[Special Forces Melee] Official Teaching Manual Explanation II
text:
A varied and challenging shooting training program is the cornerstone of CQC. The difference in this training is that it enables team members to knock down the opponent with precise shooting when approaching the enemy at close range - today's army's shooting training is no longer what it used to be, and It becomes a matter of dealing with those semi-annual combat skill tests, rather than maintaining or improving the soldier's shooting level. However, shooting is a skill that will diminish if not practiced, and there is no shortcut to it. To maintain the soldier's shooting level Skills undoubtedly require space and consume a lot of ammunition; but a well-trained shooter will definitely have an advantage in combat.
Eight essentials of shooting:
1. Stance: Spread your feet about shoulder width apart and about ten centimeters apart. The back feet need to stand firm to maintain the balance of the body and be ready to move forward or backward at any time. The knees are slightly bent and the upper body leans forward - Because you will have to use 60 to 70% of your body weight to absorb the recoil when shooting. When standing, do not spread your elbows or lower your head, and keep your body facing the target.
Key points: Correct standing posture should be comfortable.
2. Holding a gun (grip): The correct grip is like making a fist around the handle of the gun, while allowing your index finger to be flexibly controlled. Take shooting with the right hand as an example - hold the right hand with the left hand, and clasp the left thumb on the right On the thumb, the left ring finger is placed under the trigger guard, and a little force is used to lift the gun body upward: in this way, the force of pressing down on the left palm and lifting up on the left ring finger acts like a pair of pliers to stabilize the gun.
Key points: The posture of holding the gun often varies from person to person; but the key point is that it should be comfortable
3. Sight Alignment: Correct aiming is to place the sight in the center of the recess of the target hole - when viewed from the eye, the top of the sight should be flush with the target hole and in line. If you don't know which direction you are aiming at, If you aim with only one eye, you can do it as follows: extend your arm and point any finger at any object, then close your left eye and observe your finger with your right eye, then close your right eye and use your left eye to Observe with your eyes. If at one glance you feel that your finger is pointing towards the original object, that eye is the one you use to aim.
4. Sight Picture: This refers to the situation between the front sight, the sight hole and the target when the shooter takes aim. A correct sight picture consists of the correct sight line and the front sight located in the center of the target. Since the eye can only aim at one object at a time at different distances, the final gaze often falls on the front sight. When the front sight looks particularly clear, the target hole and target are often ignored out of focus.
5. Breathing: To maintain accurate shooting in combat, the first thing is to be able to stop breathing 'correctly' at any time - especially at the moment of aiming at the target and pulling the trigger, the shooter must first inhale, exhale, and then Inhale again naturally, exhale slightly until it is even, hold your breath, and finally shoot. Because it is difficult to maintain accurate aim when you breathe, you must learn this series of steps.
6. Trigger Control (TriggerControl): In order to shoot accurately when aiming at slow speed, you must follow the following two steps: first turn on the safety, and then when raising the gun to aim, gradually apply force backward smoothly and uninterruptedly until the trigger is fired. .Beginners who use a double-action trigger often pause before aiming and then pull the trigger after aiming; if they use a single-action trigger, they lift the trigger when facing the target. When using the gun, open the safety and apply a slight force on the trigger (taking the M-9 pistol as an example, the click force is between 4-6.5 pounds when using a single-action trigger, and between 9.5-16.5 pounds when using a double-action trigger) pounds), aim, and then pull the trigger smoothly without interruption. After firing, the trigger should be released in order to prepare for another shot; but do not take your index finger off the trigger.
Tips: During the process of clamping the plate machine, you should focus on the front sight.
7. Follow Through: This refers to continuing to maintain the control/attention essentials for all shooting, even in the gap between shooting - you should concentrate on it, even if the bullet has been fired, and only in this way can you be able to shoot in a short period of time. The original correct aiming chart is still retained during the rest.
8. Recovery: This is to return the weapon to its original holding posture: that is, in the center of the aiming area and in line with the target-reticle. If your standing and gun-holding posture is correct, then this action should be It must be correct and natural. The recovery movement must be clean and neat, so that the shoulder can directly bear the recoil force when the gun is fired. After each shot, you should immediately return to the original position and be ready for the next shot.
