Advanced Weapons Training is one of the best books on tactical weapons training and is up-dated with each new printing. The other STTU titles available from Amazon further expand on this subject. We highly recommend CQB, RAIDS and SNIPER 2. They are all excellent.

This book show how you can do your own target ranges and tactical training with your pistol,shotgun and SMG:s. It also show selection of handgun, shotgun and SMG:s. This is a good book and give you some idea's on how you can train. Recommended.
I also recommend "Raids".

Mark Longsdale writes from a treasure chest of experience in the field of special operations and protection services. His clear concise statements ring true of field tested experience. I recommend all of Mr. Longsdales books.

The comments from DAVE of Mobile Alabama do not relate to this book. The book is not about anyone getting fired. It is about advanced hostage rescue training. He is obviously refering to another book or out to lunch.

I practice airsoft and I bought this book to learn how to play better. I found it very complete, and I think the best part of this book is the one that speaks about traing methods. It could describe more tactics and tecnics. A good book indeed.

This book is a good introduction to basic CQB and hostage rescue work. It will not teach you how to much of anything, as that may only be learned through hundreds of hours and thousands of rounds of real world practice. Like all these books, take it with a grain of salt, and don't try to go solve the barricaded hostage taker situation at the local bank branch with the information within.

Packed full of useful information for both professionals and interested readers

Every operator I mean the eighties generation, will realise that this book is a window to the past, where we started many years ago, how we built our own ranges, the tire house, close quarter rooms where we spent thousands of pistol and sub rounds,where we hesitated before shooting a target next to our closest buddy playing hostage, where our snipers rounds buzzed while we rappelled through windows, and the cool beers at the end of each tiring day after day hard work, a reference to keep in your library for new and experienced operators.
