Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'combat clearance' or 'slicing the pie' in self-defense?

'Slicing the pie' is a tactical movement technique where you incrementally expose yourself to a threat around a corner or doorway. This allows you to assess and engage the threat in controlled stages, minimizing your exposure compared to a direct, rapid entry.

Why is the 'fatal funnel' important in home defense?

The 'fatal funnel' is the doorway or entry point, considered the most dangerous area. Moving too quickly through it leaves you exposed. Proper technique, like 'slicing the pie,' is crucial to minimize time spent in this high-risk zone.

What firearm was used in the home invasion training scenario?

The firearm featured in the training scenario was a Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm. It was equipped with Crimson Trace Light Guard & Laser Grip and XS Sights for enhanced tactical capability.

What are Simunition FX marking cartridges used for?

Simunition FX marking cartridges are used in force-on-force training scenarios to simulate real-world engagements without using lethal ammunition. They provide high-stress, realistic training by marking hits on participants.
