I could barely get past the first few seconds of the first video. As soon as I figured out what he intended, I cringed. This guy has no business teaching.
My Spanish is a bit rusty, but I’m pretty sure at the end of the last video (the one where he fires full auto from the hip at 2 targets, with his assistant standing between them) he says “And he was never in danger. Never in danger.”
I would absolutely hire this gentleman, because he has tactical skills that could save lives. In the urban environment, such as in the tactical retail theater, innocent bystanders are always present. If you can’t trust your partner to dispatch Colombian terrorists and skateboarding gang bangers without splashing you in a crossfire all over the Orange Julius, you are unable to perform to the operator level needed in high speed, low drag environment. My tactical other is already at a sufficient operator level to cover my back, any day, but if she did need further training, I would consider a course that included real-world, big boy shooting of the sort this fine American demonstrates.
Are you F’ing kidding me? What person would put themselves or others purposely in this type of situation? Practice w/ paper, not people!
BTW Gecko – I equivilate the meme “big boy rules” with the red neck saying “Hey, hold my beer and watch this”, The last reported words of many a moron.
While he does break the rules of firearm safety we have all been taught, he does nothing different than many of the trick shot artists have done for at least 150 years.
Annie Oakley shot cigarettes out of peoples mouths, as did many others.
He is simply doing the tactical, modern day equivalent.
Whether he can teach that skill and ability is at question.

Phenicks,
Gecko_45 is a highly trained retail security operator on the elite Food Court Team 6 at the Mall of America.
You and I are obviously not at that level of tactical ability, which includes firing 400 rounds a night from our duty sidearms.
