DESCRIPTION

Are carbines more capable? Probably. But who cares. The 80’s were awesome, and SMGs were king back then for CQB, counter-terrorism, and hostage rescue. Bring your semi-auto MP5 clone and come have fun with us. Nomex and Avon gas masks, or white tank tops are all optional, but bonus points if you bring a Beretta 92F as your sidearm.

SMG Operator is designed to provide the intermediate level student with a systematic approach to SMG/MP5 clone marksmanship, manipulations, and employment. Our curriculum is progressive in format, with each component skill laying the foundation for the next leading to a well-rounded combat SMG shooter.

Our Reviews

This is the second class I have signed up for. I travel 1600 miles round trip to come to Ridgeline and that should tell you everything you need to know about how I feel about the value and experience of training here.

The Mid Range Carbine class I took at Ridgeline was the most fun, and I think the most beneficial class I have ever taken.

In addition to what we did in the class, I left with a great base of things to work on. Can’t wait to get back to Ridgeline again soon!

I wish I had taken this class when I was a newer shooter so I didn’t have to unlearn so many bad habits. I would recommend the classes here to anyone!
