Immediate action stoppage drills on SMLE

"Small Arms Training"
Volume 1 Pamphlet No1
Weapon Training
1942


Section 2
Drill rounds will never be used in aiming at a aiming disc held to the eye

Section Xi
Drill cartridges will not be taken on the range, except for use in stoppage practices. In this instance the drill cartridges will be taken to and from the range under the orders of the company, etc, commander

Took the opportunity to down load the entire Shoot to Live manual from the website. What a fantastic resource. This manual is by far the best discussion on how to teach someone to shoot I've ever seen. Far better than anything the US has put together to include anything by the Marines. Hats off to the authors.

Its not even slight if you are an unsupervised moron employed by Thames Valley Police. Firearms officer 'shot colleague with live ammunition kept in Quality St tin' - Telegraph

Dude broke a few of the Ten Commandments of firearms handling,,
Do not cover anything with the muzzle you do not wish to destroy.
Treat every firearm as if it is loaded at all times.

A moron indeed,,,,
