Video: Weapon Malfunction Training from Pat McNamara

I stumbled across this video by accident while meandering through the halls of YouTube and thought that everyone would benefit from it. This is a 20 minute video from Pat McNamara. He spent 22 years in Special Operations and now has his own training company alongside a few books, like Sentinel and T.A.P.S.

In this video, he is demonstrating the various malfunctions of the AR platform and how to clear them with members of the 10th Mountain Division.

Speaking of training, how is yours going?

Best malfunction demonstration/explanation I have ever seen. And maintenance/inspection too.

I watched this video a while back and wondered “Why didn’t my units ever have a Pat Mac come around and provide instruction?” Anyway, something I think former soldiers should keep in mind is using “slap-rack” instead of what many of us learned, which is “SPORTS”. Slap-rack is faster and easier to remember and incorporate into muscle memory.

  We did. I trained with Jerry Barnhart and Tiger Swan. It really just depends on where you’re assigned.
