Hey all, long time. A friend of mine has recently worked with multiple SOF teams around the world at a multiday international counter-terrorism event. He has recorded a bunch of data (in fairly limited scientific way i.e. non-strict measurements, low control of variables). That data is creating a pi...

Hey guys, Jimothy sent me this video: CzbgloZiYuk It looks like limited penetration has become the new standard, the new normal... at least in some units. You will observe limited penetration techniques (and thumb-over-bore) in this video—engaging targets before entering. Typically entering crisscro...

Alive. Doing my thing. You?

"In the 80s-90s we knew the next war was gonna have a megacity. So they started running wargames and figuring out equipment thinking the next war might be Fulda, or Tokyo. They did crazy camo, skateboards, BMX bikes, knee pads, tons of stuff. Most of it didn't stay, but the kneepads and tomahawks di...

"Aim to be a zero. In his book, “An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth”, Chris Hadfield describes how to join a new team at the International Space Station. He describes every team member being either a minus 1, a zero or a plus one. A minus one is someone who takes from the team’s overall effective...

Enjoy.

He "researched SWAT tactics": http://www.news.com.au/world/north-amer ... ed09aa188a. Possibility that he used or found this forum?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Daniel_Shaver The video on this one astounded me. He followed instructions for the most part—to me it looked like when he was crawling, he went to pull at his pants. Multiple shots, excessive. One after the other without verification of threat, excessive. In my...

He said you can 'inject' the stuff in a small wound, and it can stop an 7,62x39 rounds injury within seconds. Also there are types of tourniquet that fit the pelvic area, to stop blood from flowing from the butt down. Heard about it. I saw a few prototypes years ago. I'm unsure about how reliable i...

30% of Muslims see the western culture as a threat. 20% of Muslims say they would take up arms to defend their beliefs. As a threat to what? Their way of life? What's so threatening about Western culture that they worry about? That said, I don't like polls like this. I'd take up arms to defend my b...

Low-tech terror makes sense logistically. It's a strategic choice. It also makes recent terrorist events seem more random, requiring less planning and 'shady' activities.

I have a request for anyone who is able to. Can someone archive the full site - forum included?

I have a feeling it won't be here in ten years and Martin will forget to pay the bills one day.

I asked this question to jimothy recently but I might as well put it here. Have we exhausted most of the topic of CQB? From the general standpoint of dynamics, not technology, have we exhausted the topic? I mean one topic can spiral you into another, from explosive breaching to blastwave formation a...

He's unarmed, no threat, and clearly in custody. An execution would be more humane.

Welcome to Pakistan, akhi.

Crazy, crazy world.

So most terrorists are Muslims and yet IS is not the biggest problem right now? You say mental health is?

You'd have to back up those claims. Most databases I've looked into suggest the opposite. Worldwide Incidents Tracking System suggests Islamist terrorism is number one. But that's worldwide. Global Terrorism Database, TRAC, Political Tracking Scale, all the same--worldwide. The only studies that say...

I don't think it's a razors edge. I think that some religious orders are more likely to lead to violence based off what they teach or how easy violence can be dehistorized, politicized or used today. Aum Shinrikyo for example formed due to one man who made a lot of claims. This founding ideology is ...
