weapons and armor if you want to see more of Billy you can check the description for all the links to his socials as well as links to buy tickets for his upcoming UK live tour always a little further right over to Billy so I think I'm going to say is wearing that mask I don't quite get that I mean you've got to remember it's so hot there so it looks good for a a game but in reality you wouldn't be wearing that I just want to say again about the scenery and that's so realistic you know move through the waters in the desert sort of environment everybody thinks the desert is just flats and it's not it's exactly as you see there those Rocky outcrops and those little Canyons so that is absolutely perfect okay so now it's come up into what we call a forward observation position overlooking the Target and again realistically it would have already been in position he should should not really be now trying to play catch-up because you've got a lot to do he's got to get up there you've got to remember he's ran up there he's going to be out of breath trying to see trying to get yourself focused and and get that sort of a breakdown of the ground you need to be there in advance there are times when things obviously are rushed in the real and better world if you have the time you'd already be in position watching what is already laid out there in front of you you know let's let's not be about the bush these sort of things do go on Beyond closed doors the little arms deals between different nations and that represents a realistic scenario on General gabrani all stations Target confirmed you know to identify exactly when you're trying to pinpoint the exact target you have to be 100 the problem is in a desert environment like it's like getting a facial ID is virtually impossible because you've got the infirmly thing so you're really going on you know they're mannerisms the protection around them all that sort of stuff highlights an important person then to get eyes on and when you give a this is a confirmed whoever the target is you have to be 100 so it's a real balls are cool for the operator to say yep that is definitely the target the most key thing here is the countdown from the the weapon being released time to Target and the reason that's so important is because as you can see the operator there what he would be doing now is getting himself deep into comedy but you know getting down right behind cover on the last three seconds and you're counting it in and in the last two seconds just get right in behind cover boom let it impact and then give it a couple of seconds come back up Eyes On Target immediately ready for what we call damage assessment which is the key thing now and that doesn't come too quickly because you've got to be 100 sure that Target is neutralized Robo team offloads here Alpha Team stays on board to land downrange great great um visuals and the field of the helicopter coming in but the thing is if you're going to show someone from inside there you really want to make it realistic it's loud it's really noisy whoever command is really Screaming two or three key words you never have a conversation but she can't and it gets confusing you've got to remember they've already had orders they're ready to go it's it's that last minute gear em up or any changes and the only person I've been speaking is Ghost so he'd stand up and go go left go right as planned that'll be about it a few big words just to get people geared up to go you ain't got time for conversation you're ready to get off that bird because it's gone noisy [Applause] okay not an unrealistic situation you know there's there's plenty of times when it actually like that where a vehicle's gone down or the L has gone down and of course in your heart you're thinking that's one of my comrades I have to say this from a military perspective that is not your priority right now the priority is to neutralize and take out that Target because Embassy is all securing the enemy first because if you go straight to the brush you're just gonna become a Target as well thank you again because it's got noisy I mean you'd have already been prepared you know you're going to build an assault so you would have it would have used door charges wall charges two reasons for that one it really sends a message anybody behind that door these are coming at you the the sledgehammer is more of an internal door type thing you're going in you've got an aggressive you've got up there as quick as you can it takes two seconds to unravel stick a door charger bang you know you're going with Force I'm not really sure whether that would be happening probably not however I don't mentioned it a lot it's got noisy radials are a distraction now trying to listen to what people are saying it's chaotic you've got people screaming you've got weapons going off inside the building which the noise is double because the you know it's co-hosted environment you're literally are screaming towards each of them that guy there just stepped out of the Shadows this guy I mean it doesn't matter how good he drills are it could be anybody could be anything and they are the enemy look almost dressed the same anyway so you would be screaming exactly where you are it's aggressive it's noisy again the drill is that the first guy going up there would have as he got up there suddenly he saw that doorway to the right or even before he broke onto the The Landing would have been a flashbang and as you see there the guy got shot went down and there's number two through the grenade that should have been the reverse really the evacuation had gone first flashbang sorry and then the movement now you're coming and the fact that they know you're coming you're petrified and by screaming and shout and going towards him anyway you're trying to put them off [Applause] your worst nightmare is a sniper and basically that's what every single one of these people are because they're in needed positions they only pop-up to take a shot so with a scenario like that you ward up on call the assets that you need and the assets that you need is fire support I'm assuming you've got to get to that Target to clear the target with our minimum collateral damage because that's what we always do you know it's just full of batteries and then you just you smash it anyway but there's probably people you need to take alive or there's innocent people on there so you have to close on the target [Applause] so once you've got that suppressive fire going in then it's greatest speed pepper potting forward two half teams as quickly as you can to that Target on that call once you're there you've then got to switch fire for the helicopter because the helicopter is concentrating on hitting that thing so there would be a call whatever it may be to the helicopter to switch fire the helicopter then back off then it allows you then to go forward otherwise you can have what's called a blue and blue equipment's good I mean you can see the difficulty of building that chaos the drastically the same as you know guys as crazy as it is that people can say well actually you know it was no longer a threat to you didn't have a weapons hand but I would still probably engage he could have an explosive device it will have grenades in his pouches he's a friend take him out what I would say there is once you've taken out a building like that you're then looking for evidence to do what he just did there and shoot that computer it get slap around the head for that that is important information that's what you're looking for so that is a big No-No that was one of my guys moving too many up something like that it is your worst nightmare I mean if you're going in after a Target and you know you're all chilled up there's a time limit to it's got to be taken now otherwise you wouldn't start engaging and getting too close to this because this could go really really messy you know the fact he just walked up to that guy and just stunned and the reality that wouldn't happen it would just end up in some sort of brawl and if if people are there knowing an enemy's there they they've already got their apples up they're really very suspicious they don't guard for anything around him I get the scenario that's and I was really good I've actually worked in scenarios where I've tried to follow people in a place like this very James bondish you know the old little stun guns that it's just realistically probably won't happen because it's just too dangerous to create a chaotic scene in a built-up area taking shots like that with a pissed off of that distance with everybody around I don't care how good you are that is a crazy ass call you would at least be running forward to close the Target and then engaging yeah very Jason Paul and Jack Reacher type you know it's good entertainment but a little bit unrealistic foreign Cedar is great it's kind of an FBI CIA type scenario anti-narcotics type thing the true face once you've got to that boat you don't go over that border you just wouldn't because in a scenario like that would be back in the day of Northern Ireland you know you just do you would not cross it go across into the South for whoever the Special Forces Mexican side of the Border should have been disciplined enough to go as angry and pissed off as you would be you just you just would not cross up only that is you are Dyson with death get back inside they're going in you get it among civilians you it's good you've got a great sort of feeling for what it would be like you know the visuals for sure the noise of the dogs all the rest of the civilians generally just panic just go to ground drop your weapon somebody comes into your house we're trying to defend it as best you could so that's a bit realistic thing but I would have detained him is shout out to him where did the guys go they just let him disappear outside you know try and get some information the man who came through here where is he hey hold it so he challenged them initially there's no weapon threat there's no threat then he took his eye off him what he should have done is put him to the ground contained him turned him away from himself his face in a different direction then I wouldn't I still wouldn't take my iPhone but you can sort of scan left and right you know once you've got control of somebody put it to ground you've got control now he can't just turn a blind eye because if you do that's what you end up with you turn your back you're now in a world of pain you should think about moving that's exactly there you go that's the best that's the realistic scenario control them take away the weapons okay so the second scenario would it be the way to have handled that again scenarios great equipment's perfect it's exactly how they act and