Training

Period of time the rifle remains in a specific state during the firing sequence

26,000psi

occurs during initial rearward movement of the bolt after bolt rotation stops

maintaining the reliable operation of the weapon through inspection, cleaning, and parts replacement

study of the flight characteristics of projectiles

path of the projectile while in flight

affects of projectile while in flight

• higher altitudes; air is thinner, bullet will travel farther
• (each 5K ft of elevation will raise POI .5-1 MOA)

• Cold Air= Lower impact
• Hot Air= Higher impact

*cold air is denser causing more drag

when your body, rifle, sights and target are all in alignment w/out muscular manipulation of the rifle

1. Firing 2. Unlocking 3.Extracting 4. ejecting  5. cocking  6. feeding  7.chambering  8. locking

hammer falls with no effect

A break in the cycle of operation; one that requires unloading/clearing of the weapon and re-loading.

a malfunction requiring tools or parts to fix

• -the inherent disposition of a living organism toward a particular behavior
• -unlearned, fixed patterns of reaction or responses to certain kinds of stimuli

an action that has been learned and over time has become so rehearsed that it appears to be automatic

physical efficiency creating maximum work

the length of step

stability produced by even distribution of weight on each side of a vertical axis

• 1) Size
• 2) Strength
• 3) ability / disability
• 4) visual acuity
• 5) comfort

the position or bearing of the body, whether characteristic or assumed, for a special purpose

the rate of steps

the study of the principles of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement

• 1. pace
• 2. posture
• 3. gait
• 4. balance

• 1. bring the weapon into the work space
• 2. movements are deliberate and to the point
• 3. index the weapon at a cant into the work space, new mag, bolt release

• -need time and oppurtunity
• -draw out the last mag you would go to
• -you should be behind cover, feed from the rear, stow back into the rear

• 1. Maximize certainty of success
• 2. Minimize mental and physchological out put
• 3. minimize response team

the awareness of the position and movemenent of the parts of the body by means of sensory organs (proprioceptors) in the muscles, ligaments and joints

a sensory receptor that recieves stimuli from within the body, especially one that responds to position and movement

How we percieve the exterior world (sight, touch, smell, touch, hearing and balance)

means by which we percieve the pain and movement of internal organs

• Destructive trauma
• rapid incapacitation
• instant incapacitation
• psychological stop

Achieved by a hit to the CNS, either in the lower brain region or the upper spinal cord

takes place when the limbs are so badly damaged they are rendered useless

occurs when there is sufficient blood loss to render the suspect weak or unconscious

includes visual of a firearm. Happens when non-incapacitating wounds affect the suspect

Down range is an administratively designated area where projectiles are intended to impact

A constant force that is placed upon the projectile regardless of shape, size, weight or velocity

At higher altitudes, the air is thinner and thus the bullet will travel further distances, with a correspondingly flatter trajectory. Each 5K feet of elevation will raise the strike of the bullet ½ to 1 minute of angle.

Deviation from standard daytime temperature (59 degrees Fahrenheit) affects bullet trajectory.

• ? Cold air is denser thus causing more drag on the bullet. This will cause the bullet to lose velocity resulting in the impact being lower than the intended point of impact. Cooler air also causes lower chamber pressure, which reduces the initial muzzle velocity.
• ? Warm or hot temperatures cause the strike of the round to move up.

• The primary indication of a malfunction is the failure of the rifle to fire.
• ? The 2nd indicator is a visual inspection which will identify an obvious stoppage.
• ? The 3rd indicator is an odd change in the weight transfer of the weapon during recoil. This is usually caused by a failure of the bolt to go completely to the rear or forward fully into battery.

• A failure to fire when the hammer falls with no effect
• (Tap, Rack, Re-Assess)

Is one that requires unloading/clearing the weapon system and reloading/resuming

Means that a remedy will require tools and/or replacement parts

This occurs when two live rounds are present in the feed way at the same time.

When the weapon discharges, the shock of the bolt carrier moving to the rear can dislodge a round from the feed lips of a weak or unserviceable magazine before the bolt comes forward. If the shooter is at an extreme angle, the live round can fall into the carrier key channel in the upper receiver

• -extractor loses control of empty case
• -bolt comes forward, stripping fresh cartridge
• -empty case gets knocked up between bolt step and gas key

• -extractor loses control of empty case
• -bolt moves forward stripping new round\
• -empty case gets lodged between bolt and carrier key channel

caused by some type of obstacle in front of the ejection port

The extractor slips off the case rim, while the bolt feeds a live round into the rear of the stuck brass
