From 22:00 he says during his tenure in NSG, he fired 10000 rounds daily during training.

He also talks about SERE training which he says "POW training" of Marcos in which cadets get beaten continuously for 1 hour and this will continue for many days (probably till the end of SERE training).

If I remember correctly US Tier 1 shoot around shoot around 200-300 rounds a week.

10K rounds daily - their fingers would fall off. That's over 300 magazines a day .

US Tier-1 units actually shoot more than 200-300 rounds in a day, let alone in a week.
  • 500-800 rounds/day during basic individual skills maintenance (like a normal "range day").
  • 1000-2000+ rounds/day during high-intensity training (CQB, shoot house runs, dynamic shooting drills).
  • Some multi-day training cycles or shooting packages (like advanced marksmanship courses) can push 10,000+ rounds in a week.
They shoot until the training objectives are hit, ammo resupply is not a limiting factor for Tier 1 guys. Emphasis isn't just on volume but perfect repetitions under pressure (accuracy under speed, movement, low-light, stress).

The first time I ever shot a rifle (this was a package at a local gun range where you can select 3 different rifles and each comes with 30 round mag), I was surprised how quickly you can empty an entire mag even in burst mode

"During training, it was not uncommon for us to fire 2000 rounds a day. You shot until your hands bled and then you taped up your hands and shot some more."
- Paul Howe, Delta Force, Battle of Mogadishu veteran

After doing mag changes, racking slides, clearing malfunctions thousands of times a day, their hands would blister and tear open. They’d just duct-tape or med-tape their hands and keep going until the session was complete. The goal was to train like you fight

Delta Force (CAG) Training:

  • Selection is followed by Operator Training Course (OTC) about 6 months long.
    • 1000–2000+ rounds per day was very normal.
    • Operators would burn through 10,000–15,000 rounds per week just on rifles.
    • Handgun shooting is almost as heavy , think 6000–10,000 rounds a week for pistols alone.
SEAL Team 6 (DEVGRU) Training:
  • Green Team is the 9-month selection and training course for DEVGRU.
  • They even practice "one round CQB" (enter and neutralize with a single shot) to drill efficiency under extreme pressure.
    • 1000+ rounds daily were the norm.
    • Some days they'd push closer to 2000–2500 rounds, especially during Room-clearing drills, Vehicle interdictions & Dynamic hostage rescues
