Royal Marine Reacts To How Keanu Reeves Learned To Shoot Guns For 'John Wick' - Movies Insider
Today I react to How Keanu Reeves Learned To Shoot Guns For 'John Wick' by Movies Insider. I didn't know Keanu Reeves knew this much about weapons! He skills are incredible. I think Keanu Reeves is genuinely amazing at this and has definitely been practicing a lot for his John Wick movies. I wonder if he used some of these skills in Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Project Red!!!

Hey man! thanks for picking our video to react to. And thanks for not roasting me too much :) Yes this was the first time I'd shot any of those guns, and the first time I'd shot any type gun since I was in boy scouts. Not familiar with them at all, and I was super nervous about accidentally shooting my toes off. but it turned out to be a great experience. They also were grilling me about my posture. But in my defense, my posture is bad all the time, not just holding guns. Anyway thanks again and keep up the great videos! - Joe
This is wholesome
Honestly, it comes with practice. In the Army, we were trained to exaggerate our forward can’t so that when we got on the firing line, we were used to leaning forward. If you buy a gun and continue training with it, practice exaggerating bending forward at the hips and keeping your back strait.
You actually did great for a first time shooter, standing and in the high ready position. Honestly, rarely does anyone have a perfect posture when shooting. Range shooting, competition shooting or even in real combat. Standing, kneeling , sitting, and laying down in the prone position doesn’t matter; whatever feels most comfortable for you is how you should shoot. When you tried to aim the with the pistol. You can almost tell it’s a first time shooter, because many people aim with one eye open, instead of both eyes being opened. Whats funny is Im actually supposed to be a left handed shooter because of my dominant eye. However, I feel more comfortable shooting with the right side vs shooting on my left side. I always tell new shooters to picture the weapon as an extension of their arm, always keep the weapon on safe, and muzzle pointed up n down range(muzzle awareness). I haven’t ever seen anyone draw standing square, squat, with a straight back ever, lol. That’s just too uncomfortable to do, lol. But it’s fun to point out things we see because how were trained. It’s actually quite funny watching ourselves after shooting. You see the bad posture, slight hesitation, and everything you do wrong; but during training you thought you did everything right!
@Muckan Once upon a year it was. I used to shoot practical pistol on courses similar to the one shown. Great sport. I was certificated to shoot in Europe. In competition you had the standards which simulated about every event likely, being shot in your dominant arm, so dropping the mag and reloading one handed, belt buckle or between the knees by the way, belt buckle caused havoc with the rear sights. Drawing with right and transferring to left and then shooting with non dominant hand. El presidente was a good one involving hostages and the you had the course of fire, engaging targets on the move, had to count shots plan your reloads etc all against the clock, shooting through letterboxes, jumping out of door ways onto mattresses and engaging targets, loved it. It does take a bit of time to when you first start as you cannot get over you are holding a real gun, so you are naturally a bit scared. Once you are confident though you speed up and learn other things. Used to reload my own rounds too, trying to hit the sweetspot between accuracy, power and recoil. Ahh rambling now, I really loved the sport, then some dickhead ruined it.
@@DisgruntledDisabledCombat_Vet 4+ years in service and I still wrap my sling around my arm when kneeling and have trouble keeping a good posture. when I read your last sentence I felt it in my soul haha.
Taran Tactical is located in California. They teach shooting skills to actors and competitive shooters. The dogs are Belgian Malanois. The Navy SEALS use them.
They are just Malinois. Malines, from where they are named is in Belgium
@Molecule Mind Yes, he is... in fact, Jade was one of the girls he harassed.
@@AboutDogTraining3 its actually “ Mechelse herder” and the city is called “Mechelen”. Source: im from Belgium 😅
Oh ok I thought the dogs were just german shepherds
More specifically it's in Simi Valley California, just down the hill from the Ronald Reagan presidential library
Whats even more amazing is that he is left handed and proficiently shots right handed.
His handedness doesn’t really matter when it comes to shooting, it depends on eye dominance. For instance I am right handed but left eyed dominant so I shoot left handed
@@samwalter135 same
Shooting goes by eye dominance not hand doninance
@@samwalter135 how to know which one is your eye dominance?

So many ppl don’t realize the throwback to the first Matrix when they have John/Neo say “Guns. Lots of guns!”.
its true, when i saw it i flipped out, cuz im a huge matrix fan. That was pretty cool on their part.
I think many people do … :-)
I did and then my wife called me a nerd 😔
Most people I've spoken to about the film know this.
