The way I see it, it is the same as training or hardening against an active shooter. The likelyhood is very small but the consequences are very VERY high. Similarly, the likelyhood of a FTF or FTE are very low in a firefight, but the consequences are VERY high. As such, they should be trained for but in reality they are not likely to happen.mrvmax wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 9:08 pm So for 17, 18, 20 & 21 is he insinuating those are not necessary? It kind of seems like it the way he states it. Some training scenarios are far fetched but just because he hasn’t seen them in videos doesn’t make all of them unnecessary. The majority of people will never be in an armed encounter but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t train for it. I’m not saying I practice all those because I don’t but just trying to follow his logic from his statements.
Same thing for knives, BUGs or one handed manipulations. There is a pretty good quote that can't be fully repeated on here, but: "If you get in a knife fight, every single [freakin] thing you did that day was [freakin] wrong since you woke up in the morning." This was stated to a group of Marines. If it gets to that point, the whole situation is so messed up'd that you need to just finish it and win. Same thing for one-handed gunfighting or manipulations. If you did everything right, the situation should never get there.
