    They could of probably yelled something like "two friendlies coming out" as they exited the room(s).

    One other thing to add, IMO this is where Siminutions would and do shine. You get most of the benefits of live fire with less risk of popping your teammate and causing permanent injury. Although, they may not look as cool when you are doing a youtube video.

    Those simuntion companies usually only supply legitimate training companies that ammo though.

    If you're riding around in a lawn maintenance trailer??? NO.

    Wow! Seriously, cameraman? Was he making it a point to stand in unsafe areas during that whole video or what?

    Most of the stuff has already been said.

    #1: Muzzling each other in the stack
    #2: Muzzling the cameraman
    #3: the cameraman being retarded
    #4: dumbest "clear" commands I have heard recently
    #5: why is that one guy unloading a rifle at 3 feet into a cardboard target?

    Who is the "knowledge" base that is teaching these guys?

    Also the muzzle up in a stack is actually not uncommon, except you index off your body, like your jaw, ear (or earpro) or glasses. Rather have that the standard position SUL.

    To their credit, they were moving slowly and deliberately. That does provide some level of safety.

    I found it interesting that they developed a "cat walk" by digging their "shoot house" into the ground. The camera angles did not show a full view of the range but it appeared that they had at least 120 degrees of traverse.

    No one in the video seemed to demonstrate significant skills as a trainer or as a serious student.

    I would like to find more positive points.
