4 Ways to Use an AR15 Charging Handle

There are a bunch of ways to use the AR15 Charging handle, but here are the most common. If your charging handle is fully ambi, these can be done with either hand, otherwise you always need at least one finger on the left side of the handle.
Charging handle shown is a VLTOR/BCM Mod 4 (old style) which is the medium latch size, but still pretty large. It is the one I use on that upper to help me clear the scope. You can see that even then I had to remove the scope to demonstrate the blade method, and without a glove I wasn't going to do it aggressively. I ripped a hole in my skin a few weeks ago demonstrating that.
I generally use a single hook, but I also straight up don't use it a lot in general. If you're using your charging handle a lot you're either experiencing malfunctions or doing something silly. They're not AK's, they should be locking back on an empty mag. Feel free to flame me for that, and feel free to keep doing whatever you're doing. lol
