how they teach and learn a thing?

[u/DrippyWaffler]

Honestly the best part is the amazed laughter from the other... shooters? Gunmen? Not sure of the terminology, but when this guy pulls off some absurdly fast reload and they all go nuts it's so infectious.

[u/guiltyas-sin]

@16:49. Holy shit. That is amazing. His weapon handling skills are amazing as well.

[u/effingjay]

absolutely fascinating video. the coolest part was the genuine respect and admiration the other people had for liku. the guy hiding his smiles and congratulating him was really into it. very professional
