Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'threshold mistake' in CQB?

The threshold mistake occurs when a shooter allows their firearm's muzzle to cross the doorway threshold before their eyes do when entering a room. This prematurely exposes their position and intent to potential adversaries inside.

Why is it important to keep your weapon out of the doorway threshold?

Keeping your weapon out of the threshold prevents adversaries from grabbing it and avoids 'telegraphing' your movement. If they see your muzzle, they know exactly where you are and when you're about to move, allowing them to react.

How can seeing a muzzle in the doorway benefit an adversary?

If an adversary inside sees a muzzle enter the door frame, they can shoot through the wall at that location or prepare an ambush. They gain critical information about your position and timing before you even enter the room.

What is the correct technique for clearing a doorway in CQB?

The correct technique involves clearing the doorway with your eyes first to visually assess the threat area. Only after you can see into the room should you bring your weapon to bear, avoiding exposing the muzzle prematurely.
