I've used the "chicken wing" method when I was practicing in gun ranges in ROK. I've noticed that it makes recoils more controllable and is better for people with less upper body strength.

It's so weird to see Russian soldiers using Eotechs... I mean they're great optics but I would think Russia wouldn't use USA made optics, I figured they would have their own

Don't take my word for it, but i believe it's done because when you teach someone new who never shot a gun, to raise elbow up, is so that his buttstock doesn't fly off sideways/slip his shoulder to the side. I remember some "fail compilation" videos, people shouldering a rifle and the gun slips their shoulder. So i gues it's purpose is so that buttstock doesn't slip your sholder to the side. It's especially present in larger calliber rifles, shotguns etc.

Raised elbow has role,when patsir and gas mask ,ammo ect you cant always line up elbow,but uf you always raise elbow...

i like you interesting

There in Pakistan thank you mother Russia

Họ phát minh ra AK, và họ biết làm cách nào để sử dụng nó.

Some of the mentioned problems were fixed in later iterations: they get rid of 2-round burst, changed plastic of handguard, changed fire selector (you showed it)

When reloading a rifle with your right hand, you don't waste any more time than if you were reloading with your left hand. The absolute majority of soldiers in Russia are right-handed. You reload the rifle with your main hand, which makes it easier for you to carry out all manipulations. Moreover, in combat conditions, the recharge rate does not matter.

Standing sideways in the direction of the enemy reduces your silhouette. This is how soldiers were taught to shoot standing up when body armor was not yet used in the army. Try to turn sideways in the direction of the enemy and rest the butt of the rifle on your shoulder. You're not going to make it. To rest the butt of the rifle against the shoulder, you need to raise your elbow.

In Nam they would fill 7.62 rounds with handgun powder then toss them out of the choppers over the jungles. If found and fired in an SKS or AK they would produce very high chamber pressures, rendering the rifles unusable and possible hurting or killing the user.

We also cant forget the fact that when your training tons of people, a simple easy dumb downed firing position is an amazing base to build more skills off of

The chicken wing posture has been used by most countries in the last century

7:07 what weapon is that?! Mosin bolt but it doesn’t look like a Mosin rifle?

What is wrong with the audio? Another AI narration app?

From this video, I have the feeling that the average Russian soldier has worse training than a civilian from Europe or the US, who regularly goes to the shooting range to train with an instructor. On average, I spend about $250 a month on training, pistols, and ARs. So I make about 500 rounds a month. How many shots does a Russian soldier have?

Ai voice ruins it for me very annoying

Reloading with the right hand is more practical for conscripts handling the Kalashnikov. Most soldiers are likely to be right-handed so they're less likely to fumble and drop the magazines with their strong hand, and the position of the mag release lever also favours gross motor movements with the strong hand. Last but not least, it puts the right hand directly under the cocking handle once it has finished rocking the mag into the well, unlike a left-handed reload where the arm would have to reach around under or over the receiver and pull from an ergonomically less convenient angle. A fast reload is rather overrated in most infantry encounters outside close-quarters urban or trench combat anyway -- just yell "reloading," let the rest of the team cover you, and duck under cover to take your time to reload without messing things up. Not all countries have the funds or resources to train their infantry to the same extent the US or Western European countries do (something like two years before the infantryman is considered fully competent for a combat deployment, by which time most conscripts elsewhere would already be discharged from service).

The Chicken Wing goes way back when there were bigger calibers with heavy recoils + the sighting position, if not held in the raised position the recoil could knock your should joint out of place. In sighting you basicly sight down the barrel, if the shoulder is droped the head has to drop as well. The raised sights that came out with the M16 help to help to eliminate the problem. The 50cal machinegunners had shoulder problems because they couldn´t get the stock into the shoulder pocket.

Making a shoulder pocket was taught as doctrine. It was canceled because better sighting systems require you to bear down upon the weapon.

As a kid, I thought they were so cool in the video game Metal Gear Solid 2. Turns out, not so cool in real life.

Don't get me wrong, i still gave a thumbs up on this video.