Loved that Easter egg. Freaked watching and my ol lady thought I was going crazy
Keanu is a badass shooter. Hes not acting on screen. His experience is real lol.
Not real
@@jaegarrison4448 except it's not he does most of his stunts himself
Jae Garrison it is real, he had to be trained for these John Wick movies and with The Matrix. He had to learn different fighting styles and to shoot a gun, plus the “gun-fu.”
@@jaegarrison4448 his shoting experience is real.but his kiliing experience XD.
@@PraiseTheGreatVoid its called gun fu for a reason...
You said about Keanu's skill in reloading a handgun one-handed. He actually reloads the mag and releases the slide as normal, but then he jumps his hand up the back of the grip to pull the slide back with his fingers to check the round has sat properly in the chamber. The reason he does this (so I've been told) is that that particular handgun (I forget which one it actually was) has a regular issue with not seating the round correctly, so in order to be authentic they got Keanu to do that move. Obviously it could have been done two-handed, but the one-handed approach looks so much cooler.
yeah it's a press check basically. it's a kimber 1911, has trouble loading the first round.
4:30 "Where's he goin? Gun's over here mate" That made me chuckle
“Literally showing John wicks badass shooting skills” OriginalHuman: “I want to learn more about the doggos” 😂
Would be cool
There is a video talking about the dogs and how much Keeanu loves dogs.
John Wick would approve
I want this guy to be a playable Operator in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Peejay Anderson Lol. What a great Unlock character that would be.
I'd spend... I'd waste money on it.
Except John Wick isn't a camper like EVERYONE else in that shitty, safe-space game. Oh I miss the days when FPS games took skill to master.
@@merces47letifer4 we are in the era of mediocrity. From our governments, to our entertainment, education, social life. Ect

Something a Gamer woudn't say or do
I've seen USPSA shooters reload so fast they hit their empty mags back into the gun with the loaded mag in their hand.

*mw2 flashbacks*
8:56 "what's this here?" - it's a flip up front sight. Allows you to deploy it if needed when your red dot battery goes out and co-witness with the iron sight through the scope.
if you didn't know, Keanu was already competing in 3 guns events for a couple of years before the John Wick movies, that was not just for the movie
Lol he’s just really about that 2A lifestyle hell yea
if im not mistaken, he "learned" how to shoot for the matrix trilogy, thats also when he learned several forms of martial arts
There is literally no record of keanu competing in any 3 gun events. Ever. He doesnt even own a firearm himself
So,obviously, you dont know either. None of the registries from any sanctioned events have him listed as a competitor. He has no ranking in 3 gun competitions,or any other firearms competition for that matter. Stop spreading false information for attention. Ignorance is not an excuse
Now we know why invading America would be a bad idea. There are more Guns than people😂

@@Matt-et8jw Right
☝🏻Like it's been said. More guns than intelligence
For anyone interested, the Benelli M4 that he was curious about IS the common point man shotgun for both US and Royal Marines. It's excellent for entry teams. I believe most Nato forces use it as well.
Keanu is a master of his art and learns his skills so he looks totally authentic on screen 👌
That is why the John Wick films were so popular.

@dianna k hahahaha I'll wait
If you didn't know, not only does Keanu do his own stunts, but he is legitimately a motorcycle junkie. He has his own motorcycle company called "Arch" and it's a high-end custom American motorcycle manufacturer founded by Keanu himself, back in 2011. He's also just a great person overall, giving out $75 million away to each member of the SFX and costume teams that were involved in the making of The Matrix. They received $1 million dollars per person, instantly making them all millionaires.
He is also a black belt in Brazilian jui jitsu
@Nick Fletcher. yeah i don't know about the amount, but i do belive he took a pay cut in one of the sequels or movies he did to get more crew, and im pretty sure he gave cars or motorcycles to the crew.
Hello man!
@Bizal008 I went to HS with him in Etobicoke, he was quiet and reserved there, it's his personality, hes shy as hell. Don't assume someone is an ass hat because they are an introvert and keep to themselves.
i knew the 1st part but im not sure about 2nd one..
“It’s like he’s scared of it.” He probably is.
He definitely is. Has been brainwashed his entire life about how scary it all is. Funny how much fun he was having by the end.
@@everydaywalk8097 Or, maybe it's just the noise and kick he isn't used to. It isn't all brainwashing and conspiracy theories.
