    You mentioned running rabbit. It’s probably different but when I went through the JTF6 CQB course in 1996ish running the rabbit was sending one operator running across a wide hallway or room to see if he drew fire. No one wanted to be the rabbit.
    So my kicker is Taking fire through a doorway. You are at that doorway (relatively speaking) your position is largely known (excluding the use of wifi cameras).

    A guy inside that structure could be all over the place giving you little if any indication of his firing position.

    In the domestic sense, that's a hard target to supress and maintain any degree of accountability on rounds fired.

    It's probably more an attempt to establish merit, given that your argument really doeent have nothing else to stand on.
    I'm not trying to establish credit. To me, there is not much need in doing so.

    I'm not trying to be a cunt so, if it comes off like that. It's not my intent
    Sure man I can totally relate to hard thinking on layovers. You're not coming off as cunty at all.

    We've had disagreements, "spirited discussions" and one memorable shouting match about pretty much any topic you can imagine. Interior movement, ECQ shooting, knife work, fighting in cars. I meant LITERALLY everything. For the most part my content is well received but some guys simply don't agree. In only one case did it get kind of personal when a former commando got tooled up by another in an evolution and the guy screamed at me that we had no business doing this anyway because he'd be shooting people and not rolling around on the floor.

    I'm still not sure what the point of this thread is. I've always said what @Dan Lehr said: "A way, not the way." When you do this stuff for real, in a team environment, you learn pretty quick there's not one solution for every problem and you need a lot of different tools in your toolbox.
    Some thoughts re: ALERRT

    1) keep in mind what ALERRT is and who the intended audience is. It’s not a SWAT school, it’s not DARC and you are not really the target audience.

    2) ALERRT is specific to active shooter response which normally occurs in public or commercial buildings rather than residences.

    3) As mentioned, the instructors make a difference. The ALERRT “mothership” is local to me so like UNM most of my exposure has been via their paid instructor cadre vs “sum doode” from an agency with a 4 day instructor cert. who only teaches 1 or 2 times a year.

    It does make my point because a guy, shot through a wall, delivering lethal effects on a target.
    Cameras definitely change the game.

    FL is not the only example. The Las Vegas gunman set up a camera on a room service cart outside his room.

    The point was people shoot at what they can see - using enablers like cameras, NODS etc. to see doesn’t change that.

    Absolutely. You asked for effects of if they did it not whether it could be justified. Our policy allowed suppression fire but it was pretty restrictive as far as where that would be directed. Mostly hard targets on the structure like brickwork or the foundation. Legal didn’t like the term suppression fire and it our range staff came up with a different term right before I retired and I forget what is called now.

    As discussed here in the thread on the FL FBI shooting it was not a SWAT or purely tactical operation. They had a search warrant but not an arrest warrant and there were legal and investigate reasons why they did what they did vs optimal tactics.

    If we could identify external surveillance equipment on a structure it was generally taken out before the approach to the door. Beanbags or SAGE rounds work well on cameras.

    Usually “directed fire.” Return fire is “directed” at the source of the fire rather than just suppressing an entire building of area.

    Yes it was very similar to that.
