Soooo.... A misspelling in the first sentence...Followed by a "live fire" while shooting around people...In addition to some horrible muzzle discipline...might have missed some other faux pas...

Plus having shot "for real" around non-combatants , trust me they just don't stand there calmly while you shoot around them , over them or near them etc ...*

If that video shows you guys at your best .... Then no thanks.

*Edit to add :
I do not consider myself a "operator" , expert at anything or general all around bad azz.
Nor do I think I could teach a course in Close Quarter Combat.
But I do have four combat tours , some of which involved urban warfare and shooting around civilians.
All of which means doodly squat ... But then I don't go around "training" others in bad practices either...

Granted it was a few years back but I was trained in CQC and I will second that Andy. No way my Instructors would have done some of that.

Ive seen russians train the same way (with people down range)

Nice use of tires. 5 points for Pretorianpuffs.

Reminds me a bit of the book I read called Spooky 8

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt

You could get the same training benefit without risking lives using paintball markers. Teaching poor muzzle discipline and taking unnecessary risks is just silly. I'm unimpressed. Some mall ninja will now shoot one of his buddies while trying to duplicate the actions in this video in order to be "cool".

Training scars heal slowly....

Oh, and some of the people I work with....NO FREAKING WAY. I dont even like being on the firing line of a North/South range vs in front if them!

Here is the issue I have, they are assuming no malfunction possible.
I have seen first hand a malfunction send a bullet way way off the intended target.
Death imminent, ok then risk "maybe" required to that level. But training live
thinking your firearm is perfect? I watched this and thought ok maybe in a blockbuster they try that stuff, but whom......... geees at a loss..,

Look more like SofaTaters to me.

I would not, and I repeat NOT want to be a guy on that training setup, especially one they are firing around.
Q: does anyone know if there are training systems where there are animatronic tangos? (not just pop-up / swing out targets).

Whats funny is if you watch when they begin to clear the tire course with a rifleman and the guy with the pistol, the pistol dude has a malfunction and lags behind clearing his malfunction.
