CWDE FIRING TECHNIQUES (CONT) • CANT RIFLE OR HEAD • ADJUST TO FIRE ACCURATELY WITH TILTED SIGHT ALIGNMENT • BULLETS MAY STRIKE LOW - COMPENSATE ACCORDINGLY • ALL SHOOTING FUNDAMENTALS STILL APPLY
RAPID FIRE • ENGAGING MULTIPLE TARGETS QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY • PROVIDE SUPPRESSIVE FIRE • ALL MARKSMANSHIP FUNDAMENTALS STILL APPLY • MAGAZINE CHANGES DONE QUICKLY • TACTICAL SITUATION WILL ULTIMATELY DETERMINE THE RATE OF FIRE NEEDED
RATES OF FIRE • SUSTAINED - WELL AIMED DELIBERATE SHOTS EVERY 3 - 10 SECONDS • RAPID - LARGE VOLUME OF ACCURATE FIRE TO THE TARGET AREA, 1 SHOT EVERY 1 - 2 SECONDS • AUTOMATIC - USED TO GAIN INITIAL FIRE SUPERIORITY OR TO ENGAGE MULTIPLE TARGETS AT CLOSE RANGE - ALSO WHEN DELIVERING AS MANY SHOTS AS POSSIBLE IN THE SHORTEST TIME OUTWEIGHS THE IMPORTANCE OF WELL AIMED FIRE AND AMMO CONSERVATION
RAPID FIRE • SOME DEGREE OF ACCURACY WILL BE SACRIFICED FOR SPEED • WITH PRACTICE BOTH ACCURACY AND SPEED WILL INCREASE • IF MORE THAN ONE SHOOTER IS DELIVERING SUPPRESSIVE FIRE, ALTERNATE MAGAZINE CHANGES
AUTOMATIC FIRE • EACH SHOT FIRED MUST COUNT TOWARD ITS INTENDED PURPOSE - TO KILL THE ENEMY • AIMING - ALL FUNDAMENTALS STILL APPLY • FIRST SHOT WILL ARRIVE AT EXACT AIMING POINT - THE REST DEPEND ON FOLLOW THROUGH • STEADY HOLD AND POSITION • USE OF SLING AND SUPPORT
STEADY HOLD • USE SUPPORT OF SANDBAGS OR BIPOD WHEN POSSIBLE • GRIP - HOLD WEAPON FIRMLY • USING THE SLING LOOP, PULL RIFLE TIGHT INTO SHOULDER
USE AUTOMATIC FIRE WHEN: • IF YOU NEED IT, USE IT • AMMO CONSUMPTION IS NOT A FACTOR • ENGAGING CLOSELY SPACED MULTIPLE TARGETS AT 50 METERS OR LESS • MAXIMUM SUPPRESSIVE FIRE IS NEEDED IN THE TARGET AREA • TRACERS CAN BE USED TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF BULLETS ON THE TARGET AREA • STABLE SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE • INITIAL SOUND OF AUTO FIRE WILL AID IN DISRUPTING AND DISPERSING CLOSELY SPACED ENEMY TARGETS
STOPPAGES & MALFUNCTIONS STOPPAGE - ANY INTERRUPTION IN THE CYCLE OF OPERATION. A STOPPAGE MAY OR MAY NOT BE CAUSED BY THE WEAPON FUNCTIONING IMPROPERLY MALFUNCTION - A FAILURE OF THE WEAPON TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. A MALFUNCTION CANUSUALLY BE PINPOINTED TO SPECIFIC PART BREAKAGE OR EXCESSIVE WEAR

NIGHT VISION • ADAPTATION TO THE DARK VARIES -- 30 - 45 MINUTES DEPENDING ON PERSON • ANY AMOUNT OF ANY COLOR OF LIGHT WILL DEGRADE NIGHT VISION
OFF-CENTER VISION • DO NOT TRY TO FOCUS ON TARGET DIRECTLY • LOOK OFF TO ONE SIDE OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE OR BELOW YOUR TARGET • MOST EFFECTIVE TO AIM AT BASE OF TARGET • NATURAL TENDENCY TO SHOOT HIGH • ANY SHOT LOW ON TARGET IS BETTER THAN A SHOT THAT IS HIGH AND A MISS
SCANNING • THE SHORT, ABRUPT, IRREGULAR MOVEMENT OF YOUR EYES AROUND AN OBJECT OR AREA • SUCCESSFUL TARGET ENGAGEMENT AT NIGHT REQUIRES ACCURATE AND WELL PRACTICED POINTING TECHNIQUES • NATURAL TENDENCY IS TO POINT AND SHOOT HIGH • PRACTICE IS REQUIRED - TRUST TRACERS
NIGHT VISION DEVICES AN/PVS4 AN/PVS7-D AN/PAQ4
AN/PVS-7BNIGHT VISION GOGGLES • MOST COMMONLY USED AT NIGHT IN A DEFENSIVE FIGHTING POSITION, OR WHILE PATROLLING • UNLESS USED WITH THE ANPAQ4, OR LALPS, YOU MUST USE POINTING TECHNIQUE TO ENGAGE TARGETS
