I can tell you haven't much in the way of combat experience. All of these things you've read online or in a FM somewhere go totally out the window in combat. All of these things you're talking about are completely in the land of theory when people are trying to kill you and vice versa. On two of my three combat tours in the infantry I spent most of the time kicking in doors, zip-tying people to themselves, and tossing a hood over their heads. And that was when they weren't trying to fight. The real world is far too chaotic and fast for the games you are talking about playing. You know I once had to clear the first three stories of an office building between myself and two other guys. There were a stupid amount of rooms. We cleared upwards of thirty rooms because of one smartass firing down from the top floor. All those Youtube videos you're quoting are meaningless in a situation like that.
