Yeager on AR-15 Malfunctions

[bwframe]

It'd be interesting to go back and see how hard and long that rifle in the challenge was used for that drill. Obviously more than one shooter used it and they were shooting fast, on the clock.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the gun was tabled and picked up on the clock also.

 

[Leadeye]

How hard have you pushed them?

I've had both since the early 80s, they are shot off and on each year. Mag dumps through the M-16 on occasion. Maybe I'm just not trying hard enough to burn them up.

Corinne Mosher is clearly very well trained, well practiced, and highly skilled. There aren't a large number of competition shooters who could handle that kind of malfunction as calmly and efficiently as she did. Many would just quit at the point she she chose to mortar to fix the issue. I am impressed.

I will refrain from noting that she looks really good in that prone shooting position, because it would be inappropriate for me to mention that she looks really good in that prone shooting position.

Most people have no clue how to handle malfunctions in any of their firearms let alone rifles. She rocked it. Always have enjoyed watching her in her element. The only thing i would have changed is to fully collapse the stock first. I have seen people bend the receiver extensions by improperly mortaring and not supporting it with the stock

Malfunction drills are key to any weapons system the young lady did well IMO.
The knee slap method seating a magazine is kinda funky to each there own.

I agree with the LAV, Mike Pannone style of stoppage drills for the AR and AK. Bolt overrides are not as common as they used to be with the M16/A1. Still can be a show stopper if you don’t know what to do.

Whatever Drill a person adopts make sure you can do it at night in the rain/snow with no light and fast.

BTW
Always have a cleaning rod as part of you kit!

Yes AK’s malfunction once in awhile!

For us AK owners, can you explain this word, "malfunction"?



Not even a ham sandwich can stop an AK.

If it is man made it will fail at some point.

I liked that video better than the Yeager video on AR malfunctions. I have seen AKs malfunction, but had not heard of the spent case trapped beneath the dust cover malfunction before.

Can you say that without causing widespread INGO butthurt?

Just don't use the word "quirk" or the Aspies will lose their hair?

That AK is just mad because it's got that goofy tacticool forearm on it.

We really need a Kirk-to-English dictionary online.

Would anyone read it? Be honest.

I would just out of morbid curiosity.

 

[Gabriel]

Would anyone read it? Be honest.

Anyone who wanted to know what you are talking about 80% of the time might.

I wouldn't read it like a novel, but I'd certainly make use of it as needed!

Maybe a series of videos with Keegan Michael Key translating "Kirk" into every day language...

A lot of people don't like JY because of the way he tends to run his mouth (kinda like Trump) but I have found that most of the skills he shares are based on solid ground.

Pretty much.


Never heard him referred to as "JY"... there's got to be a spoof commercial for "JY Jelly"...

Here is a video from Aaron of SageDynamics on AR malfunctions. He has a different take on clearing the brass over bolt malfunction:

I am a big fan of Aarons and watch all of his stuff. That being said Pannone literally wrote the book on this stuff and has used it under fire multiple times.
