appreciate it all right so this is the end of day one of desert brutality 2024 Union way shooting in the classic auto or semi-auto division because you're using the FG 42 and your French 1935 pistol fic LMO doing piece of the day Frances I knew Aleman that's German I learned that from where she's in New Orleans yes actually that's really cool I picked up a French word anyways so let's told stage by stage and get your general gist of things and we'll have a little discussion great one today was the trench assault but it was a fun stage you mean you shoot at a tank trap run up to a trench shoot targets in a trench I mean hello what else do you want what I want is to be able to actually use a bayonet in a match shooter ready just we put standby [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] pockets are not the best I'll resupply [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] dang this is not a bayonet this is like a pointing device that cause all that is it's the best the Germans could do cut them some slack it's so funny the ermine have French bayonet technology although ironically they use French bayonets technology if they did it's so funny the Germans required a bayonet and they literally had to meet the requirement and they met the requirement but when you look at the actual oh it's it's like really however in in this day yes this was lit I think actually the only time I've ever been in a formal match environment where a bayonet would it was a legitimately viable option well there's a three gun matches where they were they would never let you use them and our driver we're like can I use my bayonet were like yeah you can use your bayonet so it's those two paper targets that you have to literally run right past and yeah the smart move for time was you shoot them from the previous trench but I'm not gonna let that he go by either myself as in or Jacques the French crazies thoughts come on we're not here hands to use the e law and the bayonet we're not here for thinking right yeah and yes the whole staged up to that point was up to the very end it ends on a pistol spinner and I don't know what the actually interesting here everybody's thought I'll talk about mine later but that pistol spinner was at an angle of attack that was unusual for me the issue was reloads okay my mags like in this getup I have no pistol pouches I have mags in my pocket and I'm wearing gloves these are the heavy ones to stay warm but I've got like mechanics style gloves or when I'm shooting because it's cold I get a little hammer bite if I don't like clubs are just a really good idea for a match like this so between the friction of gloves in the pocket Plus trying to get the holster out of the way and the pistol doesn't drop mags for oh it's got a finger button release but the Maggs are all kind of tight and in when it's nice and warm they're relatively easy to get out when it's cold like this there was a little bit of grease or a little bit dirt on them still you kind of had the gang composite magn safety too right yes that's part of it so I think without having gone back and reviewed the footage of the stage I think my real issue was it took me so long to reload the gun and I only have eight rounds to work with that any chance I had to get it going I lost when I had to reload I do think that it looked like fresh long could have done it it could have I think if I'd had drop three mags and like proper pistol pouches or couches and a double stack magnitude um there was one or two times and I was able to double tap the plate and it really started moving it it was possible its 110 power factor so it's is behind the curve but not massive it's not a pocket pistol this is service pistol cartridge just on the low end of service pistol escape however everything after that stage just kind of improved I think so the second stage of the day Michael even were talking about this was the Kassar drill with me I can't talk about it stage named after me maybe you should talk about the stage named after me okay so that was easier on the pistol because there was no spinner right pistol part of that was pretty easy yeah the thing with the kisara drill is every time it gets run at a brutality match it's different and so the standard is you go pro and hit the target get up throw the kettlebell run to a go prone the twist this time was all the shooting as often in the loop [Music] [Music] [Music] which mentos is actually physically easier because you weren't doing these rifle burpees up and down however the marksmanship was a little bit harder especially for the idiot who brings an 11-pound gun with a bipod and then have to shoot offhand but it used the boy book to your advantage yes the bipod is still valuable because you can set the gun down on the bipod while you're throwing the kettlebell and it prevents dirt from getting into the gun it's nice and easy to just grab the gun and go nice and easy to set it down question is when you're shooting it offhand with the bipod now how much does that swing and and take your fame this doesn't swing all that much and these bipod legs are really quite light so the total I mean this only goes that's my too bad it may have been a little bit of an issue but I didn't notice it being an issue would you felt comfortable with fold it makes no difference I would have kept it folded if I wasn't putting the gun down yeah but it was far more useful to have it down yeah but that said this started with a 50-yard sprint to the pistol position and then a 50-yard run back with the kettlebell so there was more to it the run back with the kettlebell was I think the hardest single part of that state unfun yeah yeah and the other thing was while you made it a little more difficult the shooting because it was offhand the target was also a little bigger than it was yes so I had no truck well I had a little bit of trouble with the target because the power of eight millimeter started spinning that target on its stand and so as I kept shooting the target we had effectively got narrower narrower and it actually got a little hard to hit yeah I got the long range ones I don't know studies like that you really don't want a cold range group and finally a halfway through the kettlebell oh god oh no the last thing you want is to reshoot it desert any desert fatality match and for that matter most of the to gun matches when it comes up to hey you know you were legitimately offered to reshoot the majority people be like nah I don't know thanks yeah you know what did occur to me I actually thought about this two or three times as I was going down was there were two identical targets on that rain there were and the other target is for the other sage that were running on that day I thought about asking the RO if I could shoot the other target which was still fully presented I thought about it and I'm like yeah that's kind of assistant way out just like to be honest true true yeah now had I managed to knock that target down then I would have transitioned to shooting the other one yep and then celebrated in Grand victory at the end so and then the third and final stage was the what we called the riot control yes that started off with a riot shield in your support hand which is where your regards as your right hand and your French pistol and your strong hand on your left hand you bring the shield up and you have to shoot through the port of the shield at five mini poppers tiny freakin poppers and they don't go down by the way they they're spring-loaded so they'll go back and then reset themselves and you know we've seen we watched a lot of people shoot this and there are people that legitimately actually almost timed out on the pistol portion only [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] well done you in that regard went I think one for one on every plate yeah five shots five hits so tell us why this French pistol enabled you to do that all right so the sights on this gun are small but pretty good so precise they're precise you've got a nice square front post you've got a nice clear square rear notch and they're not big but they give you a good precise sight picture okay it's a single action only gun which I can't even demonstrate as a mag safety in it but it's got a really nice trigger point to it and with in fact the funny thing is I'm very confident in the elevation zero of this particular gun I'm that the wind is just a little bit wonky but when you're shooting through that riot shield you can either kind of try to do this or it's much easier to camp the pistol 90 degrees and bring it in and you're looking at it sideways and when you're doing that you would line up with the near edge of the target like this and once I do that I've got this really long target that's all windage as far as my sights are concerned mm-hmm and so I wasn't at all concerned about it enough so it really aligned well with your wonky windage yeah I really like that the handling the grip these are naturally quite accurate pistols not that that's all that important that sort of range but this is the predecessor to the sig 210 at the Browning locking system is it yes okay yeah it's a tilting barrel okay so this hitter designed this for SACM in France and then the design moved on to sig where it turned into the 6 to 10 another renowned accurate service pistol would you then put that away and then you ran off to use your FG 42 on some just under a hundred yard targets up to 50 Dennis and if I may say so I did pretty darn well on them it did very well the thing that had the the most concerned was reloads because having to run the charging handle on the FG and having to take rifle down from a shooting position manipulate a reload with the magazine on the side which is people think that's really cool and it is because it's unusual but you know what it's it's more awkward to reload then either top mounted or bottom mounted and you've got a two handed money lavon's so you magazine okay you're shooting it wrong handed so you've got to take the mag off on one side of the gun and then it's got this really awkward [ __ ] yeah on the right hand side and if you get it wrong you where's your hand yeah so part of the reason that's the challenge is you're actually fighting two different Springs on an mg42 when you're cocking the gun from its firing position so it takes some it takes some effort you've got have actually talked that you got to fight the recoil spring and the striker assembly for lack of a better term you're wreaking the firing pin as your camming the bolt it which normally are done has two separate spots super separate parts the opposite well yeah it's not really a striker but the best terminology so and before you correct me I realized that but what you do is you're talking to Springs it was yeah so what I did is I figured I want to proactively rely yep and rather than trying to count shots I looked at I'm like every position I need for yes yeah to honeys target so when I get to the third position if I've missed four times by the time I clear the third position I will run out of him yes so I was just counting misses and that was easy enough to do that's smart cuz you're counting the smaller number hopefully exactly and it was it I don't remember now I think three when I finished the third position like all right I do not have enough ammo I have to reload because in theory I needed 16 hits and I had 20 rounds yeah but I ended up having two left in the mag and one in the gun so I reloaded while I was moving to the fourth position because there was still around in the chamber I didn't have to mess with the charging handle and I was able to maybe not run quite as fast as active but I was able to do the whole reload while I was moving and couldn't be shooting anyway sure I'm shooting through the ties you shot me me yes yeah that's so the tires were cunningly set by someone to be too low to shoot standing and too high to use a bipod or really shoot prone so you had to do squat kneel lean innies it had to be a kind of awkward position and for me kneeling was perfect now we talked about this before the stage and I very deliberately chose to stay back from the time you were allowed to put the muzzle of the gun into the tire you couldn't have it go all the way through if I put this muzzle break into the tire you guys would lose your hearing the reverberation on the other side of the internet there that's true so I very deliberately stayed back outside the tire prevent some of that horrible concussion that it would have caused and with the five Bulls going around and that you know saved you bid as well probably yeah so those tires were set up for that purpose yeah at the when you were shooting through them like you said they were just too high to go prone and just too low to do anything else something you got to do something freedom if I were running a five five six I would have done a squat mm-hmm but a 308 or eight millimeter like this the recoil at my squat tends to rock back and that takes up a lot of time for target acquisition and kneeling worked really well before someone in the audience is thinking this before do you think of this we also prohibited you from going all the way through the direct attire you can now put the muzzle through the other side of the tire and the reason for that was these steer the steel targets were far enough apart that you had to shoot and you had to scoop to get to the next target couldn't just hit it couldn't just sit in one spot ago pop pop pop no you haven't so that was intentional overall everything today was really quite fun except for that yeah so I hate with the fire of a thousand bernie Suns so this is desert brutality 2020 day one for you yes with your classic auto and it went really well it did I am really looking forward to you GCM you don't really quite know what's up for day two nyet an inkling seen a little bit of it well stay tuned because d2 will be coming up in a subsequent video here on in range TV thanks for watching
