Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'woods walk' training drill?

A 'woods walk' is a practical firearms training exercise simulating movement through an environment, focusing on situational awareness, target identification, and engagement using various firing modes while on the move.

What are the key safety procedures demonstrated with the Colt M16?

What is the significance of the A2 Dissipator upper receiver?

When only one round is left in the magazine, the rifle cannot fire in full-auto mode because there is no subsequent round to chamber and fire after the initial shot is taken.
