Defib machine...nice
I laugh when I see people do "scan ballet".
I don't laugh at the concept of search and assess. Nor do I laugh at people who actively search and assess post-drill. But about 95% of people I see shoot, wave their head or pirouette mechanically, and reholster. That's not training to search and assess.
My preference is to go to high ready, gun below the base of the target, check my hits, check the targets around me for their hits so I'm in the habit of actively engaging my brain on assessment tasks, then ask myself a couple of questions about the shoot I've just finished. Were the hits where I wanted them to be? What was my round count? Did I draw well? How did I react to the timer/command/whistle etc? Is it time to reholster? If so, then I reholster.
The big thing isn't to get in the habit of doing a dance after you shoot. It's to get in the habit of shifting gears off the technical skill of shooting, and onto the cognitive skill of situation analysis.
It was satirical stereotype. How does one "have a problem with" fat people exactly?
Did I ism?
It's like at motorcycle school. They drill head checks into you all course. You do 100 of them on each exit test. You continue to do them on the road after you graduate but you do them less and less. Skill fade. scan ballet.
You fail to do one and it happens to get you hit eventually.
Same thing as shooting.
The difference here is, if you have never been trained then your ignorant of the usefulness.
I needed some comic relief so I looked up youtube for 'search and assess'
I think this one is my favourite.. check out how SERIOUS life just got for him when he was looking at the berm then at the camera then at the berm and back again!
mouth agape and everything.

mouth agape and everything.There is a difference between "scan & assess" in the shooting sports and training for actual combat. If I was shooting for 'real' and not playing a game, dambetcha I'd be doing the "scan ballet". Whatever it takes to prevail and survive.
In IPSC, you often see shooters doing a "scan & assess' during a course of fire and firing extra rds as required due to misses or no-shoot hits. Over confident shooters often miss the opportunity at their peril.
At the end of the COF, the command is - "IF you have finished shooting, unload and show clear." I have frequently watched shooters "scan & assess" at the end of a COF and fire another rd or two when it is safe to do so.

There is no way that guy is only a 21st century gunfighter. That's some serious Buck Rogers business. Which was like 25th century?

Sorry, I prefer to knock.
I don't, unless you are one of those who have a problem with the fact that firearms are weapons, and are all perfectly legitimate for you to have.
The antis, on the other hand, have an entirely different take on it.
They consider some firearms/weapons to be too dangerous for you to have. And when you check a little more closely you find that "some" is actually ALL.
The intent of the law is to disarm you!
The prohibited category contains full autos, rifles, shotguns, and handguns. Among those handguns - single shot .22 rimfires.
Yes, the intent of the law is to disarm you! And pretending that your "firearms" are simply toys won't prevent you from eventually hearing "FIREARMS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR YOU TO HAVE TO PROTECT THE LIVES OF THOSE YOU LOVE - THEY ARE CERTAINLY NOT SUITABLE TO PLAY WITH!"
The government works for me, not the other way around. I don't care what over paid lazy bureaucrats "think" or put to paper. If laws were effective we would't need law enforcement officers or have victims assistance. Firearms are tools for a job and that's how I see them. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy them recreationally as well.

This is guy is a clown as well. He comes off as a "21st century gunfighter" yet he runs what looks to be classic open division IPSC gear. Gunfighting and competition gear do not go together. Not to mention the large bumpers on his mags, the flared mag well and the ignorant "dry fire" while not looking at where the pistol was pointed. What's the rush to unload? Firearms are useless without ammunition in them, and he champions being a "gunfighter". The guy is a clown, like the one below.
Gun Kata is absolutely hilarious sh*t to watch!
