Addressing Doorways in CQB
Added 2023-03-09 23:04:49 +0000 UTCI've been getting this question a lot in the messages. Here is my response.

I may have missed it but do you have a vid on breathing control during CQB? Or am I just hearing things….

2023-10-11 04:43:55 +0000 UTCThe rationale that I take from the open door issue is if a bad guy chose to hide and ambush from a dark room he would leave the door open for the advantage of seeing the homeowner when they walk by. So I see the automatic elimination of a closed door needing cleared.

2023-05-17 13:13:24 +0000 UTCThank you Shawn. Excellent presentation. One thing I also take into consideration is the structure of my home. I know that there are 2x4 or 2x6 studs in the walls, and doors have king studs and jack studs. Although these won't necessarily stop a round, they will absorb some of the energy and possibly deflect the shot. When I lived in the city, with neighbors, I used rounds that would disintegrate when they came into contact with any building material (drywall). This would minimize the possibility of a round going through my outer walls, and into the neighbors home. I was also taught by a former SWAT person to lean out of doorways versus stepping out. Stepping out and planting your foot exposes your Femoral artery and that would be a big problem if you were tagged there. Love your show and videos.

2023-03-11 21:01:14 +0000 UTCCQB has evolved quite a bit in the last few decades or so. Some tactics are location(area of the world) and or construction dependent. As an example, can the bad guy(s) shoot through the walls? In typical north American construction (except for block/concrete) they can. other parts of the world are different (mud brick, stone, etc).

2023-03-11 13:40:59 +0000 UTCshawn is very smooooth. it took him a lot of hours/days/weeks/months/years of training with a team(s) in the kill house to achieve that precision level of flow. eventually a well rehearsed team becomes like one brain, able to anticipate/read and react to each others actions. sadly even the best trained guys can still take rounds. in the firearms community, there are many people these days offering sim training, but understand that a class or two does not make anyone an expert at cqb. just my opinion.
