Remove the magazine, cycle the slide twice, pull the trigger in a safe direction, and holster the weapon.

Question 3

Under Australian state firearms legislation, how must Category H handguns and ammunition be stored in a security depot when not in use?

Loaded in their duty holsters inside a locked wooden desk drawer to ensure quick access. In a locked cabinet, provided the depot has a monitored alarm system and external CCTV. Unloaded inside a single steel safe, with loaded magazines stored alongside the handguns for ease of loading. In an approved steel container or safe of specified thickness, unloaded, with ammunition stored in a separate locked compartment.

Correct Answer:

In an approved steel container or safe of specified thickness, unloaded, with ammunition stored in a separate locked compartment.

Question 4

What is the difference between a 'misfire' and a 'hangfire', and what action must a guard take during a hangfire?

A misfire is a delayed discharge, whereas a hangfire is a failure to feed; the guard must immediately rack the slide to eject the round. A misfire is a complete failure to fire, whereas a hangfire is a delayed discharge; the guard must keep the muzzle pointed downrange for at least 30 seconds before clearing. A misfire is caused by bad primer, whereas a hangfire is a double feed; the guard must strip the magazine. A misfire requires immediate disassembly, whereas a hangfire is solved by pulling the trigger a second time in double-action.

Correct Answer:

A misfire is a complete failure to fire, whereas a hangfire is a delayed discharge; the guard must keep the muzzle pointed downrange for at least 30 seconds before clearing.

Question 5

Which ammunition characteristic makes hollow-point rounds standard for cash-in-transit duty in Australia, compared to lead round nose rounds?

They expand upon impact, maximizing energy transfer and reducing the risk of over-penetration in public areas. They are cheaper to manufacture and produce less barrel fouling. They are designed to bypass body armor worn by security officers. They have a higher velocity and can easily penetrate vehicle armor plating.

Correct Answer:

They expand upon impact, maximizing energy transfer and reducing the risk of over-penetration in public areas.
