Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'tap, rack, bang' drill?

The 'tap, rack, bang' is a common immediate action drill for semi-automatic firearms. It involves tapping the bottom of the magazine to ensure it's seated, racking the charging handle to clear a potential obstruction or un-chambered round, and then re-engaging the trigger to fire.

When should you transition from your rifle to your pistol?

You should transition from your rifle to your pistol when immediate action drills fail to clear a malfunction, or if your rifle becomes inoperable and you still need to engage a threat. This ensures you maintain a viable weapon system.

What does 'lock it to the rear' mean in firearms training?

'Lock it to the rear' typically refers to pulling the charging handle all the way back and engaging the bolt catch or release mechanism. This is often done after clearing a malfunction to ensure the rifle is ready to be reloaded or fired.

Why are weapon malfunction drills important?

Weapon malfunction drills are crucial for developing proficiency in clearing stoppages under stress. They build muscle memory and tactical decision-making skills, ensuring you can quickly restore your firearm to a functional state or transition to a secondary weapon.
