What is the functional element of the shot process that is the continuous process of orienting the weapon correctly, aligning the sights, aligning on the target, and the application of the appropriate lead and elevation during a target engagement? - Answer- Aiming One of your Soldiers is in the process of zeroing his M4A1 rifle equipped with a backup iron sight (BUIS). You instruct him that he has to move his front sight post UP two clicks. This adjustment will move his sight alignment down how many minuets of angle (MOA)? - Answer- 4 MOA ________________ is the point where the barrel naturally orients when the shooter's muscles are relaxed and support is achieved. - Answer- Natural point of aim What is the continuous mental and physical application of the functional elements of the shot process after the shot has been fired and is required to complete the shot process?
movement of the barrel during the arc of movement, fails to adequately support the weapon system, or fails to achieve his natural point of aim is known as? - Answer- Stabilization failure You are discussing sight alignment with your Soldiers. You tell them that the human eye can only focus clearly on one object at a time. You go on to say, in order to achieve proper and effective aim, the focus of the firer's eye needs to be on the ____________________. This provides the most accurate sight alignment for the shot process. - Answer- Front sight post To achieve a desired relationship between a line of sight and the trajectory of the round at a known distance is known as what? - Answer- Zeroing You are discussing ballistics with your Soldiers and how the profession of arms requires Soldiers to understand their weapons, how they operate, their functioning, and their employment. What category of ballistics begins from the time the firing pin strikes the primer to the time the bullet leaves the muzzle? - Answer- Internal ballistics 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 While discussing ballistics with your Soldiers, you tell them that they must be familiar with the principles of ballistics as they are critical in understanding how the projectiles function, perform during flight, and the actions of the bullet when it strikes the intended target. What is the science of the actions of a projectile from the time it strikes an object until it comes to rest? - Answer- Terminal ballistics While discussing ballistics with your Soldiers, you tell them that they must be familiar with the principles of ballistics as they are critical in understanding how the projectiles function, perform during flight, and the actions of the bullet when it strikes the intended target. You tell them that ____________________ begin from the time the firing pin strikes the primer to the time the bullet leaves the muzzle. - Answer- Internal You are discussing the back-up iron sight (BUIS) on a M4A1 with your Soldiers and how MOA is applied to elevation and windage when making adjustments. One click of the windage knob will move the BUIS LEFT or RIGHT ________ MOA? - Answer- 3/ 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