@@TimedRevolver ikr these guys see conspiracies everywhere, i wasn't brainwashed to hate swords but the first time i used a real one i wasn't very comfortable. it is a deadly weapon being a little anxious around it at first is not weird
@@everydaywalk8097 so if I give you a welding machine, a bandsaw, a chainsaw and a blowtorch, you will handle everything without thinking twice or asking me for advice? Same for all the new people at our mma training. It's natural to fear the unknown.
@Revan Ruler EXACTLY. The first time I handled a legit, sharpened sword it was a but unnerving. I don't care how versed someone is with knives. Put a 3.5ft, 3lb, double edged long sword or a 2ft long razor sharp katana in their hands and they are going to want instruction before swinging it around. Then imagine handing them a 6lb Egyptian Khopesh shaped unlike any other blade they've ever handled...
‘I wanna know more about the dogs’ Me too, man, me too.
Thank you for compliment I'll if you add me on my private Gmail hangout keanureeves22208@gmail.com
That thing in front of the optic of the firearm is just a flip-up backup sight, in case the optic fails/battery dies.
I was trained on a red dot with a front sight set up to show you how to center the dot in the middle of the glass aligned with the front post. I've seen some instructors train with both front and rear up with the dot on to train the newbie on how to line up sights, then bringing the backup sights into the standard lower 1/3 setup.
BERNELY M4
Franchi
If I’m not mistaken the item in question in front of the MRO is actually a TLR-8G from Streamlight.
jpstoops I was referring to what the Marine was pointing out at 8:33. Looks like a Magpul MBUS sight. You’re right though... later in the vid they seem to have swapped it with a light.
Not only is Keanu Reeves a skilled marksman,as shown here but the guy has also extensive martial arts training. He trained Muay Thai Kickboxing,Karate and various other striking martial arts with Daniel Berhardt,who is a veteran stuntman and martial arts expert. (You may know him as the Agent who fights Morpheus in Matrix Reloaded,on top of the truck or as "Kyrill",the chief-henchman of the russian mob,in John Wick 1 and many other movies like Atomic Blonde,Hobbs & Shaw etc.) On top of that,he did extensive BJJ training with the Machiado and Gracie Family,for the John Wick movies. Carlos Machiado actually said in an interview,that Keanu took the whole training extremely serious and was a fast learner,if he was 20 years younger he could have take part in official competitions and fare really well in matches.
Fanboy much?
@@benben071 Probably, but it certainly seems like there's good reason to be. Having said that, it's also entirely possible that this dude just finished a rabbit hole of Wikipedia and this is the result of that.
I thought Danny played his oldest son of the Russian Mob boss. The little boy did call him his brother in the film. (Little boy is the main dumb fuck protagonist who stole his car, and killed his dog)
Nice to know
@@alanchung6843 its easier when somebody does the looking for you🤣
This discipline called “practical shooting.” The international club is called IPSC, international practical shooting confederation. USPSA, United States Practical Shooting Association, is the US club of IPSC. It is easy to find an IPSC club whatever country you are in. Of course countries that allow guns. Where I live you can shoot a USPSA “match” every weekend at different ranges.
I think he was asking about Taran Tactical specifically, though I would imagine most ranges for this would have a somewhat similar setup. I was looking up the Taran Tactical stuff, but the only address I saw in a quick search was the business address, which specified online orders only. So that didn't seem like that would be the range.
USPSA Life member. Competed 1981-1988, shot in 80 matches. Stopped when it became a game and not a martial art.
FINALLY, someone offering real advice, not keyboard commandos!!!
@@markcurry1168 NO, most ranges in the wworld DO NO have a similar setup. Practical Shooting is specialized sport in over 130 countries world wide! 'Most ranges' usually shoot smaller caliber pistols, such as air pistols and 38 caliber rounds. Usually Olympic game stuff, stand still sand shoot!
That little extra thing in front of the red dot sight is a flip up hard sight.
Keanu is so cool idk what else to say he’s just like the pinnacle of human existence
*Elon Musk has entered the chat
@@pinheadlarry8923 he entered joining us to praise Keanu even more.

Pinhead Larry Why is it always a competition? When talking about the pinnacle of human existence there can be more than one model. Stop trying to out do the next guy and offer praise to both. One doesn’t have to be put below the other when they can both be viewed as exceptional.
@@brandonl.4892 you're comparing a movie star to someone who is making remarkable steps to improve the entire human race 😂😂😂 idw to hear it, I'm not discrediting what Keanu does or has accomplished but you morons actually believe he is the pinnacle of human existence
Mr Reeves has mad skills at the range. I remember when I first saw him at this gun range. I was absolutely blown away at how impressive he was and what amplifies how badass he is even more is what an absolute awesome dude in real life he is, not stuck up not big headed just a solid diamond geezer! Great vid man keep up the awesome work and stay safe!
