3. CONDUCT OF TRAINING BLOCK THREE a. Exercise Brief. The following items must be included in the brief given to Marines prior to the start of Training Block Three of Pistol Firing Table One: (ON SLIDE #) (ON SLIDE #3) 1) Conduct a Show Clear procedure of Marines weapons and magazines. ) Have Marines conduct a user serviceability inspection of their weapons and magazines. Coaches check Marines' equipment for proper placement and serviceability. 3) Target. Review the MPMS-1 pistol target and scoring procedures. The MPMS-1 target is a man-sized silhouette with scoring zones in the head and chest regions: a) The 'A' scoring zone extends from the center of the chest up through the head; it measures approximately 11" x 6" in the chest and 8" x 5" in the head. It is indicated by a light-colored line inside the outline of the head. b) The 'B' scoring zone follows the contours of the 'A' scoring zone and extends below it. c) The 'C' scoring zone includes the shoulders and follows the contours of the 'B' scoring zone and extends below it. d) The 'D' scoring zone extends beyond the 'C' scoring zone to the outer edge of the body and up to the outer edges of within the head. 4) Pasters. Pasters are used to cover shot holes on the target. Once the shots have been recorded, the shot holes are covered with pasters. 5) Training Intent. Review the intent of training in Table One: Table One provides the opportunity to apply basic marksmanship skills in a live fire setting emphasizing development of the following skills: weapons handling; presentation from the holster; applying the fundamentals of marksmanship; assuming the standing position and grip; applying the techniques of fire for 3
double and single action, controlled pairs, and failure to stop; performing tactical and speed reloads, and performing corrective action as necessary. Shooters are responsible for maintaining a Condition 1 weapon throughout this course of fire. If a shooter observes no rounds in the magazine when determining the condition of his weapon, it is the responsibility of the shooter to conduct a reload. 6) Failure to Stop Drills. On 7-yard Failure to Stop drills, targets will face for five seconds and shooters will fire a controlled pair. Targets will turn away and shooters will search and assess. Then targets will face again for two seconds and shooters will fire one precision head shot. (If turning targets are not available, this drill may be executed on whistle blast.) 7) Threat Assessment Drills. The 5-yard Threat Assessment drill is based on the following scenario: Shooters are posed with a threat and prepare for an imminent engagement. Targets will face and turn in rapid succession. Shooters will identify the threat and assume the Tactical Carry, take the weapon off safe, and thumbcock it. Shooters are prepared for an imminent engagement, but do not have a clean shot because the threat ducked behind cover. Targets will face again and shooters will engage the threat with a single action shot. (If turning targets are not available, this drill may be executed on the commands Identify and Targets.) 8) Review safety rules, commands, and weapons handling procedures and emphasize these procedures throughout. 9) Review procedures for performing corrective action. 10) CMC/CMT will provide immediate feedback to Marines on their performance. 11) Designate relay and target assignments. b. Table One Course of Fire for Training Block Three Dry Practice at 7 Yards. Conduct five minutes of Coaches Time dry practice at the 7-yard line prior to live fire. Work on stance, position, and grip from the Tactical Carry and the Holster. Follow this with dry practice at the 7-yard line by Tower command. 4
