This course is best understood when we clearly define what we mean by an "Urban Rifle or Carbine". In general terms we are referring to a semi-automatic rifle, fed by a box magazine that fires a medium powered rifle cartridge or handgun round. In most cases the barrel length is 18 inches or less and the aiming device used is either iron sights or a quick acquisition gunsight (ACOG, EoTech, Aimpoint). This course covers the operational aspects of this type of rifle and introduces techniques necessary for operation of the rifle under stress conditions. All exercises are done at either medium range (< 100 yards) or close range (< 25 yards).