Makes some insane motorcycles too....Just can't afford them..LOL! Actually, he does most of his stunts and is trained in Martial Arts and various combat techniques including knives and other weapons. When people watch Wick, they aren't seeing CGI and stand in's shooting and fighting for him. Big props to Halle Berry too! This is a stunning woman who isn't afraid to get dirty. Not only is she a monster with guns, but she finished every sauce on her wing challenge. Imagine being married to a woman who walks into a ball room and turns every head, then puts on jeans and a T-shirt and goes out shooting?
Yeah man keanu is the best actor ever to excist hes just a real nice guy
You never saw him at a gun range shut up you look desperate.
I mean there are videos of Keanu Reeves shooting at this range, the OP might be referencing that and not actually being at the range since he said he "saw" and not "met".
@@alanchung6843 I'm pretty sure he meant on video.
Royal Marine: "That's a terrible English accent." ....I'll take his word for it
The sight is a trijicon mro and the front part is the crismson trace laser they are separate parts but both fit on the pic rail
The extra “scope” is a red dot mounted at 45 degrees to transition from a scope with magnification for longer ranges to a red dot for close quarters. Very popular 3 gun setup.
Actually he was talking about the crimson trace railmaster mounted in front of the optics, and what you're referring to is a 1x red dot canted optic for the purpose you stated
But canted shooting is such shite
@@merces47letifer4 what's wrong with canted shooting? Just as fast and accurate when done properly
That's what I was thinking or holographic sights
Isnt that basically canted sights??
The fact that the dude said "how Keanu learned how to LOOK like an expert" irritates me. He became an expert shooter
True
Taran's business is making actors look like experts. Keanu took to it and became an actual marksman.
His business is tactical training and 3 gun comp training not making people look like professional
No one is an expert shooter if he/she didn't participate in an actual gun fight. Manikins don't (usually) fire back. I would reserve the terms "expert shooter"or "marksman" to high level law enforcement (like SWAT), military, marines, professional assassins, etc...
You can look as cool as ya want doing anything.. I just cant believe he actually signed up for such a shitty movie. The actions is kinda cool, but the power rangers could fight well too..
Apologies if someone else has already said this, but the British armed forces point man uses an L128A1, which is the Benelli M40 Super 90 semi auto, so you're right it is the same one!
Just found this and love the video! As an American with similar experience, let me formally thank you for your service to your country and the world. Your commentary is spot on. Keep up the great work!
“why is he leaning back? he looks like hes scared or smth” 🤣 love that
probably because shit like this happens so a newbie has every right to be worried if they don't know how much force to expect.sports.yahoo.com/video/gun-flies-mans-hands-193652790.html
@@guitarman0365 But seeing how limp his arms were, a gun would be more likely to fly out of his hands more than leaning forward, taking a steadier stance, and stiffening up his arms a little.
Hes holding the gun with left arm and aiming with right eye. XD
Maybe a reload timer or something on that scope
Probably because every gun in that frame would be classified as illegal in California....
"Look at the accuracy!" He's a world champion for a reason 😎
How Keanu Reeves learned to “look” like a professional marksman. I’d be mildly insulted if I went through that course like a supremely accurate beast and someone told me I “look” like a marksman.
Well, it's correct because unless Keanu actually went and competed, it's just for looks. I'd bet he'd place pretty well in competitions with his training, but he and Halle still only look like professional marksmen because they haven't competed.
@@scottbitz5222 Yeah, to be called a "Pro" you need to compete and put the skill to use. In their case, they only used it for the film.
When John wick does the one hand thing he wasn’t reloading, it was just a fancy little pressure check to make sure there was one in the pipe.
Press isn't short for pressure, you're literally pressing on the slide to slightly take the pistol out of battery to visually confirm there's a round in the chamber.
StoutOfHeart yeah, I typed “press check” but I think it auto corrected to pressure. I know what a press check is haha
If it was an Italian shotgun, it was the Benelli M4 as seen in this video. The designation in the UK military is the L128A1 if Wikipedia is to be trusted

Friendly tip. the "," keys allow you to go forward and backward respectively to the arrows/carrot keyboard characters. It advances you exactly one single frame in either direction on KZhead. Makes trying to sift through the video, replaying in slow motion, things like that a lot easier. #geektipoftheday
You my friend..... you ... are a good man
woah. thanks man
What a mensch 🙏
That is an awesome tip.
the more you know..
