In its second episode, IRL: In Real Life takes on one of gaming's most loaded subjects: firearms.

Video games and gun violence have often been inextricably tied together by the media. But is there truly a correlation between real-world skills and those you can pick up from Call of Duty?

To find out, Complex editor Hanuman Welch heads over to the Front Sight Firearms Training Institute and spends a day with their professional instructor, Brad Ackman. Using glocks, uzis, and shotguns, the two figure out whether the countless hours Hanuman has devoted to gaming have prepared him for what he's about to experience In Real Life.
