Worst Shooting Video: Episode 12

About this video

McPhee analyzes a combat scene from the John Wick film featuring actor Halle Berry, critiquing the tactical approach, weapon handling, hand-to-hand techniques, and decision-making of the character. He compares the fictional combat to his own operational experience and emphasizes more efficient tactical principles for engaging multiple adversaries.

Key takeaways

• McPhee argues that using cover effectively and engaging targets methodically one-at-one is more efficient than rushing into close quarters combat that wastes energy and ammunition
• McPhee criticizes several weapon handling and martial arts techniques shown in the scene, including poor alignment, ineffective positioning relative to cover, and tactical errors in target engagement
• McPhee teaches that trained dogs used in operations need training to disengage from a neutralized threat and move to the next target, as continuing to attack a dead adversary provides no tactical benefit