9mm Major refers to the "power factor" attained by loading the standard case with more powder. The 2011 can handle more pressure and longer cartridge length than the standard load, therefore more velocity.
100% correct!
12:31 - Benelli M4. That's classic of classics. My dad has one and he's definitely very fond of it as a shotgun guy. Not my two cents in the world of long range precision rifles, but I must say that it packs a punch and it has very elegant design (lightweight carbon fiber with plastic components)
If I wanted any shotgun, it would be that. But it is expensive!
8:44 is a laser. More specifically the Crimson Trace Rail Master Green Laser. You can find that exact gun and all the specs on the Taran Tactical website if you want more info. Also, it's an MPX, not an AR platform, so specifically a competition gun.
Doesn't mean its a competition gun. The Sig Sauer MPX is first and foremost a Pistol Caliber Carbine and was developed primarily as a submachine gun. It's just marketed that way on the civilian version of Sig's website, because competitors are primarly the ones buying it.
its sub machinegun not a competition gun
The MPX puts a nice dent in your bank account. Trust me
If you want a mpx i would just build a 8 inch 300 blkout. 9mm in carbine just seems dumb to be... Its a badass looking gun though
J the MP5 also shoots 9mm but I would not put it in the competition category. That is an SMG. The MPX is an SMG and this is is the civilian variant of it. An MPX Carbine would do just fine protecting one's apartment. It does not quite have the stopping power of an AR-15 but I still would not pass up an MPX for home defense. AR is the superior platform though.
In the 82nd, we called our Remington's the master key.
It has been a long while since I've heard that nickname thrown out there! Thanks for the nostalgia lol.

I was looking forward to the Metal Storm MAUL, but then the company folded.
Because it can open any door
I have been really enjoying these videos. The first that caught my attention was the one with one of the lads , on a off day from Embassy training, clearing the situation in Nairobi.
I'm a little surprised he didn't discuss the "Center Axis Reset" hold of the gun. Notice how Keanu keeps his pistols slightly canted off center on the range and in the movie. It is not anything like "gangsta's grip" where the handgun is held almost horizontal. The purpose of the CAR is so you can keep your gun closer to your chest while shooting. Looks like Keanu is using a modified weaver stance otherwise. Feet shoulder length apart with your "weak" foot slightly forward but keeping your shoulders forward while turned slightly towards the target. It's almost impossible to remain fast and accurate while standing upright with your shoulders back.

“Where’s he going?! The guns over here m8” I’m sobbing 😂
Anticipating the recoil. Yes!. When I was taught how to shoot; My instructor gave me a revolver he said was fully loaded but it was not. He loaded every other round in the cylinder. The first round went "click" and I pushed foarward to anticipate the recoil. He stopped me and explained how I should just let it surprise me, practice grip and fundamentals and be confident and have a good grip on the weapon. A few boxes of ammo later, I'm very confident with my gun now👍
as mentioned, the part in front of the optic is a folded down flip-up back-up iron sight. they just don't have a matching front site mounted that i saw.
The “what is that in the AR-15 “ just looks like a mag pull flip up iron sight just folded down.
That would be exactly what they are magpul backup flip up iron sites, I think they suck
Thats what I thought aswell rear magpull sight
It's also a co-witness when folded down from the looks of it. There is a certain chance I am wrong.
Yup, I just answered, then went down knowing someone else had gotten to it previously.
@@spatha2456 i mean irons are just to get the job done now days, thats what they do lol
When John wick does the “one hand pistol load” and maneuvers his hand to grip the slide one handed, it’s not a load, it’s a one handed press check to ensure there is a round in chamber
When straight to the comments looking for this exact response lol
Id love to see you react to just Keanu's training footage. It's truly impressive and im sure you'd enjoy it!
in front of the scope is a fold-up/down iron sight for back up purposes. some people prefer cantilevered iron sights as back ups.
You very likely used a Benelli, possibly the M4. It “entered service” in 1999, so it depends on when you ended service and when your branch started using it.
wrong forces mate he (luke) is british
Nevermind it is indeed the m4 benelli lol
Should be called L128A1, basically a M4 with some custom sight according to the internets.
The UK have used Benelli shotguns . en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benelli_M4
Its the L128A1 mate
This video should be titled - reacts to random guy being shown how keanu was trained
exactly
Rando hollywood beta reporter.
exactly!
