APPENDIX A

COMBAT PISTOL QUALIFICATION COURSE

A -1. COURSE INFORMATION

The CPQC may be used for both the pistol andrevolver (for use with revolvers see Appendix C).It requires the soldier to engage single andmultiple targets at various ranges uSIng thefundamentals of quick fire. If the CPQC is notavailable, training may still be sustained andqualification achieved by using the APQC or ARQC.

NOTE: For a picture of the CPQC, see FM 25-7.

a.

b. For each table of the CPQC, the firer is affordedextra rounds to reengage targets that are missed.During the course, 30 targets are exposed to thefirer. However, 40 rounas of ammunition areissued with which to engage the exposed targets.A soldier who can reengage a target with an extraround during the exposure time is just aseffective as one who hits the target with oneround. The firer is not penalize a for using ornot using the extra ammunition. All excessammunition is turned in after the completion ofeach table and may not be used during subsequenttables.

c. Two magazine changes are required when firing theCPQC. For safety purposes, one magazine containsone round of ammunition and is loaded first. Atarget appears in front of the firer, and heengages it. Eight seconds later, another targetappears. Dunng the eight-second delay, the firermust reload the weapon and be prepared to engagethe next exposed target. There are no commandsfrom range personnel or coaches for the. magazinechange. If the firer fails to reload his pistolin time to engage the next target, it is scored asa miss. This exercise teaches the soldier toquickly and safely change his magazine by instinctunder pressure.

A-I

NOTE: When using the M9 pistol, the firer fires thefirst round in the double-action mode for alltables.

d. The range to exposed targets does not exceed 31meters from the firer. Target exposure times areas follows:

(1) Tables I, II, and III:

(a) Single targets - - - - - three seconds.

(b) Multiple targets - - - - five seconds.

(2) Tables IV and V:

(a) Single targets - - - - - two seconds.

(b) Multiple targets - - - - four seconds.

A-2. FIRING THE CPQC

NOTE: The target sequence is decided by the toweroperators but is the same for ill lanes. Thisprevents firers from getting ahead of firers inadjoining lanes. Target sequence will vary indistance from the firer, starting with 31meters and allowing no more than two 7-metertargets.

Qualification tables are as follows:a.

NOTE: Tower controls all reloading for revolvers.

(1) Table I: One magazine with seven rounds, and fivetargets exposed. The standing position is assumedat 1he firing line with the weapon held at theready pqsitio~. Oply single targets are expos.edto the fIrer In thIS table. Target sequence ISdecided by the tower operator.

(2) Tab 1e I I: One magazine with one round, onemagazine with seven rounds, and six targetsexposed. The firer assumes the same position onthe firing line as in Table 1. There are foursingle targets and one set of multiple targetsexposed to the firer.

(a) The magazine with one round is loaded into theweapon-- one target is then exposed to the firer.

A-2

(b) After firing the pistol, the firer must changemagazines at once. Three seconds after the targetappears, the target is lowered if not hit.

(c) Eight seconds later, another target appears.Agaip., the. firer m!lst. engage thIS ~arget in therequued hme, or It IS scored a mISS.

(3) Tab 1e II I: One magazine with seven rounds isloaded. Five targefs are exposedufired followingrotation to another firing point. The firerassumes the same position on the firing line as inTables I and II. Three single targets and one setof multiple targets are exposed to the firer.Target sequence is usually single, multiple,multiple, single, and multiple.

(4) Table IV: One magazine with five rounds isloaded. Four targets are exposed starting withthe same position used in the previous tables.Two single targets a~d one set of multiple targetsare exposed to the fuer.

(5) Table V: One magazine with one round, onemagazine with seven rounds, one magazine with fiverounds, and ten targets exposed. The firer begins10 meters behind tlie firing line in the middle ofthe trail.

(a) The magazine containing one round is loaded intothe pistol. The firer places the magazinecontaining seven rounds in his magazine Rouchwhere it is closest to the firing nand. Themagazine containing five rounds is placed in themagazine pouch farthest from the firing hand.

(b) When the firer reaches the firing line, a singletarget is exposed for two seconds, then lowered ifnor hit. There is an eight-second delay to allowthe firer to change magazines. The seven-roundmagazine should be loaded at this time.

(c) At the end of eight seconds, another single targetis exposed to the firer. Again, should the firernot have loaded his second magazine in time toengage this target, it is scored a miss.

(d) When the tower operator is sure that the firingline has comRleted the magazine change, he givesthe command, MOVE OUT. Ire exposes two sets ofmultiple targets at various ranges from the firer.

A-3

(e) After exposure of two sets of multiple targets,the pistol is reloaded with the five-roundmagazine. The command, MOVE OUT, is given; and theremaining targets are presented to tlie firer insequence. After the last targets are hit orlowered, the weapon is clearea.

(f) The firer, holding the weapon in the raised pistolposition with the slide to the rear, returns tothe starting point and places the weapon on thestand. Excess ammunition is turned in to theammunition point. The next order moves to thefiring line.

b. The same course is fired for night qualification.It is based on a GO INO-GO scoring system: 5target hits equal a GO; 10 seconds are allowed foreach round.

c. The same course is fired for NBC qualification.It is based on a GO INO-GO scoring-system: 7target hits equal a GO; 10 seconds are allowed foreach round.

NOTE: Night and NBC qualification is required lAW DAPam 350-38.

APPENDIX C

REVOLVER QUALIFICATION COURSE

C-1. COURSE INFORMATION

The CPQC is used for both pistols and revolvers.This appendix outlines its use with revolvers only(for use with pistols see Appendix A). The CPQCr~quires the soldier .to engage single and multiplehmed targets at vanous ranges uSIng thefundamenfals of quick fire. If a CPQC is notavailable, training and qualification may beconducted using tRe standard 25-meter range andthe ARQC (see Appendix D).

NOTE: For range design and layout of the CPQC, see FM25-7.

a

b. For each table of the RQC, the firer is affordedextra rounds to reengage targets that are missed.During the course 30 targets are presented to thefi r e r; however, the firer is given 40 rounds toengage these targets. A firer who cansuccessfully reengage the target with a secondround dunng the exposure time is just aseffective as a firer who hits the target with thefirst round. The firer is not penalized for usingor not using the extra rounds he is allocated.All excess ammunition is turned in at the end ofeach table and is not used for subsequent tables.

All reloads will be controlled by the toweroperator. If the firer fails to engage a targetwithin the timed exposure, that target is scoredas a miss. This teaches him to quickly apply thefundamentals of pistol marksmanship under stress.

The range to exposed targets does not exceed 31meters from the firer. Target exposure times areas follows

c.

d.

(1) Tables I, II, and III:

(a) Single targets three seconds.

C-1

(b) Multiple targetsuu-five seconds.

(2) Tables IV and V:

(a) Single targetsuu-two seconds

(b) Multiple targetsuu-four seconds.

C-2. FIRING THE RQC

NOTE: Target sequence is decided by the toweroperator, Dut is the same for all lanes toprevent firers from getting in front of otherlirers in adjoining fanes Targets will varyin distance to the firers, starting at 31meters and allowing no more than two 7-metertargets.

a. Qualification tables are as follows:
