Paul likes to show that you can get business done with a basic setup and that you don't need "Gucci gear".

I'm largely a rifle optics shooter these days due to eyesight... but I wouldn't trade my EOTechs even if I weren't farsighted.

Its a whole lot harder to hit a target after running several hundred yards in full kit... and even more so in Texas.

In the Guard we once did a Rifle version of the General George Patton match. In the mid-day June heat we sprinted 200 yards with LBE, holstered pistol, and rifles to the firing line and dumped a whole lot of rounds (17 at each position) into multiple targets. What would have been easy at rest, in the shade, became a total killer. I totally sweat through my entire uniform and the clothing was dripping like I just got out of the pool. The whole line shooting as fast as they could was amazing to experience. In a word it was awesome!

Lights and free-floated barrels are worth having. As are IR lasers to go with NVG. Other than that I like to keep my rifles pretty clean.

This is a classic 500 yard run-and-gun pistol/rifle drill:
