I find that these movements are easier to learn when you have an instructor using a loaded rifle that keeps screaming at you when you do it wrong.

Yeah, you're right... such experience makes it easier to learn because it stays in your mind. The problem with online teaching is that there are some limitations like I cannot carry out the usual style of teaching drills. Nevertheless, teaching weaponry may be easier to discuss (except for the manual parts like disassembly and usage) because it is more on the technical knowledge rather than the manual part.
