Performing the first test firing exercise with an AK-74, AK-74M assault rifle.

When performing a shooting exercise, classes (training) are organized at training sites:

1. Studying the requirements for implementing control systems from AK-74, AK-74M.
2. Communicating the requirements for safety measures. The order of positioning and aiming.
3. The procedure for assembling and disassembling AK-74, AK-74M.

When performing shooting exercises, soldiers and sergeants with field equipment (bag with magazines, gas mask, flask).

When performing a shooting exercise, officers and warrant officers must wear field uniforms and have a bag with magazines and a bag with hand grenades (if throwing hand grenades is planned).

Units arrive at the shooting range no later than 30 minutes before the start of shooting. This time is used to organize classes at training sites, check the operation of the mixing equipment and inspect the targets, and check communications with the shooting director.

Communication between the shooting director at the site and those firing from combat and other vehicles is carried out via radio; In the absence of radio communication, shooting is prohibited.

Before the start of shooting, the leader of the training (commander of the firing unit) informs the topic, purpose and order of the training, indicates on the ground the starting position, the boundaries of opening and stopping fire, the main and dangerous directions of shooting and checks the students’ significance of the conditions of the exercise being performed and safety measures during shooting.

When performing shooting exercises, the following order is observed: the platoon commander orders the commander of the firing squad to assign a combat mission to the trainees and receive and receive ammunition for the next shift of shooters at the ammunition supply point. Ammunition is issued to trainees individually according to a list or in stocked magazines. If necessary, ammunition can be dispensed by the ammunition dispenser in the original position. Trainees, having received ammunition, inspect them, load magazines with cartridges, put magazines in bags and, under the guidance of the squad commander (shift leader), proceed to their starting position.

Upon arrival of the shift at the starting position, the firing supervisor at the site clarifies to each shooter the procedure for performing the exercise (firing position, place and position for shooting, firing sector, direction of movement, order of firing of trainees, etc.).

Having made sure that the shift and the area are ready for shooting, the leader orders the red flag to be accepted at the local control point (open the red semicircles of the Armed Forces) and reports the readiness for shooting to the senior shooting leader.

When all areas are ready for firing, the senior firing supervisor orders the red flag to be raised at the command post and gives the order to give the signal “Listen, everyone.”

At this signal and at the command of the fire director “Forward to the indicated positions,” the trainees take up firing positions in accordance with the assigned task. Having made sure that the trainees are ready at the sites and that shooting is safe, the senior shooting director gives the order to give the “Fire” signal.

After the “ Fire ” signal, at the command of the firing supervisor at the “For battle” section, the trainee prepares to fire and reports: “ So-and-so is ready for battle ” - and at the command of the supervisor, they load the weapon. After the report on readiness for combat, the trainees, acting in accordance with the received task, observing in the specified sector of fire, independently detect and hit targets from the shooting positions provided for by the conditions of the exercise.

At the end of the exercise, the trainees load the weapon, the shooting director at the site inspects it, returns the shift to its original position, gives the order to replace the red flag at the local control point with a white one and hears a report from each trainee on his actions during the exercise, on observing the results of the shooting, on ammunition consumption, weapon malfunctions and delays.

Approximate form of the report: “ Comrade Senior Lieutenant, Private Sychev performed a test firing exercise from a machine gun; when firing, I observed: the machine gun was hit, the attacking infantry group was not hit, the cartridges were completely used up (not completely, there were so many cartridges left), there were no delays during shooting (there were such and such delays).”

After hearing the trainees' reports and making a brief review of the exercise, the shooting director orders them to hand over unspent ammunition to the ammunition supply point or ammunition distributor (if appointed) and proceed to the next training place. Then reports to the senior shooting supervisor about the end of the shooting shift.

After the shift returns to its original position (when white flags are displayed at all precinct control points), the senior shooting director gives the order to raise a white flag at the command post, give the “All clear” signal and, if necessary, inspect the targets (the shooting results are entered in the list, and the end of the firing of the entire unit - in the Firing Log).

During shooting exercises, the shooting director must be on site: on foot during the day - no closer than 15 m from the shooters, at night - no closer than 5 m.

When performing exercises from the spot, the shooting director at the site pre-plans 2-3 firing positions in each firing direction beyond the opening line of fire to a depth of 100 m. The movement of shooters to firing positions is carried out at the command of the firing leader, for example: “Firing position there - forward (to battle).”

The display of targets begins 10-20 seconds after the firing position is taken by the shooters. Fire stops and the weapon discharges upon the command " Cease fire, unload " given after the last target display time has elapsed.

Each subsequent target is displayed, as a rule, after the end of the display of the previous target. Options for displaying targets and firing positions (when performing standing shooting exercises) for each shift of trainees are determined by the shooting supervisor at the site or the inspector.

When shooting at night, the following additions are made to their organization and conduct:

When shooting at night without night sights, illumination and imitation of fire from targets (targets) is carried out in one of the possible ways. In this case, it is permitted to use self-luminous attachments on the sighting devices of weapons;

• when illuminating targets with lighting cartridges, at least 3 shooters are assigned per shift; illumination cartridges are released based on the illumination of targets throughout the entire time of their display (movement).
