You tell your Soldiers in order to determine wind drift they must first know wind _______________, _________________, and ________________ to estimate the effects of wind on the shot? - Answer- velocity, direction, and value You are discussing how to safely and effectively handle weapons with your Soldiers. What distinct weapons handling measures must your Soldiers be cognitively aware of? - Answer- All of the above While teaching your Soldiers about units of angular measurement, one of your Soldiers asks you, an MOA has an angular measurement equal to what degree? - Answer- 1/60th Everything that happens to the projectile from the time the firing pin strikes the primer to the time the bullet leaves the muzzle is known as______________________. - Answer- internal ballistics
____________________. This provides the most accurate sight alignment for the shot process. - Answer- Front Sight Post You instruct your Soldier's that the __________________ is the placement of the aligned sights on the target itself, and the Soldier must maintain sight alignment throughout the positioning of the sights. - Answer- Sight Picture You tell your soldiers that the act of firing the weapon while maintaining the proper aiming and stabilization until the bullet leaves the muzzle is known as? - Answer- trigger control During marksmanship PMI, you are explaining to your Soldiers about the importance of a stable weapon during the shot process. What is essential during the shot process, whether the Soldier is stationary or moving? - Answer- Stability You are telling your Soldiers that the close combat optic (M68 CCO) offers a distinct speed advantage over iron sights in most if not all engagements. On an M68 CCO, what is the MOA adjustment per click of the elevation and windage knob? - Answer- 1/ You are discussing terms and definitions used to describe zeroing procedures ensuring your Soldiers achieve a high level of accuracy and precision. What term means the combination of sight settings and trajectory that greatly reduces or eliminates the need for precise range estimation, further eliminating sight adjustment, holdover or hold under for the most likely engagements? - Answer- battle sight zero While training your Soldiers on the characteristics of the rifle combat optic (RCO) one of your Soldiers asks you what are the disadvantages of the RCO. Of the following which is not a disadvantage of the RCO? - Answer- bullet drop compensator The most stable platform - Answer- The ground 3 phases of ballistics - Answer- Internal, External, Terminal 2 forces of gravity - Answer- Air and Resistance This is what the shooter sees behind the sights and can be illustrated by drawing a straight imaginary line from your eye through the rear and front sights out to the target, this is how you aim. - Answer- Line of Sight straight imaginary line from Muzzle to the target - Answer- Line of Bore Path that the bullet will take when it is fired from rifle - Answer- Trajectory Mechanically center front and rear sight post - Answer- Mechanical Zero
