wow. i have been loading one at a time thru the ejection port. will definitely try this new method

Thanks a lot men, i used to load each round manually from the start of the barrel

For everyone with the 28 round question. I had heard about this but always loaded my Gen3 pmags with 30 until taking Larry's carbine class in North Carolina last week. Larry joked with us that within the first 15 minutes of class someone's mag would fall out from not being fully seated. We cleared the guns out before lunch and when we got back, sure enough, 5-10 minutes into the afternoon portion someone's mag fell out. I'll be loading 28 rounds from now on. Go ahead and try seating a mag with 30 versus 28 on a closed bolt and you can really feel the difference.

Oh thats where the magazine goes!

Instructions unclear, accidentally crossed the border and am now lost in Mexico

i came here for a short and to the point video. got exactly what i wanted.

I've also found that 28 seems to be the magic number with most AR mags to have the most capacity but least resistance on mag insertion, especially on a closed bolt. Nice video.

Vickers Tactical thank you for your awesome videos. very professional man indeed. greetings from Jordan

That's what happened to me several times in a carbine class I took!! So just push and pull to make sure it's really in got it gonna practice this👍👍👍👍👍

I always load my mags to 5.... always, that is cause I live in Canada :-(

that was a lot less complicated than I originally believed! thanks

Can't wait for the next video where he shows how to use the trigger.

Thanks Larry Vickers!

Awesome video!

Bcm extended charging handle is a must have on any m4

I thought you had to slap the bolt release with your palm to be ready to fire. I’m confused 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hey Mr. Vickers, You better try the UDMC PVAR and the FerFrans SOAR too! I bet that you're gonna love to try those guns.

I'll make sure to show my class in school

As a girl who doesn’t really know much, and this being possibly an emergency - thank you. I’ll know if the intruder comes near the footstep of my house - load my gun, turn off the safety, point and shoot.

Yo thanks man the tutorial worked :D

Badass editing!

I always thought insert, tap, then slap was the way to do a reload. best example would be from the movie heat where it actually became the LAPD SWAT training video for mag changes

Is the pulling after the magazine has been put in to test if it's fully locked into the gun?

Thanks for the info.

Much appreciated for that instruction. believe it or not, it is so severely easy for many people " in the moment" to screw that simple procedure up at any given time

How about combat reload without else springing and then continue shooting?

I find with my 15 round hex mags that they have probs going all the way in with 15 rounds loaded I have to lock the bolt back first or only load 14 if I do 15 it binds up the spring an don't feed an if I take it out all the rounds just fall out the mag

Best video ever!!!!

How come you dont use flip up sights? Does it interfere or co witness with the red dot sight?

Hey guys, I am completely unfamiliar with the AR-15 platform and I have some question: On some AR-15s I have seen that you have to pull the charging handle back to fire after reloading and on others, they should release the bolt by pressing a button. Could someone explain me that?

I would like Larry to post a video on his take on the application of light. Everyone has their own way of doing it and I think his perspective would be valuable.

Damn that's a sexy rifle!

Quick question: about the stance, it won't affect me even if i have a weak body right? I'm kinda skinny so when i saw your huge body getting shookt by the impact of the gun, i just can't help but be worried

I just got my first diamondback ar15 and when I put the magazine in, the charging handle won’t push a round out of the mag and into the barrel causing a double feed. Is this bc I’m not pushing the mag in far enough

I'm surprised how good this gun is for under $100. It has a descent weight to it unlike a toy, the quality looks and feels great, simple to attach the scope which is very clear and easy to sight. First shot out of the box before sighting was relatively accurate at 25 yards. It only took 6 shots to zero in the scope. I would definitely recommend purchasing this air rifle.

Vickers tactical can you review the mexican assault rifle fx 05?

Larry larry larry i should of asked you this when i meet you at the baton rouge airport, but my mind went blank. Can you show how you work a standard safety shooting left handed

I've seen some times with AR15 platforms where it is an empty gun being loaded. After inserting a full magazine, the charging handle is not pulled back, instead the user slaps something on the left side of the rifle. would that chamber a round?

I was born in 1782 and been frozen for 220 years and I was trying to load the gun with powder and a ball down the barrel and wondering why it wasn't working. thanks

what muzzle device is on your carbine in this video?

By the way how do u use a quick draw magazine?

