Why S.P.O.R.T.S. Could Break Your Rifle and Leave You Dead in a Gunfight!!!!

🔫 AR-15 Malfunction Clearing: Why SPORTS Might Be Hurting Your Rifle | Full Breakdown & Live Demo
Hey everybody, welcome back and thanks for watching!
In this video, we’re diving deep into the SPORTS acronym – a common malfunction clearing technique taught for the AR-15 platform. You’ve probably heard "Slap, Pull, Observe, Release, Tap, Shoot" before, but is it really the best method when your rifle fails? Or could it actually make things worse?
After running several rifle training sessions, I’ve noticed some shooters fully trust SPORTS, while others misuse or misunderstand it entirely. I personally believe SPORTS is more of a "one-size-fits-most" solution that can lead to catastrophic failures if used incorrectly — especially during high-stress situations like a firefight.
🎯 What We Cover in This Video:
What SPORTS stands for and when it actually works
Common AR-15 malfunctions: Failure to feed, stove pipe, double feed, bolt override

🔥 Whether you're military, law enforcement, or a civilian shooter, understanding how to properly identify and clear malfunctions could be the difference between staying in the fight or being taken out of it.
👀 Don’t just memorize an acronym—understand the WHY behind your weapon manipulations.
