The Fighting Rifle book 1 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The subject matter is the use of a semi-automatic rifle in a combat environment or military, SHTF environment, and will also refer to Personal Defense Weapons (PDWs) as they have roughly the same format.

This manual focuses primarily on the combative use of semi auto rifles, not marksmanship per se. You can take basic shooting courses with instructors who teach the finer aspects of using e.g., a 1-point rifle sling versus a 2 or even 3 point sling. They focus on marksmanship aspects like different skills for e.g., transitioning a rifle from target to target, or advanced recoil management. I prefer to train students and focus on the combative aspect of firearm techniques. Yes, you need solid fundamental marksmanship skills, and you develop those when training anyway. What many students (and instructors) lack, is a better understanding of actual fighting techniques with firearms, in this case semi auto rifles.

Semi auto rifles that shoot rifle caliber rounds are designated as "carbines", in shooting circles it seems that rifles that shoot pistol rounds can also be referred to as pistol caliber carbine or PDW.

Autorenporträt

From a young age I participated in combat training as it is necessary for a man later in life. It helps your self-esteem and feeling of safety when you can protect yourself.

For this reason, I was told it would be good to learn karate. This I started doing in 1979 and continued for about 17 years, reaching black belt 2nd Dan in 1991. During this period, I participated in several karate competitions, winning gold, and several bronze medals in competition. From 1985-1986 I did my national service in the South African Defence Force (SADF), doing border duty for 9 months in the combat area (red zone/war zone). This is where as a 20-year-old I saw my first contact (real life shooting) as a group of ANC/ SWAPO terrorists attacked our perimeter base.

From about 1987 till the early 90's I worked doing door duty at clubs, sometimes on my own and sometimes in a team. During this period in our country, you very seldom found men suing each other or presenting the case to the police, as they normally took their punishment like a man, and that was where I had most of my street experience situations up until about 40 years of age. Personally, and in the capacity of a soldier, Close Protection Specialist (which has the extensive use of pistols) I have used pistols extensively.
