Frequently Asked Questions

What is an 'out of battery' firearm malfunction?

An 'out of battery' malfunction occurs when the firearm's slide is not fully closed or in battery. This prevents the firing pin from striking the primer, thus failing to discharge the round. It's a common stoppage that requires immediate action clearance.

Why is a suspect disarming an officer of a Taser considered a critical threat?

A suspect disarming an officer of a Taser is a critical threat because it incapacitates the officer and allows the suspect to potentially seize the officer's primary firearm, escalating the situation to a lethal level for everyone involved.

What is the recommended method for clearing an 'out of battery' malfunction?

The recommended method for clearing an 'out of battery' malfunction is the 'tap-rack' immediate action drill. This involves tapping the magazine baseplate firmly and racking the slide to eject the faulty round and chamber a new one.

How does the Mantis X training system assist firearm users?
