 Must Have Training Book August 23, 2008

6 out of 11 found this review helpful
Outstanding book from someone who has been there/ done that and knows what does and does not work. If you use an AR15/M4 for work in LE/Military, this is a must have book. If you are an internet gear queer that must have all the add on accessories to your M4 clone and only take it out to clear your house in your underwear, then this book might not be for you.
GUN FIGHTING 101 - THE BASICS IN YOUR FACE July 30, 2008

This book is a treasure trove of lessons learned through training and combat from a professional career warrior. This book coves the basics giving the reader the why and how to every tactic, technique and procedure. One of the things that make Special Operations Forces so good at what they do is that they have mastered the "basics" in all they do. This philosophy carries over into this work and rightly so! Yes there is more then the "basics" in this book, but this forms a solid foundation to build on and this book does just that. It pounds the fundamentals into you and gives you the philosophy and methods to masters these skills. If you operate an AR15/M4 series weapon system as soldier, cop or prepared citizen then this is the book for you. I also highly recommend Tiger McKee's "The Book of Two Guns" and Jeff Gonzales's book "Combative Fundamentals."
Priceless piece of work July 14, 2008

It's important to realize that Kyle's book is a tribute to the operators that first nurtured him in his early years, several of who very sadly lost their lives in Mogadishu. Kyle lived the book's content for over 20 years. He developed many of the techniques on his own and refined many others, and not necessarily from simple flat range static shooting or competition matches but rather while the distinctive crack of the enemies' round s passed by his head - when needed feedback was immediate. And, as Frogman said in his review, Kyle incorporated the knowledge and experience of his fellow operators learned throughout those two decades and practiced successfully in some of the most inhospitable places on earth. Even so, in a world class organization that prioritizes accurate rifle and pistol shooting above all else - and like no one else - Kyle truly has few peers. Even those of us who have had the honor of Kyle's presence and experiencing his warrior psyche first hand reference this book constantly, as do the very busy current operators that still go to work in the war on terror daily. If you carry a carbine at work or play, you need to have this book in your carry-on luggage. Hopefully, Kyle will follow this blockbuster with a sequel on the combat pistol.
A really good book for the experienced AR/M4 user May 21, 2008

Very good reading for the experienced shooter. Cover every aspect of the use of the rifle (or carbine, shotgun, submachinegun) but although for advanced level, a beginner can take good use of the book.

Green Eyes and Black Rifles Warriors Guide to the Combat Carbine
By Kyle E. Lamb
The title of the book, Green Eyes and Black Rifles Warriors Guide to the Combat Carbine give s a great indication what this book is about. I was deployed in Iraq and armed with a 9mm pistol and was intrigued by soldiers carrying the M-4 carbine. I had the chance to fire a few times. I was impressed with all the new electronic sighting equipment on it and attachments. . I did not know what an ACOG (advanced combat optical gun sight), was or why it had the handle attached from the barrel. When I fired the M-4 it was easy putting steel on target. The M-4 is a lot easier to accurately shoot than the M-16A1. Today, M-4 has as much in common with the M-16 as the Humvee used in Desert Storm compared to today's armored Humvee used in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Reading the book, I realize I know next to nothing about tactical shooting, or maintaining the M-4 weapon system properly. The book is only 214 pages in length but it well written worth reading. This book was born in combat to help soldiers survive in combat.
SGM Kyle Lamb really hits his mark when he shows the different scenarios and positions a soldier might have to take to engage the enemy. I did not realize how important a magazine for your weapon system and how to check for wear and serviceability. Lamb writes one of the biggest causes of jams is the magazine. He numbers and letters his magazines and checks them every time he fires. Lamb also reminds the reader that your life can depend on doing this
Lamb's book is very easy to read and understand. You will truly appreciate your M-4 carbine as a weapon system and fully learn how to use all the accessories that go with it. The reader will learn more about this weapon system than any army field manual. I highly recommend Green Eyes and Black Rifles Warriors Guide to the Combat Carbine by SGM Kyle E. Lamb
I have one regret I wished I was issued an M-4 carbine while in Iraq.
