The original DFP being used as my primary once again. This thing has stood the test of time. It’s been used overseas, loaned to students, and my number two for about 5-6 years now. No batteries- just a black EOtech type reticle on one power and MIL hashes in four power. The gun as pictured has 100 % hits out to 400 yds on B/C steel using Black Hills 77 gr.

M21 type setup shooting match grade 175gr made hits at 600 on B/C steel with heavy wind regularly. I’ve said it for years…..if you want a mag fed 7.62 that won’t break the bank this is your boom stick.

9" BCM 300 blackout with original USO 1-4 DFP and first batch Bobro mount. What an absolutely great carbine. Solid to 400 yds on b/c steel and quick as a red dot at 7 yds with no battery to worry about. This has been my deer rifle for the last two seasons (a dozenish) and my traveling gun for civ carbine classes lately. I’m using 125gr. Super from Gemtech for ammo.

This is absolutely overtraining

HOW LONG CAN you tread water? The fact that world-class water polo players are basically prepared to keep themselves afloat for indefinite amounts of time highlights their dedication to fitness, as well as pointing out the difficulty of their sport right off the bat.

But aside from water polo being a sport in which the players never get to rest while they’re in the game, there are other aspects of the sport that make it so challenging. You have to be able to stay far above the water’s surface to make plays on offense and defense, and you’ll need at least one arm out of the water to be effective on both sides of the ball. Plus, all players, goalies in particular, need to be able to propel themselves out of the water without their feet touching the ground—touching the bottom of the pool isn’t allowed at any time. Plus, the game is extremely physical between the players, making it an intensely demanding sport for the duration of the game, which will last for four eight-minute quarters in the Olympics.

Water polo is one of the modern Olympics’ oldest institutions, dating all the way back to 1900. Although often overlooked in the U.S., the game is actually quite popular in certain parts of Europe, such as Italy and Greece, where there are professional leagues, and Hungary, where water polo is the national sport. On that note, Hungary is the biggest world power in the game, having collected gold medals in the last three Summer Olympics.

However, according to Shea Buckner, an attacker for the U.S. water polo team, the U.S. recently defeated Hungary in a match (along with another win over Croatia), and he also says most of the 12 men’s water polo teams headed to London this summer have a decent shot at taking the tournament, so Hungary will have plenty of challengers.

Buckner says the fitness required to play water polo at an Olympic level is truly in a league of its own, even in comparison to other sports in the elite levels. “We swim well over 2 miles per match, we cannot touch the bottom of the pool, all while wrestling and fighting with another 6’ 5", 250-lb. opponent,” he says. “If that wasn’t hard enough, we then have to make accurate decisions, precision passes, and ultimately score while under tremendous physical strain.”

The training it takes to get a player through a game in one piece is, as you would expect, incredibly intense. In fact, it would probably qualify as grueling, even for guys that consider themselves fit. Here’s a basic breakdown of a typical day with the U.S. team from Buckner:

7:45 AM-9:45 AM - Lifting weights

9:45 AM-12 PM - Swim 6,000 to 8,000 yards. This is about 3.5-4.5 miles.

7:00 PM-10:00 PM - Swim another 3,000 to 5,000 yards; approximately 2-3 miles.

After this, it’s on to working on game tactics and leg conditioning.

Over seven hours of pushing the body to its absolute limit in just one day of training—it definitely sounds like an Olympian effort. Training hones in on building plenty of leg strength, since the best players are the strongest ones, with the ability to elevate out of the water from the force of their legs and core. Players constantly churn their legs independent of one another in a circular motion to stay above the water, a technique known as the “egg-beater.” The skill allows players to remain stable above the water while also keeping arms free to play the game. Of course, the technique takes a tremendous amount of leg strength, and general body strength, to sustain it for such a long period of time. Even with all the training, Buckner says players usually substitute every two to three minutes to stay fresh.

Interestingly, the physique of a water polo player depends on the position in the game.

“Attackers are normally leaner and faster, while centers are much more bulky,” Buckner says. “Defenders and centers are normally the tallest players and also strongest in the pool, but what attackers give up weight and strength, they make up for in speed.”

If you’re looking to shake up your workouts a bit, consider emulating some of the hard work put in by world-class water polo players. For starters, Buckner suggests working on power cleans to develop all-around strength. In the pool, he suggests treading water by mastering the egg-beater technique, gradually raising your hands and then elbows out of the water over time as you develop the skill. If you can do this for 30 minutes at once, as Buckner suggests, you might have a future as a water polo player.

GUCCIFIED GEAR IS GREAT, BUT WHAT’S EVEN BETTER IS HAVING THE FORTITUDE TO PUT IN WORK IRREGARDLESS. GET WITH COURAGE OVER KIT OR GET LOST.

Knowledge check: drag handle

DARC METHOD

Materials needed - about 7ft of tubular nylon, a non-locking carabiner, two heavy duty rubber bands, a lighter, and scissors/knife.

1. Grab your tubular nylon. We have rolls of it at work so I just grabbed the end and held it above above my head and cut it where it touched the ground but 7 or 7.5 ft should do it (you can always make it shorter so if you're not sure, go with 10ft and trim it as needed). This gave me about 8-10 inches of drag strap when fully deployed - about enough to cradle the casualties head. Personally, I'd like it a little longer.

2. Burn the ends of the nylon so it doesn't fray.

3. Fold the nylon webbing in half, and at the fold, tie an overhand knot making a loop about 2-3 inches long. Attach your carabiner to the loop.

4. Take your two running ends of webbing and thread them through your MOLLE so that your loop and biner are centered at the bottom of your plate carrier.

5. You should have a couple feet of webbing at the top of your plate carrier. Tie a water knot making sure to center the knot the best you can. To tie a water knot - take one running end, tie an overhand knot. Take your other running end and retrace the overhand knot.

6. Grab two rubber bands and loop them around the MOLLE where your tubular webbing exits. Take out 99% of the slack and S-fold the remaining tubular webbing. Secure the webbing with the two rubber bands.

You now have a casualty extraction strap on you at all times. Before you roll out, have a buddy clip your carabiner onto your belt (BOTH BELTS if you're running a two belt system).

The Sparc Solar and the KD4 grip complete this shorty. Minimalism at its best.
