II. Shooter Position, Shouldering the Weapon and Weapon Discharge

(Fig. 38-47)

65 In order to make a good shot, the shooter should take a shooting position most suited to the

terrain. The most used shooting positions are the prone and standing positions; over a slope or

berm and in the sitting position. (Fig. 47)

The kneeling position is used as a combat position with a support.

If at all possible, the weapon should be supported if the terrain allows for it. (Fig. 42-47).

In this case, the rifle should not come in contact with a hard object (rock, wood, etc.) The rifle

should be supported as close as possible to the center of gravity. If the rifle cannot be supported,

shoot free standing.

Prone Position: The prone position is slightly angled in relationship to direction of the shot. The

soldier will fall to the ground on the left knee and left hand, rifle held in the right hand. In order to

perform this movement noiselessly, the soldier may go down on the right hand instead of the left,

and hold the rifle in the left hand. Be careful not to render the weapon inoperable by getting dirt

in the barrel or damaging the sights.

Standing Position: Grasp the rifle in the left hand and put the left foot forward. Hold the rifle

horizontally at waist height, in the direction of the shot, place the feet shoulder width apart.

66 After assuming shooting position, the shooter prepares the weapon in such a way that he can

quickly and easily bring it to his shoulder:

-Put the weapon forward, with the right index finger in the cocking ring,

-Place the weapon in fire mode,

-Grasp the stock pistol grip firmly with the index finger placed inside the trigger guard.

The rear sight is moved forward if necessary.

Generally the shooter will perform these movements without command. If command should be

required, the command is as follows: “Ready!” (Armed to shoot; lit.)

Usually, the soldiers will safe the weapon without command. If command should be required, the

command is as follows: “Safe your weapon!”

-Safe the weapon by turning the cocking ring,

-Replace the rear sight slide.

-Rest the weapon against the body.

If the shooter stays in position, he will only perform the first movement. The weapon will be

safed prior any additional movement; however, the weapon will not be safed during a change in

shooting position or while firing in combat.

67 To shoulder and fire the weapon, the shooter looks at the target, raises the rifle to shoulder height,

and points the rifle at the target. The weapon is supported in the left hand.