I believe that 1 hand check mentioned at the end was Reeves checking to make sure the bullet was chambered properly because he was using a kimber which has issues sometimes when chambering the first round
The part of the scope you were asking about were just flip up iron sights for if your optics crapped out or dies or whatever you had those as back ups right there
You should react, operation ,black swan Mexican marines, when they caught el chapo
Awevo que si jajajajaj
Yeaaaaaaa
Dr. Delaney nope you’re thinking about the other video where the Beltran Leyva suffered 11 casualties from the Marines using the Minigun.The one he’s talking about is the house Raid where the Mexican marines are in a firefight in the safehouse. You could probably find the video on KZhead tho👍🏽 Correct me if I’m wrong tho:D
I love Jeff "Ghost" Leach, he brings such intensity to his WZ matches. That will be good fun surely!
The sight you was asking about was a back-up sight, folded down when not in use. Instead of being way up front, they mounted it further back.
The scope you were asking about was a red dot. The part in front was his front iron sight, flip up type
I watch anything Taran, he taught that man correctly. Taran tactical Keanu is a class act personally in everyway
Your shotgun was likely the Benelli M4, also known as the M1014. It is designated as the L128A1 in the British Army.
You forgot to mention that its the same shotgun he used in MODERN WARFARE 2 REMASTERED when he played the mission takedown for almost an hour.
This
8:40 It's a Crimson Trace model 206 green laser for a pistol. It's turned upside-down and mounted on the top Pic rail. They are low enough to not block the red dot optic. Competition shooters put them on there for shots that are faster when the gun is being held without the stock mounted and weak side shooting. They are usually sighted in for up close shots. I sometimes use mine for really close headshots instead of the red dot during competitions. Most red dots are sighted in for 15 to 25 yds and so the offset is enough to toss a lesser point hit up close.
That part of the scope you spoke about at 8:32 is actually a flip up sight. Just like the MAGPUL MBUS Flip Up sights

I hate to tell you buddy, but many of the best shooters in the world...... Are civilians. The rest are special forces.
I agree because you’re only trained with certain weapons unless you’re SF but what do you mean civvies? Like competitions and stuff or is there another way? Because for me personally being a good shooter is about how well you can shoot when bullets are flying past your head or hitting the ground or walls next to you. I could be wrong but some lunatic down the shooting range who thinks he could single handily take on a Delta Force would probably flap it and freeze up the minute he feels a bullet fly past him.
I applaud Keanu, Michelle, and Halle's displayed skills. It's harder than it looks. You've got to be fast but safe is priority #1 so you have to drill safety alot and try to be considerate in your movement at all times.
The item in front of the Trijicon MRO on the MPX Joe is shooting is a Crimson Trace CMR-206 green laser. Jade's MPX gun appears to have a Streamlight TLR-7 mounted in front of the optic.
Bad news: Q: Does Taran Tactical Innovations offer any firearms training courses? A: Unfortunately, our range is not open to the general public at this time. We do not offer any classes or firearm training. . So that must've been a special course for Halle Berry and Keanu Reeves at a high cost. Name-brand actors, name-brand pricing...
BladeArtist 205 haha 😂 😂😂
this is probably ore recent response due to covid, the film came out way before that
They do offer training, but they're are closed due to California being on a shut down for covid19.. ANYWAYS! 😒🙄 the course is not cheap at all
@@KinJames02 Taran doesnt train plebs, just hot chicks and celebs

This reminded me of the "Can Airsoft Translate to Real Firearms" video from T.REX ARMS for some reason, would be an awesome video to react to since you are interested in airsoft. Hope you see this XD
Yeah
I love that video
Video is awesome. Just a big suck it to people who say dry fire is a waste of time
Is this the one with laikutactical
Airsoft is excellent for weapon handling skills and weapon manipulation, as most decent Airsoft weapons mimic real steel weapons for reloading and fire controls manipulation.
AR optic that you asked about I "think" is a Trijicon MRO and in front of it is a folded down flip up rear sight that would have 1/3 or possible full co-witness through the optic when flipped up.
12:51 I think the shotgun you’re talking about is the Benelli M1.
I thought it was the Benelli M4, could be wrong.
@@andrewdunn378 yup Benelli M4 aka the L128A1 Combat Shotgun :)
@@andrewdunn378 It is the Benelli M4, my mistake.
I think He talks About SPAS-12
@@FoxLoverCZ Yeah, it might be the SPAS-12 because the Benelli M4 is literally mentioned in the video, it would've reminded him if it was the shotgun that he was thinking about. But then again, he didn't really described what it looked like.