Two preparation positions for shooting:
1. Low Ready Position: When you hold the M-9 pistol in a low posture, note that the safety must be 'off', hold the gun close to your body, with the muzzle facing down at a 45-degree angle; while holding the M-9 pistol in a low posture At -16A2, place the butt of the gun against your right shoulder. The muzzle of the gun is also pointed downward at a 45-degree angle. When you engage the target, raise the gun and aim through the crosshair.
Note: No matter what kind of gun you are holding, you must make sure that the safety is closed, the muzzle of the gun is facing down, and the index finger must not be placed in the trigger guard.
2. High Ready Position: When you hold the M-9 pistol in a high posture, the gun should be about a few inches away from your right shoulder, with the muzzle pointing upward at about eye level - this will allow you to reach the target at the shortest distance. Draw the gun from inside and aim at the target; when holding the M-16A2 in a high posture, clamp the bottom plate of the butt under the arm, the muzzle should be lower than the eye level, and push the rifle forward (like stabbing a gun) when engaging. After the butt is out of the arm, slide it onto your shoulder and hold it tightly. Although it is not easy to hold the M-16A2 in a high posture, with a little practice, you can complete the entire movement in one go.
Four ways to shoot:
1. Slowaimed fire: For beginners or those with shooting experience to warm up, apply the eight essentials slowly to ensure that every action is correct: if you aim at the rear sight in the picture, The center of the front sight; if you are using a folding front sight, the front sight should be at the same height as the upper edge of the rear sight. If time permits, you can also practice shooting with live ammunition, but be aware that accuracy is more important than speed.
2. Quick Aimed Fire: When engaging with a close target (within 15 meters), you generally have very little time to complete a correct aiming picture. Quick Aimed Fire is actually a cross between correct aiming and quick aiming. Between shots (Aimedquickkill). When you raise the weapon to eye level, move your eyes from the target to the front sight, making sure the rear sight is in the center of the front sight: the reason for this is to increase the distance of the kill zone. Prolongation. This method should be practiced slowly at first, and then speed up as you gain proficiency.
3. Aimed quickkill: When practicing this technique with the M-16A2 rifle, you still press the butt of the gun against your shoulder just like normal shooting. But the difference is that aiming is no longer in a straight line through the rear sight. Instead, look past the rear sight and focus on the crosshair, and then place the upper edge of the crosshair slightly below the intended hit point. Generally, shooters are quite accurate in this way within 12 meters. If you want to hit a farther target, Just return to the original sighting method of aiming through the rear sight without moving your head or weapon. You can also use a larger 0-2 short sight to complete this exercise.
4. Flashsight picture: This method is used to complete aiming in the shortest time; but this method is only effective within 7 meters. It is to focus on the target when engaging the target, and aim with the front sight. When the target appears in When the front sight is in front of the front sight, shoot. It is similar to the way you engage the enemy with a shotgun without a rear sight.
Pistol magazine replacement:
1. Use your thumb to press the magazine catch, and at the same time use the hand not holding the gun (for example, the left hand for a right-handed shooter) to take out the new magazine from the magazine bag (if you cannot touch the magazine bag at once, you can move your hand along the belt again Find the ammo bag).
2. After the empty magazine is separated from the pistol, lower the gun body slightly to the middle of the body, with the muzzle still facing the enemy. (Right-handed shooter) place the index finger of the left hand on the front edge of the magazine, and accurately insert the new magazine into the gun body.
3. When inserting the magazine into the gun with your left hand, release the slide stop and return to the original gun-holding posture, keeping your eyes facing the target. (You may not press the slide stop accurately because your eyes are facing the target. When shooting, you can directly pull the slide back to load the bullet).
4. Lift the gun body to its original height, aim again, and shoot.
Weapon conversion method (from M-16A2 to M-9 pistol):
1. To smoothly complete the weapon switching action, first turn off the safety of the M-16A2, then place it on the left side of the body (take a right-handed shooter as an example), and at the same time take out the M-9 from the holster with your right hand and hold it straight up. to the aiming position. It is more complicated to complete this action with the M-16A2 - you must first make sure the gun strap is tight enough to allow the gun to slide from the right hand to the left, otherwise the rifle will slide to the front of your body, making it difficult for you to move, or even The hot barrel will hurt your legs.
