Week 3 Firearms Quiz

The correct answer is "Disassembly Lever". The circle identifies the disassembly lever component. The disassembly lever is a part of a firearm that allows the user to disassemble or field-strip the weapon for cleaning or maintenance purposes. It is usually located on the side or bottom of the firearm and is used to release the slide or remove the barrel.

The correct answer is the Mag release (ambidextrous). The question asks which component is identified by the circle, and the circle is pointing to the Mag release (ambidextrous) option. This suggests that the Mag release (ambidextrous) is the component being referred to in the question.

The correct answer is "If you take a handgun from a subject, stick it in your belt to safely secure until assistance is available." This is not a general safety precaution for handling firearms in the field because sticking a handgun in your belt is not a secure or safe way to handle a firearm. It can easily fall out or be accessed by someone else, leading to potential accidents or misuse of the weapon. It is important to follow proper protocols for securing firearms, such as using a holster or a secure storage method.

The arrows in the given question identify the named component called "Front and Back Straps."

The question is asking for the ammunition that is not authorized for VA Police. The correct answer is "Wolf Polyformance" because it is not listed as an authorized ammunition for VA Police. The other options, Federal Premium HST, Remington Arms Golden Saber, and Speer LE Gold Dot, are authorized ammunitions for VA Police.

The safety mechanisms mentioned in the question, such as the magazine disconnect, firing pin block, trigger weight, and loaded chamber indicator, are all features associated with the Beretta 92D. These mechanisms are designed to enhance the overall safety of the firearm by preventing accidental discharges and providing indicators for the status of the firearm.

The officers involved in a shooting have several responsibilities, including securing the scene, determining the physical condition of any injured person, and rendering first aid when necessary. However, the answer option "immediately make firearm safe and secure, unloading firearm and holstering an empty weapon" is not one of their responsibilities.

The correct answer is "Frame". In the given image, the circle is identifying the component that is labeled as "Frame".

The correct answer is the first option: Center mass focusing on the front sights, blurry rear sight, blurry target, front sight crystal clear. This demonstrates proper sight picture because it emphasizes the importance of focusing on the front sight while keeping the target and rear sight slightly blurry. By keeping the front sight crystal clear, the shooter can ensure proper alignment and accuracy while still having a general awareness of the target and surroundings.

The statement "Treat every weapon as if it's unloaded" is indeed one of the Four fundamental safety rules. This rule emphasizes the importance of always handling firearms with caution and assuming they are loaded, even if you believe them to be unloaded. By treating every weapon as if it's loaded, you minimize the risk of accidental discharge and ensure that proper safety protocols are followed at all times.

The Sig Sauer 239 is not authorized for VA Uniformed Police.

The statement that is incorrect regarding the basic maintenance and documentation policy for duty firearms is "The recoil spring must be changed every year or 1,000 rounds." The correct statement is "The recoil spring must be changed every 3 years or 5,000 rounds."

The VA Police Duty holster has three safety features.

The correct answer is that the supervisor will immediately report the facts and circumstances of the shooting incident to the Director or Assistant Director of the facility. This is not a post officer involved shooting reporting requirement because it does not involve reporting to the appropriate law enforcement authorities or agencies, such as the Chief of Police, OS&LE, and the LETC.

All VA Police Authorized firearms are Double Action Only (DAO). This means that the firearm can only be fired in double action mode, where pulling the trigger both cocks and releases the hammer, without the option to manually cock the hammer for a single action shot. This ensures consistent trigger pull and reduces the risk of accidental discharges. Additionally, the firearms meet SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute) standards, which ensures their safety and reliability.

The correct answer is the one that follows a logical sequence of steps for loading procedures in the armory. It begins with ensuring the muzzle is in the clearing barrel and keeping the finger off the trigger for safety. Then, it proceeds to lock the slide to the rear and visually and physically inspect it. After that, the magazine is inserted and the floorplate is tugged on to ensure it is secure. The slide is then released and the weapon status is checked. Finally, the weapon is holstered, safety devices are engaged, and the VA Form 0867c is annotated. This sequence ensures proper safety and handling of the weapon.

All VA Authorized Firearms barrel rifling have a RH Twist, approximately 1 in 10 twist rate, and 6 Lands & Grooves. The only specification that is not included is an approximate 1 in 12 twist rate.

The correct steps and order of the Secondary Immediate Action are Rip, Work, Tap, Rack, Assess. This means that the first step is to rip the charging handle to the rear to ensure the weapon is fully charged. The second step is to work the bolt catch to release the bolt forward. The third step is to tap the forward assist to ensure the bolt is fully seated. The fourth step is to rack the charging handle to the rear and release it to chamber a new round. Finally, the last step is to assess the situation and determine if further action is needed.

