After the first firearms training, Jimmy and the others will take a special course to judge shooting exercises.
"Hi, I'm Senior Special Agent Ann. Today we're going to do a judgment shooting drill. Before we start, you need to know what the deadly force policy is.
1. The target possesses a weapon or attempts to obtain a weapon, and intends to use the weapon to attack agents or others.
2. The target is armed and flees for cover.
3. The target has the ability and intent to cause death or serious bodily injury without lethal weapons, or otherwise incapacitate the agent.
4. The target attempts to escape from the conflict while causing or attempting to cause death or serious bodily harm.
In today's training, you have to make split-second decisions, and a wrong choice could cost an innocent life or your life. "
Yes, FBI agents do not shoot at targets at will like in the movies. They have shooting guidelines. In most cases, they draw their guns and point them at the targets to deter them. Only under certain circumstances, FBI agents will shoot. Gun stops target.
This is the judgmental shooting training that Jimmy and the others are doing now. Through many simulated scenarios, students will simulate and judge whether they should draw their guns to deter them and whether they should shoot to stop them.
However, Jimmy has no special feelings about these deadly force policies, because since he was transferred to the county police support team, Jimmy has often encountered situations where he needed to draw his gun, and he has fired a lot of times. Compared with other trainees, Jimmy has Judging the performance in shooting training was excellent.
By the way, in addition to live ammunition shooting at the shooting range, during other firearms training or awareness training, they all use simulated guns painted in other colors, such as orange or blue.
As the course progressed, Jimmy and the others also began to add dark environment training, police light flashing environment training, etc. to the live-fire training, all in order to familiarize the students with the scenes they may encounter in the future as soon as possible, so as not to fail in actual work. Drop the chain.
Similarly, for Jimmy, his results in training in these scenes are also very good. The flashing police lights are the environment where Jimmy is on duty every day. As for training in dark environments, his intentions are not fake. When others are still adapting to the darkness, , Jimmy can already clearly judge the shape and location of the target.
After studying for a period of time, firearms training included stress test projects, post-exercise shooting training, etc., and later rifle training was added. Relatively speaking, Glock pistol training was the most frequent training they had.
For Jimmy, using Glock for a long time made him miss his gun very much. In order not to make himself unfamiliar with revolvers, Jimmy applied to the counselor to use the shooting range during breaks. After approval, Jimmy was finally able to shoot himself from the dormitory. The Smith & Wesson came out 86-1.
Jimmy took 86-1 and a box of .357 Magnum bullets and went to the shooting range after class. Because the course for the day had ended, no one else was present at the shooting range except the administrator.
Jimmy loaded the revolver one by one, then grabbed a handful of bullets in his left hand, aimed at target 1 and fired. This head target is a steel plate that falls over after hitting it. After all shots are fired, he can pull the rope next to it. The targets are all restored.
….
There are 10 head targets in front of Jimmy in a row, which is a bit annoying. You can't finish one round, and there are two more bullets in two rounds. After one round, Jimmy still needs to unload and reload, and he still has to put it back when it's over. Unfired bullets were retrieved from the pile of shell casings.
Jimmy gave up after one round. Although one target was more suitable for practicing accuracy, it was too troublesome. He switched to the chest target next to him, reloaded, and began to practice shooting at his own frequency. In fact, it was more Practice reloading, because after a long time, it is easy to become dexterous, and you need to restore the feel.
Jimmy's shooting frequency is very different from ordinary people. For a revolver, the interval between two rounds of emptying the magazine is only 2 seconds. If you only listen to the sound, other people will be very confused as to what kind of gun the person inside is practicing.
Jimmy was so focused on recovering his hand that he didn't even notice that there were several people standing behind him.
"What's his name?" One of the onlookers looked at Jimmy and said something.
The range manager next to him picked up the registration form in his hand and said, "Jimmy Young, from Arkansas. More information needs to be checked in the file."
"I know, I'll check it out, keep reading."
Jimmy played a few rounds and was completely relaxed. The hand feels good. Although he hasn't used the revolver for a while, it seems that the feel is still there. It seems that in the future, he just needs to get familiar with it every once in a while. There is no need to worry all the time. You will lose the feel of the revolver yourself.
Jimmy began to pick up the bullet casings he dropped on the table and the ground. These needed to be collected and then handed over to the range administrator for unified disposal.
He put the remaining bullets back into the magazine and the shell casings in a bag, put the gun back into the holster on his belt, and turned around to go back.
When Jimmy turned around, he was suddenly frightened. Because he was practicing shooting indoors, Jimmy was wearing sound-isolating headphones, and he didn't even notice when someone came from behind.
"Good evening, gentlemen, what's the matter? Or am I disturbing you?"
"No, we are just passing by, nothing happens, you can go."
Jimmy nodded to several people and walked towards the exit of the shooting range. Watching Jimmy leave, several people came to Jimmy's chest target.
The chest target is actually a target paper sandwiched on a shelf above, and is not fixed with wooden boards or steel plates. Looking at Jimmy's target paper now, most of the bullets land on the left chest near the heart, and a few of them are on the target paper. The top neck position.
"I took his target paper away, don't tell anyone." The person who spoke before reached out and took Jimmy's target paper off the clip, folded it, held it in his hand, and left the shooting range.
Jimmy didn't know that someone had noticed him. He had a good time and felt refreshed. After returning to the dormitory, he first took a shower to clean up the smell of gunpowder from his body, then sat on the bedside and sat down from there. He picked up a box on the bedside table and opened it to reveal his honorary police badge.
Jimmy wiped the police badge, then turned the box over and poured out the sponge pad wrapped in red cloth under the police badge, revealing the gold coins underneath. After checking that everything was OK, Jimmy pressed the sponge pad in place again and closed the box. Good to put back on the table.
This is the gold coin that Jimmy brought before. Because this time he came to the FBI Academy, even if they did a security inspection, they probably wouldn't open Jimmy's things, so they kept it like this and brought it over directly in his backpack. I won’t be using it for now, but I’ll be prepared for emergencies.
