Vickers Tactical Training Carbine Videos
Daniel Defense and Vickers Tactical have teamed up to produce a set of training videos. The first in the series is Carbine I and Carbine II. Each costs $40 for the DVD or $50 for the Blu-ray.
These videos are sure to draw comparisons with the Magpul Dynamics videos. I have not seen these yet but I am sure they do things slightly differently than Magpul does and that you will most likely benefit from these even if you already own the Magpul videos.

Flab armour against bullets.
Yeah, but will he let a sponge-bob wearing printer repairman such as myself buy these videos? ;-D
J/K. I’m sure they’ll be great videos, and I’m eager to see what additional things I can learn from them.
anyone notice half these guys are overweight, haley was force recon and a merc… i have a feeling these guys are just law enforcement doushes…
It’s interesting seeing him shooting the carbine left handed and his pistol right handed. Wonder if he’s right handed but left eye dominant.
There is a hilarious discussion of this video on the ENDO blog from a few days ago –> http://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2010/11/27/vickers-tactical-training-series-carbine-i-and-ii-from-daniel-defense/
I’m already seeing differences in the trailer; use of 2-point slings, reloading motions, etc. Among other things, Magpul guys are really good at making a case for their way of doing stuff, so it’ll be interesting to see LAV’s rationale for his methods.
Hmmm. Those movement techniques look a bit too “square range” for my tastes. Speed is important, but maintaining your footing is a pre-requisite IMHO. Try that “walk fast” stuff in an ally full of trash and you may have to engage your targets from the inadvertent “speed prone” position.
If this doesn’t include homo-erotic overtones and burly men with hairy chests exposing themselves I will be very disappointed. Magpul has set the bar pretty high on that front.
Even with my massive mancrush on Chris and Travis, this’ll be worth checking out in order to get a second opinion. I’m looking forward to it.
