The end result is everything we’d hoped it would be.”

“Federal Ammunition is thrilled to have been invited to participate in the creation of this video,” said Jason Nash VP Marketing at Federal, Ammunition. “Full-Blown Tactical does something very few other videos even attempt—it pulls you in and lets you feel the exhilaration that comes from scenario-based training exercises.
