Course – Simmunition Training: Live Action Weapons Training

FI prepares the modern soldier or law enforcement officer for the full spectrum of combat situations, security details, and convoy-under-fire situations with our Simulated Ammunition Training exercises (SATs). Our live action scenarios have been developed by veteran members of tactical police and military squads to replicate the high-intensity of both offensive (room-entry) and defensive (under-assault) circumstances.

FI Modified Weaponry allow the Simulated Action Training (SAT) student to gain practical experience with a wide range of weapons from handgun to assault rifles and grenades. The modified weapons contain Flexible Baton (bean bag), Target Marking (paint ball) rounds, A.G.D. “Automag”, and pneumatically actuated ammunition loading, and electro-pneumatic modifications.

Simulated Action Training exercises are an essential component of advanced training techniques and invaluable to the development of instantaneous combat-ready reactions to maximize the response effectiveness of a soldier, security, or peace officer in any situation, foreign or domestic. FI training exercises pay particular attention to the developmental use of any weapon common in military ground assault or domestic law enforcement, and include but are not limited to the following types of scenario:

• Room clearing
• Close Quarter Combat (CQB)
• Suicide Bomber
• Convoy evacuation/extraction
• Man-down evacuation
• Live Fire fight
• IED

A firing range is an excellent tool for skills development, but nothing can prepare you for the intensity of real-life combat and conflict like simulated Live Action Weapons Training. The exercises developed by FI instructors are more sophisticated than basic military boot camp and police academy drills, and incorporate the most challenging variables for any applicable domestic or military combat situation.

Course – Firearms Manipulation

The emphasis of this course is to maintain a general consistency across a broad range of small arms weapons under circumstances of duress. The stress of combat combined with an injury can reduce an otherwise effective soldier’s capabilities considerably. The difference between gross motor skills and fine motor skills can be illustrated in the difference between loading a clip and squeezing off a round. If either of these capabilities is reduced during combat due to injury, the proper training can alleviate otherwise deadly consequences by employing alternative compensatory methods of either function.

For example, ambidextrous use of a carbine-oriented weapon is not a common course of instruction, but the inability to perform one-handed or off-handed loading is an all too common source of combat fatality. Remember, you’re only as good with a weapon, as you are using it in a situation of duress.

If you only use your gun at the firing range, this is not a course you need to take. It is designed for advanced combat situations, and taught by combat veterans who have encountered physical ability interference, weapons failure and situations that require alternative means of loading and discharging a wide variety of weapons. This course also increases proficiency in loading-to-discharge sequences and reduces down time with ammunition management best practices.
