    I have a hard time seeing this as anything other than constructing an alibi for when she ends up “accidently” being shot in the back of the head at close range.

    This is actually an off-shoot of traditional Israeli krav maga. You always want to make sure your weak friends are in the front, and you want to have the trigger ready to shoot and blame it on someone else.

    This is in Brazil. This shooting range is essentially a private club which is very much a tacticool/MMA/No Touch TKO/Warrior style place. https://www.instagram.com/gunfightoficial/

    The primary red flag in these kinds of things is always what caliber gun they’ll hand someone who’s never shot before. If it’s anything other than a 22LR it’s often a bad sign. The Glock she’s holding is at least a 9mm and she’s clearly scared of it.

    I’m not certified or anything but every time I’ve taught someone to shoot I’ve started them on a 22LR rifle. The first 40 minutes is literally going over how to use it multiple times. The last 20 is pumping out a couple of mags. If they like it then you move up to higher calibers. Often the worst is when you’re teaching someone new/skittish in an indoor and someone’s playing around with their “9mm doesn’t have stopping power” compensator in the next stall.

    Basic safety courses (the kind that states mandate as a bottom of the barrel minimum e.g. NRA basic) are taught on 22LR because it’s a safer way to learn.

    Also Weaver foot stance + Isosceles grip + open toe platform shoes + trigger squeeze is why she’s swaying from recoil. Her center of gravity is fucked is so fucked. Looking through their insta they teach some incredibly bad shooting posture consistently. Very “we trained them wrong as a joke” vibes. This place blows so much.

    This is what they use in their intro course. Fucking lol

        TBH any time you see a “gun guy” video and the main character is a femme woman it’s 9 times out of 10 going to be a dangerous setup and misogynistic.

        The classic “we’re gonna let the hot girl shoot the Desert Eagle as her first gun so she breaks her nose” comes to mind.
