Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary goal of the CQB stock manipulation drill?

The primary goal is to teach operators how to dynamically manipulate their rifle's muzzle and buttstock around obstacles like door frames or people, essential for maintaining a smaller profile and achieving accurate shots in close-quarters combat environments.

How does this drill differ from traditional rifle practice?

Traditional practice often keeps the buttstock in the shoulder. This CQB drill emphasizes dynamic manipulation, including sliding the buttstock out of the shoulder or extreme muzzle movement, to adapt to confined spaces and dynamic threats.

What are the key safety considerations for this stock manipulation drill?

Crucially, avoid 'flagging' – sweeping the muzzle across teammates or yourself. This involves understanding how to manipulate the muzzle high or low, or slide the buttstock, without compromising safety in a team environment.
