Having lived in a rural area in the Midwest I know a lot of people that could be called gun fanciers and don't know of a single one that has trained like this ever.
I know my personal experience is anecdotal and has no broader application but I am curious what you leads you state that "Gun fanciers train like this all the time."
From what I have seen and read this type of training seems to be a fringe group that is anti-government and as much about anarchy as they are gun fanciers.

Watching the video I felt otherwise. BlueNoMatterWho Jul 2016 #1

I would be surprised if the one in the video was not in the military at some point. Ash_F Jul 2016 #6
Gun fanciers train like this all the time. "Sniper" rifles are quite popular nowadays. Hoyt Jul 2016 #7