8:57 that reload was very impressive for someone starting out. Everyone should have some basic firearms training in my opinion.
kinglou1099 the magwell makes reloads fast and smooth
Yukikaze617 I know it may be easier but you still have to perform it.
8:40 it's a flip up front iron sight incase the red dot runs out of battery. Its probably co-witness with the red dot
Nope, it's a crimson trace laser. Looks like a flip up buis (though the rifle doesn't have a rear sight), but it's not.
I do agree the standing position, is the last you learn, and as you said lying, one knee and standing, than you dont lean bak as you learn the balance with the gun. Thanks nice video.
The front part of that scope is just a backup iron sight. The rail doesn’t go all the way to the front on that gun, which is the typical location for backup irons

That thing in front of the ACOG on the AR15 is a canted laser for quick follow up shots in low light.
Definitely some made range skills! Both Erin and I would LOVE to do a shooting range like this. One of the first times she came to visit me in Texas, we took her out to my Uncle's ranch and had her shooting an AR-15, 9mm, .45 and I think she pulled off one round on a 12 gauge shotgun! She loved shooting the spinning steel targets!
The scope on the rifle / carbine was (the bit in front) likely an improved flip up front site. And the shotgun the UK forces use is the L128A1 which is a Benelli M4, the difference between this one, and the one you probably trained on is the furniture. Different stock, fore end, shorter mag tube (theirs is longer). All these firearms have Taran Tactical custom kits put in them. Their site has more info about them tarantacticalinnovations.com/
The one they used for training was the Benelli m2 the m4 was in the movie
Those aren't BUIS, that's actually a green laser from Crimson Trace. tarantacticalinnovations.com/tti-mpx-pcc-ca-featureless/
@@elbryan9 That's pretty cool, also makes sense.
@@CudiMajic No doubt. Good eye. Got that classic Benelli look.
Some one is new to shooting but what is a carbine ?
He just called an AR-15 and assault rifle...I can already hear the screaming Edit: The AR in AR-15 means Armalite Rifle which is why I made the joke since common civilians assume the AR means Assualt Rifle when the AR-15 is NOT an assault rifle. ALSO I was referring to the guy in the video not Orginal Human
😂😂😂😂
it isn't? Is it a carbine or something? Sorry, am only into WWII guns.
@GROOT Assault Rifle is a legally defined term in America meaning, among other things, select fire: the ability to fire multiple rounds with a single pull of the trigger(three round burst or full-auto). The AR15 is by definition a civilian version of the military M16/M4 which is semi-auto only. Assault Weapon is a political term which is not legally defined. It usually refers to weapons that are semi-auto with the ability to accept a detachable magazine but it can vary by source.
@@bryanayers4557 wait wait hold up. I understand now that it's just a legal term, so thank you for teaching me that but the m4 is a carbine and the m16 a rifle so how can the ar15 be a civillian version of those combined?
@@grootsyt the AR15 can be a pistol, a rifle, or a carbine. Unlike the M1 Garand or M1 Carbine having the same M1 designation but use different ammo, .30-06 Springfield and .30 Carbine, the AR15 will all use a rifle caliber round (5.56/.223 being the most common). You can put whatever size barrel you want on it (insert SBR disclaimer here). The term "AR15" or more commonly "AR" is used so loosely here that my Sig M400 Enhanced is considered an AR15. Similar to how anything that looks like a Kalashnikova is an "AK" Unlike the M1 Garand or M1 Carbine .30-06 Springfield vs .30 Carbine. the M4 and M16 are essentially the same weapons with different barrel lengths and appropriately sized furniture. The trigger groups, bolt carrier group, and buffer, etc. may differ slightly depending on the variant and select-fire options but it's all modular and interchangeable within this weapon platform. Sorry if this came across as a word salad, i ran out of time to clean up my thought while at work.
The Trijicon ACOG (Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight) is a fixed-power compact riflescope with an illuminated chevron reticle.
4:25 i was literally about to say that its a rule that i go by always treat every gun like it’s loaded. Just basic respect for firearms. If you respect firearms they will respect you
What does that mean?
@@jojossugardaddy5253 There are several tenets to gun safety, and "treating a gun as if it's loaded" is one of them. Basically, if you treat a gun as though it's loaded, you're not going to be putting your finger on the trigger and pointing the gun everywhere all willy nilly, or leaving the safety off when not in use. In short, if you treat a gun like it's loaded, you're going to (should) be extremely careful. Guns are awesome, but you don't fuck around with them.
