A quick introduction to the use of this weapon combination, shot very quickly at Fight Camp 2018. Sorry about the background noise.

This was shot at the end of the last day, and I was a bit hoarse from shouting, camping, and beer. When the aircraft overhead gets very loud, I have added subtitles.

The targes we are using are the correct diameter, but the real things were a fair bit heavier, and offered some protection against even musketballs.
