Why do you need medical skills and tools?

[Mick-Boy]

FWIW, Our SOP is; A TQ goes on if there is any high pressure or high volume bleeding from a wound (it doesn't have to be both) on a limb. You should be able to put it on any of your limbs yourself. This means being able to do it with one hand.

As with any skill - You're only as good as your training. So seek good training.

The other thing to consider is the location of and medical resources near the incident. In the case of the man in the video, may he rest in peace, a tourniquet might have simply lengthened his suffering. Do you think there was a capable doctor and donor blood in his general vicinity, 15 minutes away ?

If the tq stopped the bleeding he'd have up to 6 hrs.

Case or med evacs are around. Its highly likely he was savable

In that particular event, yes. They were in the army base. A mob accused that young man of stealing and turned him in to the army. These assholes simply executed him.

Based on those uniforms, they are Pakistani rangers/ mountain troops.

I hope libtards watch that vid. It's their wet dream to have unarmed civilian society and have fellow citizens turn in others to the authority.

Are you flipping KIDDING me? I know Airsoft is a fun hobby, but really? I also fixed it for ya.

They will just argue that "our troops are above that and would never fire upon our own citizens". well then the government will just recruit people who will, and get rid of the people who won't. It is arrogant to think Americans are ANY different from any of the other countries with HUMANS in it, that have government sanctioned armies that do this.

We just had a medical class for work where we trained with tourniquets (applying them) with live fire.

The "Golden hour" is the key to survival. One hour after being shot and tourniquet is applied you should be in surgery to increase chances of survival. Beyond that, it's not a good day...

I'm curious why this. Is it just like any other knockoff (make/sell something cheap), or is a simulated medic something that's become popular with the airsoft guys?

[Mick-Boy]

Because a legit CAT is around $30 and people are cheap.

These have been floating around since about 2009. Buy your life saving gear from a reliable source. Buying body armor or medical gear from ebay is asking for trouble that you won't know about until it's too late....

I have not seen fake CAT's that are Gen V or Gen VI. Gen V and VI have the RedTip and Fatter Windless. All the fakes I have seen have been pervious generations. Go to North American Rescue or Rescue Essentials to get your CAT's.

Mick boiled it down to very simple things, if it's high pressure or high volume you get a TQ. Better to error on the side of caution here and throw on a TQ.

This is especially true when you have easy access to a higher level of care. If there is an injury to a limb and the thought "wow that's bleeding a lot" pops into your head, put a TQ on it. The Docs can take it off later. They can't bring someone back from the dead.
