Description

In this clip from The Shawn Ryan Show, defense tech founder Ethan Thornton steps onto the range with former Navy SEAL/CIA contractor Shawn Ryan for a shooting challenge that quickly turns competitive. As they run through targets at multiple distances, Ethan gets hands-on experience firing the SIG Sauer MCX SPEAR — the powerful battle rifle adopted by the U.S. military’s Next Generation Squad Weapon program. What starts as a friendly range session turns into a fast-paced shooting competition, testing fundamentals, recoil control, and accuracy under pressure. As Ethan learns, shooting the rifle in real life is very different from watching “YouTube armchair experts” talk about it online.

I don't care how well you can shoot. Having a range day with Shawn is epic. Hell, range day is always epic.

"You're using the little circle in the center right?" 🤣🤣 By no means am I making fun of the young man, because I'd be shitting my pants in his situation.

Correction, why you never challenge a Navy SEAL who was a CIA hitman to a shooting match.
