It is effective at ranges of 150 meters or less and has a maximum effective range of about 500-600 meters. Qualification requires that a Soldier hit at a minimum, 23 out of 40 targets.
Soldiers also used this training session to familiarize themselves with proper breathing techniques as well as proper stances. Three firing positions are required to qualify with the M4A1 - prone-supported, prone unsupported, and kneeling.