Does anyone know what light and light mount that is

have you ever heard of the Chilean Sub-Machinegun Famae Saf?

Can you do an Inside the FN Scar-H?

I dont personally own an AR style rifle, though Id love too, but is there a reason to load 28 other than maintaining the spring life of the magazine?

Just LOVE all the comments like "why didn't you just press the bolt release?" and "why do you prefer the charging handle over the bolt release?" SRSLY people WATCH the video, PAY ATTENTION to the video, THEN comment!! He used the charging handle because he was admin loading his rifle and the bolt was forward in battery to begin with. Nothing to do with preference, but necessity.

In the Australian military we use to (or still do) load the F88 with 25 rounds instead of 30

When to slap the bolt release?

This is the coolest slofukinmode I have ever seen, daumn

What light set up is on the front?

How close were you shooting that steel?

What's the preference for loading the magazine to only 28 rounds instead of 30?

Wow, now I know.

Why do you load 28 rounds in your mags vs 30? THanks.

Great video! I'm still waiting for the upcoming video about which way to point your gun. Maybe you can demonstrate the incorrect way in the upcoming video.

Is that a custom bcm lower?

Why not just use the bolt release?

Is there any difference in the pronunciation of Car"BINE" or Car"BEEN" or is it just down language differences

I've had that happen during a class

Nothing can stop me I'm ... 1:03

please test MPT 76

That iron sight change tho

Can someone explain to me the cod4 M4 empty mag reload animation please? The charging handle is not used there

Are you closing the dust cover after you rack it? Racking it opens the Cover? So why is the cover opening when you shoot instead? You must be unnecessarily closing the dust cover when you rack it…

Can you do an AK one?

Why my brain still say press R 🙃

nice ar15 man.

remember switching to your pistol is faster then reloading

If you only load 28rds into a 30rd magazine, might I suggest the DD-32 Magazine?

Larry, why would you opt for running the charging handle post fresh magazine insertion in lieu of pressing the bolt catch/release paddle? Using the charging handle introduces the possibility of short stroking it and creating issues. When you instead utilize the bolt catch release, it comes preloaded with just about all the force that buffer spring can provide but without the chance of a short stroke. Plus the bolt release method is faster back up on target then running the charging handle (in my experience and many others I've observed). Plus plus it prevents you from exposing an Achilles heel of that weapon platform. You jack up a charging handle (albeit a rare occurrence) that rifle is done. From a probability standpoint, the less frequently it is exposed outside of the upper reciever, the better. I know you know this stuff, I'm just personally curious as I dissuade my students from running the charging handle on reloads.

good sir do the same thing the AK.

Hey Vickers, I've heard why people load their mags with 28. But I need to ask, did you start doing that when you were a navy seal or after you left?

how does man press trigger

Hey LV why 28?

no tap?

I LOVE MY AR 😊

I load mine with 10.

its carbIne (like mine) ,remember magic magic e, ya rocket!

i understand why you would prefer using the charging handle because of gross motor skills and OODA loops but in the case of the ar 15 design shouldnt it be an acception to use the bolt release because its been battle proven that slapping the bolt release under battle stressors is just as effective and gives you that extra few seconds

Is there any particular reason to load 28 rounds or is it just preference?

I know how just prees x

Whats your reason for only loading 28? Spring wear?

But how do I unload it?

Or you can hit the Bolt Release since the bolt was already back

I feel like if you don't know this you shouldn't be shooting one alone.

Why's 28?

That gun looks like it has zero recoil, is it because low weight??

You sound just like Mic from carry trainer 😂

What's the best / most reliable gas-piston AR15 on the market? Let's see if someone replies :)

Is this a birds n' the bees kinda conversation?? Put it in, push, pull, BANG... yeah... it's about that quick. The next 18 years, thats the hard part... Got any advise on that Larry???

what light is that?

0:45

Oh no KZfaq he reloaded a magazine!!!! LOL

You forgot the gun powder flask.

Press spuare

ههههه صار السلاح الحديث كله بلاستك

Cool video, but AR-15s with detachable magazines are banned in my state as of 1/1/17 has highly dangerous assault weapons.

Why do they suggest using the charging handle instead of the bolt release?

people practice these combat reload methods in matches and on ranges and get kicked off all the time. Sad. But true.

pushing the bolt release lever seems faster to me. but who the hell am i?