When the slide begins to return forward, it pushes the next round from the magazine into the chamber of the firearm. This process is known as feeding.

The correct answer is Firing, Unlocking, Extracting, Ejecting, Feeding, Chambering, and Locking. This sequence represents the cycle of operation in a firearm. Firing refers to the ignition of the cartridge, unlocking involves releasing the bolt or slide, extracting involves removing the spent casing from the chamber, ejecting is the process of expelling the empty casing, feeding refers to loading a new round into the chamber, chambering is the act of moving the round into the firing position, and locking involves securing the bolt or slide in place for firing.

The correct answer is "Firing Pin Disconnect." Integrated safety features are designed to enhance the safety of a firearm. A consistent, weighted trigger mechanism ensures that the trigger requires deliberate and intentional pressure to fire. A magazine disconnect/safety prevents the firearm from firing when the magazine is removed. A firing pin block prevents the firing pin from striking the primer unless the trigger is pulled. However, a firing pin disconnect is not an integrated safety feature commonly found in firearms.

If rounds are between the 3:30 - 5:00 clock face, it may be indicative of hitting the "Lobster area." This suggests that the shooter is consistently missing the target slightly to the right (between 3:30 and 5:00 on the clock face). The term "Lobster area" is likely a colloquial term used to describe this specific area of missed shots.

The correct answer is Deputy Assistant Secretary (DAS), OS&LE. This is because the question is asking who will be notified in matters relating to possible police officer misconduct. Among the options given, the Deputy Assistant Secretary (DAS), OS&LE is the most relevant authority to be notified in such cases. The Internal Affairs Division and FBI may also be notified, but they are not specifically mentioned in the options. The Deputy Assistant Director VA Administration and Director of Facility are not directly involved in handling police officer misconduct cases.

In this context, the correct answer is "Double Action (DA)". The explanation for this answer is that a double action trigger can both cock and release the hammer, or it can release the hammer after it has been cocked by some other means. This means that the trigger performs two actions in one: cocking the hammer and releasing it. This is different from a single action trigger, which only releases the hammer, and from double action only and enhanced double action only triggers, which do not have the capability to cock the hammer.

The arrow indicates the component of a magazine called the follower. The follower is a part that moves up and down inside the magazine, pushing the ammunition towards the feeding lips. It helps to ensure smooth and reliable feeding of the ammunition into the firearm's chamber.

If the rounds are between the 8:30 - 9:30 clock face position of the target during the process of "calling the shot," it suggests that the shooter's trigger finger is placed too far onto the trigger. This means that the shooter's finger is not properly aligned and is exerting excessive pressure on the trigger, causing the shots to deviate in that specific direction. This error can be corrected by adjusting the placement of the trigger finger to ensure a more controlled and consistent trigger pull.

The correct answer is 1. Point Downrange, 2. Remove Magazine, 3. Lock slide to rear, 4. Visually and physically inspect magazine well and chamber. This sequence ensures proper safety procedures are followed when handling a firearm. Pointing the firearm downrange ensures that it is directed away from anyone in a safe direction. Removing the magazine and locking the slide to the rear ensure that the firearm is unloaded. Finally, visually and physically inspecting the magazine well and chamber confirms that there are no rounds present.

The proper follow through in shooting does not involve immediately releasing the trigger after pressing it smoothly to the rear. Instead, after pressing the trigger, the shooter should maintain sight alignment and not adjust their grip or finger placement during trigger reset. The answer suggests that immediately releasing the trigger is not part of proper follow through.

Internal nomenclature refers to the components that are located inside a firearm. The magazine well is not considered an internal component as it is the opening where the magazine is inserted into the firearm. The slide, frame, and barrel, on the other hand, are all internal components that play crucial roles in the operation and functionality of the firearm.

The correct order of the Cycle of Operation is as follows: Firing, Unlocking, Extracting, Ejecting, Feeding, Chambering, Locking. This sequence represents the steps involved in the operation of a firearm. First, the firing pin strikes the primer, causing the round to ignite and propel the bullet out of the barrel. Then, the unlocking mechanism disengages the barrel from the slide or frame. Next, the extracting mechanism removes the spent casing from the chamber. The ejecting mechanism then throws the casing out of the firearm. After that, the feeding mechanism loads a new round into the chamber. Finally, the locking mechanism secures the barrel back into place, preparing the firearm for the next shot.

The principle of firing is not a principle of weapon management because weapon management focuses on the safe and effective handling of a weapon, including its storage, transportation, and maintenance. Firing, on the other hand, refers to the act of discharging a weapon, which is not directly related to the management of the weapon itself.
