About this film

"An instructor at Camp Hood, Texas, lectures to and demonstrates for a class on quick firing. He shows firing positions and techniques for quickly firing a pistol, tommy gun, rifle, and light machine gun. Emphasizes the need for quick reflexes in firing at surprise targets at close range or with poor visibility. The class briefly practices the techniques."