2. Some people shoot rifles with their right hand but shoot pistols with their left hand. This cannot be done in this training because your left hand holding the rifle cannot easily be used to pull the pistol trigger; and when the rifle slides to the body If it is on one side, it will just block your holster, making it difficult for you to draw the gun. Therefore, shooters who have this habit should adjust the shooting posture of all weapons to the same side.
Immediate action drill:
1. When you have both a primary weapon (M-16A2) and an auxiliary weapon (M-9), you can quickly switch from rifle to pistol shooting.
2. When you have switched to a secondary weapon, or you do not have a secondary weapon, remember the SPORTS mantra: Slap the magazine to make sure it is loaded, then pull the handle and observe to make sure. There is no bullet in the gun chamber. Release the handle and tap to ensure that the bolt is in position. Squeeze the trigger after obtaining the aiming chart.
3. When you use the M-9 pistol, you also follow the SPORT formula: pull back the slide to make sure the bullet has entered the gun (if the magazine is not loaded, the bullet cannot enter), and then release the slide. holster, then aim/shoot. The last tapping action is less necessary for pistols.
Note: This training is step-by-step, so train by adding new items every day.
Glossary:
ControlledPairs: This refers to two shots after careful aiming: the first shot follows normal procedures to ensure that it can accurately hit the target; while the second shot is fired after the gun body is stabilized and the aiming map is re-obtained (because rapid aiming map shooting is more It is not accurate and the quick aim shooting method is used here).
RhythmDrill: This training method is to train shooters to have smooth rhythm, speed, accuracy and posture recovery. Generally, shooters have to fire five rounds of bullets during training: the trigger is in a double-action state during the first round (two shots are required). The next four shots are single-action. After the shooting, the shooter should return to the original state and prepare for the second wave of shooting. In this kind of training, the shooter must slow down at the beginning and complete each shot. The aiming/shooting/recovery movements of bullets must be done accurately, accuracy is the first requirement, and the speed will be improved due to the proficiency of training.
DoubleTap: There are reasons for shooting two bullets at once: first, it greatly improves the chance of hitting the target; second, no matter how good the shooter is when he only shoots one bullet, he may miss. The first bullet starts with Shoot with a quick aiming pattern, then control the recoil of the gun, determine the second aiming pattern, and then fire the second shot.
Note: After the first shot is fired, you must first release the trigger and then apply pressure to fire the second shot, otherwise the trigger cycle cannot be completed.
TargetIndexing: When engaging multiple targets, you must identify the target from the target group. In order to help target selection, you should use the recoil of the gun to move the gun to the next target you want to shoot. Avoid making target corrections and hesitations, and immediately move to the second target after knocking down the first target with two shots.
Shootingovercover: For example, on a car body or a short wall, the shooter often squats behind the cover. If the cover is too low, he should consider kneeling to avoid being exposed. His weapon should be in a ready state when he wants to When standing up for shooting, the shooter should use the lowest posture that can be used to aim/shoot, and use the cover as a platform so that the weapon does not extend out of the cover. In addition, when shooting, the shooter should not place the weapon directly on the hard surface of the cover. On the surface, you should use something softer (such as your left hand) as a cushion.
Shootingaroundcover: Use more standing/kneeling/lying positions. Before shooting, the shooter should keep his body as close to the bunker as possible and keep the weapon ready, so that he will not expose himself and become the target of the enemy. When shooting, he should point his body towards the gun. Which side to shoot (right-handed shooter to the right), which also allows him to expose the least part when shooting. If he is in a standing/kneeling position, the shooter should quickly take a short step out when shooting, just enough to enable him to shoot. When engaging the farthest target, his body is like an inward arc, and he can shoot just when the target appears. The essentials of lying down are similar, except that the shooter moves his elbow to the outside instead of taking a step. Except a little bit different.