I have a "juggernaught" style plate carrier. I think I might get rediculous by using steel plates on the inside of the plate pouches, but also making small, specifically shaped plate carriers of my own to sort of hang on the outside of the plate carrier from the laser cuts. If i can get the right materials I might even expand the carrier itself to be a full suit. I think that would be pretty sick, and useful for defensive or vehicle based situations where a vehicle of some kind is being more heavily utilized.

old soviet manual of arms

The Reload is pretty pratical and people overrated the idea of "finger on the fire control at all times" to start no you are not sundenly slower because you reload right handed, specially when you consider that its better to charge the AK with your right hand not your left hand. but you can be faster with "slower method" if you have pratice with it.

AWESOME VIDEO

Why delete my comment. It ws a Skyrim joke. It wasn't dirty or mean or violent or anything like that.? Sorry but I unsubscribe because My comments are deleted.

The chickenwing was popular in the 70s and80s in europe and america too sas did it

That's just a gimmick, sonny.

2:50 Whaddaya mean "overly powerful"??? If you have to engage in combat, you WANT to have something that goes through military grade body armor and essentially no SMG or other PDW does. WTF?? What are they supposed to do? Use something that's *barely* good enough against body armor? What would that even be??? This doesn't make sense and since Artillery crews and tankers are not supposed to primarily go up against other individual combatants in Firefights anyways, the shorter range seems perfectly fine??? Actually seems just right for CQB. ...And the weight can't possibly be THAT much higher than what a PPSH had?? (Which would suffer from basically all the same issues.) So what's the point here??? 4:00 Fair enough, but that gun is NOT supposed to be used for infantry anyways! It's designed, for only Personal defense and that's what it does. Most complaints just sound like whining tbh and the only legitimate issue so far, is the overheating. ...Which is an issue with all full-auto guns essentially, when you do mag dumps in quick succession.

We were taught this in the early 2000s in the Marines as well. Its just the older doctrine.

Police units are at risk of being hit by low caliber pistol rounds at close range. So therefore they choose soft body armor that covers most of their body. Operators are more at risk of rifle wounds, and require high speed in CQC, hence smaller rifle rated armor, regular soilders are far more at risk of shrapnel wounds, and rifle rounds. Therefore they use plate armor on the torso, back, and sides, and light shrapnel protection wherever they can get it.

The raised elbow is a traditional precision shooting stance. With older, more powerful rifles that recoil harder, it forms a bigger, more solid shoulder 'pocket' for the rifle stock when aiming. Using the right hand to change magazines and operate the charging handle is an artifact from the days of bolt action rifles, where the bolt handle was on the right, convenient to the shooting hand. The left-hand loading and charging (and lowered elbow) became practical with lighter, less powerful assault rifles.

The chicken wing is a holdover from rifle stocked doctrine vs pistol grips, its still taught with rifles like the m14. The magazine hold is because its comfortable.

Ha

sweet. glad I got to learn this

the curve on the mag is comfortable for long run because c-clamping long time can be exhausting, but for the chicken wing was exist on the soviet manual

Because that’s what the manual of arms told them to do when it came out.

I really like yor videos but the comment section is an atrocious collection of openly displayed ignorance on all accounts.

Oman bought it

just based on the title, the honest, simple answer is bc SF doesn't care nor needs to adhere by regular army regulation so they do what they want. With like pretty much everything not just armor and uniform lol.

The US Army (and Marines) call such thing "field expedients". In other words, the stuff you do to just get things done, even thought you weren't issued equipment or trained in a procedure to handle whatever it is.

thumbnail looks like Nod and GDI getting along fine

Bro the term operator comes from delta force it’s littersly in their occupational designator because they OPERATE in different postions and jobs and do different stuff but now everyone thinks high cut helmet with plate carrier and HK416 is operator or that swat dudes or other guys are operators naw man that’s not what it is it’s not just being a super stud CQB god that’s just not to me when I think operator I see a dude integrated with a indigenous team using a PKM he prolly got from Libya …y’all are lame

Armor strategies will change with mission.

Cause they try to copy the west. But fail.
