  1. Short Range Marksmanship Overview A Company, 2d Bn, 29th Infantry Regiment

  2. I Introduction/Safety Briefing (15 min) A. Introduction B. Safety BriefingC. Range Layout D. Transition Into Short Range Marksmanship, (SRM)It’s proven in today’s military that we are likely to find ourselves in and urban environment during combat. Where enemy engagements are short and quick, and most of them are within 50 meters. We will use SRM in more than room clearing and you will also be able to utilize SRM in the streets and alley ways.

  3. A. Carrying Positions 1. High Ready 2. Low Ready II Fundamentals High Ready Carrying Position Low Ready Carrying Position Stacked on wall outside the building In side the building

  4. B. Aiming Points1. Lethal Zone2. Incapacitation Zone Figure C-4. Incapacitation Zone Aim Points Figure C-3. Lethal Zone Aim Point

  5. C.Trigger Manipulation • 1. Controlled Pairs • - 2 rd’s fired in rapid succession, maintain sight picture • 2. Automatic Fire • - 3 rd burst, slightly faster but not as accurate as CP of a semiautomatic fire. You can use automatic fire when gaining or securing a foothold. • 3. Failure Drills • - make sure target is neutralized, fire CP into the lethal zone and 1 rd into the incapacitating zone.

  6. D. Firing Techniques • 1. Slow Aimed Fire -Properly aligned sight picture, squeezing off rounds. Use when good cover and concealment is available or when accuracy overrides speed. Single shot, most accurate, 25 meters and beyond • 2. Rapid Aimed Fire -Target is obscured by the front side post assembly. Used with Controlled Pairs, fairly accurate up to 15 meters • 3. Aimed Quick Kill -Experience soldiers may use this technique at greater ranges as they become more familiar with it. Soldier aims over rear sight, down the length of the carry handle and places ½ to ¾ inch of the front sight post on the target. Used with Controlled Pairs, accurate-quick, up to 12 meters • 4. Instinctive Fire -Relies on instinct, experience, and muscle memory. Firer concentrates on the target and points the weapon in the general direction of the target with index finger of non-firing hand pointed on line towards the target. Used with Controlled Pairs, least accurate, emergencies only Front Sight Post Front Sight only Front Sight Rear Sight

  7. E. Reflexive Firing Techniques 1. From the Halt a. Front b. Right Turn c. Left Turn d. Turn About 2. Walk, Stop and Shoot

  8. F. Target Discrimination 1. Targets -E-type silhouettes with bowling pin painted on targets with incapacitation zones and lethal zone of different colors, This is used to train soldiers to avoid shooting civilians and friendly personnel. 2. Range Layout (See slide 10) 3. Conduct of Training (See slides) Torso Lethal Zone is 18"x8". Neck/Head Incapacitation Zone 4"x8" 

  9. Training Strategy 1. Range Layouts 2. Ammunition Requirements Recommended semi-annual live fire Qualification, both reflexive firing and target discrimination. STRAC standards will include 100 rds (semi-annual) 5.56mm per Infantryman beginning in FY 2002 for SRM Qualification 3. MOUT Training Plan 4. Familiarization with FM 23-9

  16. SRM Terms High Ready Position The butt of the weapon is held under the armpit, with the barrel pointed slightly up so that the top of the front sight post is just below the line of sight but still within the gunner’s peripheral vision. The non-firing hand grasps the hand guards toward the front sling swivel, the trigger finger is outside of the trigger well, and the thumb of the firing hand is on the selector lever. To engage a target from the high ready, the gunner pushes the weapon forward as if to bayonet the target and brings the butt stock firmly against the shoulder as it slides up the body. This technique is best suited for the lineup outside of a building, room, or bunker entrance. (Figure C-1). Low Ready Position The butt of the weapon is placed firmly in the pocket of the shoulder with the barrel pointed down at a 45-degree angle. The non-firing hand grasps the hand guards toward the front sling swivel, the trigger finger is outside of the trigger well, and the thumb of the firing hand is on the selector lever. To engage a target from the low ready, the gunner brings the weapon up until the proper sight picture is achieved. This technique is best suited for movement inside of buildings. (Figure C-2).

  17. SRM Terms Lethal Shot Placement The lethal zone of the target is center mass between the waist and the chest. Shots in this area maximize the hydrostatic shock of the round. (Figure C-3) Due to the nature of Short Range combat, soldiers must continue to engage targets until they go down.  Incapacitating Shot Placement The only shot placement that guarantees immediate and total incapacitation is one roughly centered in the face, below the middle of the forehead and the upper lip, and from the eyes in. Shot to the side of the head should be centered between the crown of the skull and the middle of the ear opening, from the center of the cheekbones to the middle of the occipital lobe. (Figure C-4) Trigger Manipulation Short Range combat engagements are usually quick, violent, and deadly. Due to the reduced reaction time, imperfect sight picture, and requirement to effectively place rounds into threat targets, soldiers must fire multiple rounds during each engagement to survive. Multiple shots may be fired either through the use of a controlled pair or automatic weapons fire.