8:32 It's a secondary/backup sight, I have them on all of my rifles. Most on a 45 degree offset. In the event of a scope malfunction/break.
Scott Webb I’m just trying to figure why they have set so far back when they have all that real estate up top. Has to be just for short shot for competition.
@@calscout It looks like he has a short picatinny rail.
Why its not offset I don't know, especial how Keanu shoots at close range.
8:46 That appears to be a Crimson Trace rail laser in front of a Trijicon MRO red dot.
Finally! Someone got it right. Everyone seems to think that's a back-up iron sight.
@@elbryan9 I did too, it looks like a folding iron sight.
Yeah, that's definitely the Crimson Trace Railmaster. It looked too bulky for a front sight plus its missing the rear sight if it was a front sight. I also went to their facebook page and saw the female holding the rifle and got a closer look and definitely matches the Crimson Trace Railmaster Series.
Your voice in intros is so smooth, can't get over it :D
Hello from the states. I just happened upon your video. Great content, keep up the awesome work!!
Front part of the optics appears to be a flip up front post sight.
I saw it but it appears to be lacking a rear sight post. Odd. Though The rail isn't the whole gun, I'm not sure what it is. 3rd edit. IDK front sight post without the back post maybe?
Collapsible correct? My question it is: "does it have a red dot collapse or clear", I'd imagine it would have a red dot site, but with the scope on it behind the collapse idk how it would work out.
You can’t really tell from the video but taran always sets up the AR9 with that MRO optic and a WML (weapon mounted light) in front of it. It’s not a flip up sight. If it were, it would not be mounted so close to the optic.
@@skorpien617 came here to say the same. But it looks goofy to me regardless.
It is a flip up front sight and I bet it's there to help train newbies how to find the red dot and get on target faster. Front iron sight will co-witness with the dot, no rear irons needed, and once the shooter gets the hang of using the red dot sight the iron is folded down and out of sight for maximum field of view for your pew ;)
He looks like a really sweet and energetic person i wish he had a million or two subscribers
The part you were referring to in front of the scope on the carbine is a backup sight. They fold down and if your optic goes out or is bad you use your thumb to flip a ‘switch’ and it’ll pop up what is essentially an iron sight. If you notice when he’s talking about shooting his feet off you’ll see the rear flip up sight on the rail system
Loved this. Thank you.
i believe the front part of the top rail is a better flip up iron sight
Not an iron sight. You would need something at the end of the barrel for aiming an iron sight, not just a single reference point midway down the barrel. Also, any type of weapon system that would have an optic top mounted would mount an offset mounted iron sight on the right side of the optics to not get in the way. The other option for mounting iron sights would be to have a higher mounted optic, almost always a scope, not a red dot, with iron sights under the line of sight with raised rings. You wouldn't find a set up like that in a high performance gun though. What's mounted is a laser, specifically a Crimson Trace Rail Master.
@@charmi711711 why is it mounted right in front of the sight? I don't particularly like that set up. It can't be switch to iron sights on the fly. I'm also one of those who thought it was a flip up iron sight.
@@gibblets17 Because it's a specifically set up 3 gun rifle made for single stages where you test your equipment before any particular stage and know your stuff is working. This isn't a military weapon. It goes into a case, then a safe, is cleaned regularly, tested before going to the range and is babied. If I was going to war I'd never use something like this. Purely a comp gun. Also, the weapon system has no other attachment points or rails on it other than a top rail that ends before the barrel starts. It's also low enough to not get in the way of the dot in the sight. The entire handguard is designed to dissipate heat and keep the barrel as cold as possible for the rounds you're putting down range.
CM That’s not 100% correct. A lot of set ups don’t use offset irons and have flip ups for back up or possibly cowitness if it’s not a magnified optic. Though you are right that it’s probably not a back up iron, not necessarily because it’s midway on the rifle, because the rail only extends that far, but also because if you look closely, there’s no rear iron sight to use with it.
It's not an iron sight, it's actually a green laser from Crimson Trace. tarantacticalinnovations.com/tti-mpx-pcc-ca-featureless/
I would enjoy seeing your reaction to Jerry Miculek.
That little scope on the side you were interested in was a canted sight with a red dot most likely for cqb. It's on a 45 degree angle, you can see John Wick using it when he turns the rifle sideways sometimes.
Taran's school is located in southern California USA. 9mm major is a competition load. The device in front of the optic is a folding front sight, you can have it up to co witness your sight or down and just run your dot
