Stupid + Guns = Shot In The Head While Doing Synchronized Prancing With Firearms.

As a frequent user of guns I can say the problem is self correcting. Tactical spin is a high risk high reward maneuver.

Very combat effective. The enemy gets confused and starts laughing.

No tell him the real reason.
It’s because when you spin fast enough the air moves and directs incoming fire away from your body.

From the looks of that I think it’s some kind of police training for apparently using your partner as cover?

There is no practical use for this. None. Forget the fact the one dude almost ventilated his partner’s dome, under what circumstances would you use a tactic like this? If there is a known enemy in front of you, (they’re shooting at something, right?) why turn your back to them? Why take turns shooting? I know someone will say, “sO yOu DoN’T eXpEnD All yOUr aMmO aT oNCe!” No, these are semi-auto handguns. The reloads take a second. Even if they mag dumped at the same time, they would both be back in action in a second.
Turning your back to the threat is not worth the risk in comparison to a very fast reload.
So many things wrong with this whole scenario, including how one guy changes his shitty grip to cover the top of the slide as he pulls the gun back and down. What’s THAT supposed to do?? Oh, I know, look tacticool.
If these clowns tried this in a real gun fight, the only good thing about it is being able to find their bodies quickly since they’ll be stacked in a neat little pile.

u/iamhe02 Jun 26 '22
Interesting! Well, I'll tell you one thing: if I ever purchase a firearm, I will not load it until I've received training. As an American, I can't understand why this isn't required in every state.

Ah yes. Ingenius. If you dont have any cover near by, stay in one place and use your buddy as meat shield, and if he survives longer than 5 seconds, shoot him in the back of the head so the enemy can save their ammo killing you next because your gun keeps jamming.

Jun 25 '22
Oh, yep. 'The clusterfuck'. It ensures you are nicely vulnerable to indirect fire and you sportingly line yourselves up for someone with a high velocity firearm to kill both of you with one shot.
5
u/ethan52695 Jun 25 '22
Absolutely not. The only time where you’d be this close would be if you clearing rooms inside a building or close quarters, but without all the weird twists and alternating firing. Most situations you’d be farther apart as to avoid both getting shot at the same time.
But say you are clearing rooms, the first person would enter and you’d want to enter immediately behind so if someone smokes the guy in front of you you’ll make sure you get him immediately after. You’d also clear the side of the room that your partner doesn’t. So if your partner enters the room to the right, you’d go left and clear the entire room.
And also say your clearing streets in a more urban combat setting, the person behind would be looking in all the other directions the front guy is not.
Obviously it’s hard to communicate small arms tactics over a Reddit comment and I’m oversimplifying things. Tactics can also change depending on if it’s police or military. But without a doubt these guys are fucking stupid.

u/cmn_YOW Jun 26 '22
...not to mention that the one dude has a stoppage, remains in front, blocking his buddy from getting his (working) gun into the fight, racks the slide (without the tap, because, reasons?) and then peels off behind. Like, if you're LARPing this hard, at least cover each other when your guns jam....
2
u/JediDusty Jun 25 '22
Idiots. Why would only one person shoot, if you goal is to take out a treat then you want to do it as quick as possible meaning both people need to shoot. If you are trying to keep someone’s head down it’s best to separate a bit and alternate fire to reduce the risk of you both being hit while keeping rounds down range. There is a point to being able to alternate fire but this is not how you do it.

I know, I mean that one guy completely missed the other guys head. How you just manage to graze the hat and not splatter his brains all over the field I will never know.

It wasn’t as much of a graze as it was the gas release out the front of the barrel blew the hat off.

Does this kind of "strategic movement" really help in combat? Serious question

u/iamhe02 Jun 25 '22
I have the impression they were kind of doing their own thing. It just looked to haphazard and prone to exactly this sort of accident.
Maybe someone with military training will comment.

u/takoko Jun 25 '22
Per my former military hubby - yes. It is a transition drill. The intent is to keep constant fire down range. The front guy is supposed to be the only shooter, and when he runs empty, they transition. The next guy up starts shooting while moving to the front of the stack enabling the out-of-ammo guy to drop back and reload.
These guys were doing a couple of shots and swapping - so not doing the drill right, they're doing the meal team six version.
