Your diagram doesn't show the issue.

The diagram is a start though. It's the
strategy - which he needs to change - and now he's got to develop the
tactic which he has to develop, and that's going to require some work, not a quick patch. We can't comment too much about about specifics because we don't know Splinter's loadout nor his particular role on a team, if any (in that case team leaders should drill the guy to death). I don't know if he's a fat guy with a Juggernaut rig or a skinny guy in a t-shirt.
Well, Handsonic, you've got to accept that you're going to expose your fleshy parts when you round the corner. What you want to do is expose the
minimum about of meat (pat pending) when you do so and yeah, I'm not telling you anything you don't know but what I am saying is you are going to have to drill. Fortunately you have some stupid simple drill options. For the mirror exercise I suggest checking out this this guide below.

It's not the best guide for room-clearing, but the mirror exercise is solid. I'd also recommend getting a buddy and doing the flashlight exercise they suggest. If it helps start small in your PJs and a pistol, then work your way up to more gear & longer guns. After that, try drilling at a game. If you don't have a team, rope some guys together temporarily. Dude's love stacking & breaching.
Yes, you will discover limits. It's not cowardice to avoid a killing floor. But there's always going to be that killer corner in that killer hallway, or that one 4' x 4' x 4' you always get stuck behind. And at that point just say fuck it and go out like a boss and I'll meet you in Valhalla (e.g. staging).
