In this final preparatory session, the instructor presents the "Basic Malfunction Drill" — a fundamental exercise for developing reflexive malfunction-clearing skills. You'll learn why action always beats reaction and how this concept plays a crucial role in real-world engagements. The drill is designed so that malfunctions occur unpredictably, revealing the true level of your automated response. The instructor breaks down the "tap–rack–bang" method and emphasizes the importance of a follow-up shot after clearing a malfunction. You'll also gain insights on how to train subconscious actions for rapid control recovery, how to use dummy rounds effectively, and how to evaluate your accuracy during the exercise.
