Can someone tell me what weapons training a first year NROTC student is required to master? It seems as if they must know something about an m16A and a M1Garand rifle, but does that include assembling, firing, etc. or do they just need to know the major components of the weapons? Also, what kind of weapon do the students qualify with when it comes to shooting? Do all units require weapons qual. or does each unit do something a little different? Finally, is it possible for a new student with NO weapons training to still learn how to shoot well enough to join the pistol team, for instance; or are those teams made up of experienced shooters? (Sorry for any incorrect terminology).
Thanks
