Frequently Asked Questions

Why is precision shooting important in Close Quarters Battle (CQB)?

Precision is vital in CQB because you are operating in close proximity to teammates and engaging moving targets. Inaccurate shots can lead to friendly fire or missed threats. Modern adversaries also often wear body armor, requiring precise hits to vital areas for effective neutralization.

What is 'height over bore' and why does it matter in CQB?

Height over bore refers to the vertical distance between your firearm's sights and its bore. This difference becomes significant at very close CQB distances, affecting where your rounds will actually impact relative to your point of aim. Understanding it is crucial for accurate engagement.

What is a practical guideline for safe engagement distances around teammates in CQB?

A common tactical guideline for safe engagement distances around teammates in CQB is approximately a 'fist width' away from their muzzle or non-firing hand. This helps prevent accidental friendly fire while still allowing for effective threat engagement.

Should I trust all tactical advice found online, even from former military personnel?

No, it's crucial to vet all tactical advice, regardless of the source's background. Information can become outdated or irrelevant. The video criticizes certain online groups for promoting outdated or incorrect CQB tactics, emphasizing the need for critical evaluation.
