Stupid Larry Vickers Video

Both examples are stupid....the gamer who pre-planned the stage and the OFWG who also pre-planned it, but pretended that he didn't.

I especially like the notion that LV would "slowly and tactically" pie around every corner to chase down bad guys who are quietly waiting on him AFTER he's already started shooting up their buddies.

Nice to see something can be gayer than AIDS.

JFC.

Guy has obviously cleared a few of these in his time.

Seems to me that the slow speed was exaggerated to show "technique"

Vickers was a Delta shooter

Vickers knows more tactically and has sacrificed more for this country than many of us combined...some people should learn a little more about a man before they spout off against him

https://youtu.be/s4M7ud5gk8g

I used to be a lot of things that I'm not anymore, too.

The music was awesome!!

I acknowledge and appreciate his service It is, however, not a license to be FOS. This, for instance.

As the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta’s primary firearms instructor, Larry Vickers worked in a place that put more than a million rounds a year through 1911s. He’s a founding member of the International Defensive Pistol Association and is a member of the American Pistolsmiths Guild. When he says he’s seen everything that can go wrong with a 1911, I believe him.

“Now, I shoot a Glock,” Vickers tells me. “Make sure you tell guys that the 1911 is a pain in the ass. If they don’t like messing around with the pistol and spending a grand to really get it tuned, then they should forget it.”

This has as little relevance to the 500 round a year casual shooter, as dragonflies do to Migs.

You obviously haven't seen his rifle clearing, switching hands video yet.

OK, so which one would you rather have come after you?

I'm not what I used to be that I never even was.

everyone gets old and some get fat and old, but this doesn't mean he hasn't earn the right to be where he is today. People who know tactics can't always teach them , but he is trying and making a good living off his past experiences in the Military. He has my salute for his service.

You can be a bad mamajamma and still make a stupid video.

Is it true, when clearing a house, the bad guys never move or change position?

Or shoot at you?

I suppose that if we can assume that the bad guy in the house is always going to be less skilled - or lucky - than the guy clearing the house, these videos can be really useful.

I salute his service. And I can sympathize with someone in their 50's who's trying to lose weight, 'cuz I'm in the same boat.

So Travis, how do you clear rooms? Besides eating sauerkraut?

I roll one of these into each room.

I think I would use a lighted hay wagon like I saw in some movies.

I'd let the bad guy come to me. It doesn't matter how good your gun skills are if you don't have a ballistic vest (I don't) and the bad guy gets lucky (or is good). I'm staying behind the bed with the G19 and Benelli M2 with the 500 lumen Surefire forearm.

I keep talking until they shoot themselves.

But what if your long arm is on the other side of a warehouse and you have to "fight your way to a real weapon?"

Travis

I turn around, lock the door on the way out, and go home.

And burn the warehouse down.

Not if he had awesome music.

Valid point.

Who the hell is Larry Vickers? He's FOS. I shoot 500rd through my Kimber 1911 every New Year's eve. Everybody knows thats how you get really good with a pistol. The Kimber never fails. 1911's RULE! Only a idiot would trust a plastic pistol.

Fixed it for you.

And here's a hint...When you're a total douchebag by nature, you don't have to fake-troll people to be annoying.

True, but being a fat cop with a room-temp IQ is a leg-up in the annoy Dept. Who or what is this Take.a.knee?

I'll bet you doctor witness statements like you do other people's posts. Good christian, no doubt. Baptist?

WTF. 17 posts and spouting off like a little biocth.

Following the theme of retired Delta guys who post funny videos, here's another one.

He's obviously at the other end of the physical conditioning spectrum, as is his course clearing speed. His resemblance to Randy Savage is uncanny.

Never heard of him.

Which one is Leatham, the little guy with glasses or the dude with the goatee?

He's the one NOT in the sweet 5.1.11.1111.111 pants from 1999.

I believe the little guy with glasses is Travis

Situational Awareness fail. There's Apaches over that ridge and they done OODA'ed yo' azz.

I like this guy. He builds pistols on the same basic pattern I've been setting my own up for decades. I also like the way he views his work:

My philosophy on reliability and aesthetics is really pretty simple: You won’t get it if I wouldn’t carry it. If a pistolsmith doesn’t ache just a little when a gun is delivered to a customer, he probably didn’t pour enough of himself into it. Bob Rodgers, pistolsmith

25 posts (give or take) before dropping Bill Rogers' name......bravo.

You already hit on pull-ups, how about "ass-to-grass" squats?

You might get hurt doing those. I merely curtsey when I squat, if ever.

I guess it really is Take A Knee! I was confused by the picture of Leatham and his lesbian little sister.

I googled Leatham, so I know which one he is, the "lesbo"? No idea, just some fat fugg. Who is this takoknee everyone keeps referring too?

Because you don't know how to use, or even have, a camera.

And he doesn't know how to lock his PB account either.

Peanut butter?

Shhhhhhhhh................

So did TAK get banned, or why exactly is he masquerading as this new dude?

That's what community organizer, homo types do. They are on somebody's payroll. Just like the rioters/aggators in MO.

Not sure if that's TAK or a guy by the name of Dana Reed who posted under 308rules at FAL Files (and elsewhere) and has been banned everywhere he's gone for being a scam artist, among other things.

if you click on his pic, his PB account is under '308rules'

Exactly why I mentioned that. TAK has never posted any pics, ever, and the halfling in the posted pics doesn't fit the "uber fit, SF-certified (but never deployed) National Guard" TAK persona.

So, this "TAK" guy claimed to be SF? There are no midgets in SF, they're all over six feet. He's obviously a fat slob as well. Poser, if that's him. I guess we'll never know.

The fixation on "fat" and everyone else's body is rather TAK-like, though.

Yeah, all of them except for the one Army SF WO who I saw in a documentary who was 5'4".

• fat
•Rogers
•Leatham
• calling Eric a fat cop
Let alone his posting style

It's Glen Holcombe alright. AKA TAK

So, TAK is a runt? No wonder he's so fixated on everyone else's body/physique.

Yep. I recall him describing himself as aroind 5'5-5'6

Impossible, you made that up. ALL of them are six foot plus. No frickin' way a little guy could carry all that weight on those rucksack marches. You DO KNOW that ALL of them carry the same weight?

TAK's physical size didn't matter, he was all a-hole.

He probably was.

I don't know who is in the picture.

But Angussent is TAK. And TAK is a dwarf, like the guy in the pic.
