,EXAM QUESTIONS 1
QUESTION 1
A Class K instructor is conducting a range qualification for Class G applicants when a
student experiences a failure to fire after pulling the trigger. The student immediately looks
down the barrel to check for an obstruction. What should the instructor do first?
A) Allow the student to continue since they are checking for safety
B) Verbally correct the student and reinforce the rule about never looking down the barrel
C) Document the incident after the range session is complete
D) Send the student home immediately without further instruction
Correct Answer: B
The instructor must provide immediate corrective feedback to prevent unsafe behavior,
reinforcing that looking down the barrel violates firearm safety rules and requires immediate
verbal correction to maintain safety.
QUESTION 2
During a live-fire exercise, you hear a "pop" sound that is noticeably quieter than the
previous shots, and the student's firearm fails to cycle properly. What is the most appropriate
immediate action?
A) Command the student to continue firing to clear the obstruction
B) Call a cease-fire and have the student unload, show clear, and inspect the barrel for a
possible squib load
C) Instruct the student to tap-rack-bang to clear the malfunction
D) Ignore the incident as it is likely a normal ammunition variation
Correct Answer: B
A quiet report with failure to cycle indicates a potential squib load where the bullet is lodged
in the barrel; firing again could cause catastrophic failure and injury, requiring immediate
cease-fire and barrel inspection.