how the dress the points I would say I'm only going to go for a British perspectives all the fire was automatic in a built a pair in place you just would not be doing we would not be doing that there will have civilians the wealth even the bodies will have those sort of people around you can't afford to be spraying with weapons everywhere and nobody's that accurate with automatically I'll tell you that now room clear I've noticed as well is they're literally up a few rounds into a room kick the door open shut room clear that's not real clear the room clearly is once you've gone in it you've controlled it you could take just a minute but just move everything out of the way quick opened up that's real clear because I'll tell you right now in any combat situation there is always something you're not expected it never ever goes so clear that's just about it in one place [Applause] that was actually really good I made from entry you know you had the guy covered the door everybody's ready got visual you give a verbal command to go shotgun entry which is something we use quite a lot a couple of rounds into each of the interest in the door they kicked in Then followed by a flashbang and as you saw there before they even moved to the stairs one guy's job was he was already there at the stairs recovery so he got control of it and as soon as it came to him stack they didn't have to stop which is visually look at each other everyone's in position move on so that was actually quite good sniper no [Applause] you led us to a dead end mate we jump from here don't lose a weapons Jesus oh I just said now firstly it's got to be worse when you have to withdraw from anything because it's called wrong you're outnumbered you're out gunned whatever it's you're already on the back foot it's a nightmare you know take a breath keep control you know not really into dead ends you've got to move fast for sure but you've got to be you know controlling everything it just that's a lot it is your worst nightmare that that looks horrible because it gets a rock face you know surrounded by features you've got danger all around you people try to kill you and that's you up there that's that's probably a suicide jump but hey that's what happens that's what happens all right what I will say about these the AC-130 Gunship fantastic brilliant brilliant people brilliant bit of Kit and I've used it a lot they are awesome so basically what with these guys you call them in first week you do is pinpoint where you are and they automatically put it like a little box around you another gun snip their guns never swing into your axis you could get so close to the enemy and B the enemy would be so close to you but still calling fire from these guys they are amazing we used to call it the sky ammo it just come in and smash everything amazing bit of kit leveled out now okay Goosebumps it's beautiful come on that that's awesome the visual the verbal the communication it's good you know I'll get the old Goosebump it's good that communication to me it's just it's just fantastic which you know they tell you they've got your visual you just feel safe you just feel the Invincible you know you know the big man's coming to help you now it's brilliant that's really good solid water two down right you'll have a sort of a basic type of a ghillie suit that allows you to attach whatever environment you're around you know if you're in the desert it's not a lot of lot to add to it other than the color and sort of uh a role in playing the environment like this at the end you would use Neptune foliage you know so whatever's around you and again you may have to change it every 24 hours because it dies and color dies sort of reduce and reduce as much natural stuff as possible the stipend obviously it's all about you're on your own generally or a couple at best so in a very vertical position so when the start of it goes forward it gets into position they generally stay in one position movement is going to create you know the chances of getting caught I'd say two and a half notches foreign [Music] once you've got your target you're looking at a compound or whatever Road Junction or whatever it is you look at it and you'll you make or okay if I could cover most rings from here I've got a blind side to the left you may have a little route that you've sort of prepared and wrecked and got ready should you have to move but generally a sniper pair would not move because as soon as you start moving and as soon as the rounds are going down people are looking for you anyway so vulnerable but as from there sort of drills and skills it was pretty good [Music] yeah wow pause mate I've done that so many times that's just so realistic not as soon as that helicopter get hit passes chewed his way through your body you're yourself it's chaos it's all about but for entertainment yeah this is different it's good the last thing I'll be thinking about is get my weapon out I'll be trying to climb back up that roll or cut myself away I think the visuals are brilliant I mean this the scenery is just perfect you just got that absolutely great and all the equipment and stuff I mean obviously the scenario was just it's just pure entertainment it's just James Bond gone got Bonkers but in that respect it's good Alejandro how did you know time listen give them good engine in there don't lie tell them everything they want to know if you're down here I mean I mean the scenario put yourself up as a a Target to obviously for the greater game that's a true scenario you know I've actually personally been in a situation not quite like that where I'll put myself forward to be the Target in order to to complete the mission so that's real I mean this is uh a little bit Bonkers I don't think you can actually get away with doing this but I get the scenario or the the idea behind the scenario well that that's it's not unrealistic to become a Target to draw out the target if you know what I mean this is simple I ask questions you answer truthfully do not lie to me she's badass who attacked us interrogation is always a difficult difficult one because I mean in reality you are giving us you've got to have a reason to be where you are you have to have a scenario which you have to believe in so you have to have what they call a cover story you need to believe the lie that you're playing and and be absolutely bomb proof about all the nitty-gritty bits of detail you know I know for a fact in the in the Gulf War some of our guys that wanted to do the rescues when they got captured use the simple scenario of them there to act as a asserted rescue medical team they're not combat using not this so one of the guys being couches was actually a dentist and he played the part he could talk everything about Dentistry to the point where they bought an interrogator who'd been who were betrayed in the UK as a dentist who stood beyond the scenes listened to all the questions and what anyone yeah he is a dentist who's telling the truth and that really did buy them enough time for him to be released the game of true thing then they knew the answers and and the end result was always going to be someone's going to get killed and that was his way to get into where he is but um I mean I thought it funny I think it's good if he's really interested so I got really treated and wrapped into it there I mean it's a bit of a wild scenario but it's um that's one of the complex situation right pretty good I personally I would I would get rid of the body armor get rid of all the you can try and look as much civilian as you possibly can the radio obviously on kit will be and there any ammunition or weapons or anything it just sort of covertly wear it with the body anything that indicates who you are I mean he's got body armor out there you need a jackal it's obvious it's you know military of some sort so try and blend in with the chaos of what's going on around you that's the first thing I would say utilize a vehicle immediately first opportunity even if you don't use a vehicle it's either vehicle the tools wrenches or anything that you could use as a weapon why is two legs and bleeds sorry I asked just just what I'll say about that is on the communications an entire situation like that this is where dark humor comes in because you're in a dire situation and let's just say I was in the offshore I talked to you I know what you're going through you know you're fighting for survival you're all that sort of stuff you try to play Down be kind of cocky be a little bit jovial just to keep the person reassured you know we do it we're building some entire situations where the conversation is surreal after that you think you know they realize what we're doing here but there is a reason behind it I mean you've been gone for all those drawers they've been looking for knives you're looking screwdrivers you'd probably grab a chair leg or something that you've got so you've got some sort of baton again you'll probably be looking at the back of that car for any sort of tools that you could use oh of course you must the knife there you go definitely searches but he's gotta have a pistol or he's got ammunition he's got stuff there that you can use I'll just take the ammunition anyway you know there are no rules and regulations now it's all about survival you've got to do what you've got to do to keep yourself alive you've got to take away your kid take foreign device of some sort which to be honest a difficult thing to do there you go why Johnny you made it we made healthy [Applause] The Great Escape yeah I mean the scenario would be are still on your own behind the lines injured worst case scenario you could imagine the first thing you've got to do is take care of yourself in terms of medically keep yourself alive stop the bleeding secondly you've got to try and blend into the area so get rid of anything that shows you out to be military then you've got to find some sort of security system weapons initially that could be a bat on a leg of a chair a piece of metal whatever it is you're gonna grab whatever you can and the first opportunity you get to get ultimate proper weapon a as a PC you're going to kill somebody take their pistol take their grenades take everything they've got trying to hang around and build a device probably very unrealistic to be honest and you know it's not that easy to do it looks great in movies but it's not real so you would literally be moving through the shadow as fast as you can trying to get back to well which was to me it would go to the church but in terms of the scenario okay a little bit far-fetched but not totally unrealistic the scenery is fantastic Communications is good so overall I think it's pretty good I thought you'd like that it's all
