Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Fatal Funnel' in CQB training?

The 'Fatal Funnel' refers to the doorway area during room entry where a threat's weapon is most likely aimed. It's the most dangerous spot, and operators must move through it as quickly as possible to avoid being an easy target.

What does 'running the walls' mean in Close Quarters Battle?

'Running the walls' is a CQB tactic where the entry shooter stays tight against the wall upon entering a room. This provides immediate security, prevents being shot from behind, and keeps the center open for teammates.

How should a weapon be positioned when approaching a doorway for CQB?

When approaching a doorway, 'break the gun down' by pulling it close to your body to prevent the barrel from poking through or being grabbed. Use a high port or compressed ready position for immediate engagement.

What is the benefit of a vertical forward grip in CQB?

A vertical forward grip provides superior leverage and power when manipulating a firearm, especially when 'snapping out' the weapon into a corner. This aggressive control is crucial for high-speed CQB entries.
