Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. At what average range do most CQB engagements occur?

Answer: Less than 5 meters

Most police engagements that occur during typical duty occur from 5-7 meters... but these generally happen outdoors. CQB engagements by their very nature tend to occur indoors, where an expected range of 2 to 4 meters (around 6 to 12 feet) is typical, although sometimes the range can close to physical contact distances. Very rarely will you be able to measure a CQB engagement range at more than 15 feet (roughly 5 meters).
2. As you approach an open doorway or portal in a CQB environment, what tactic is used to cover the doorway and see what is beyond, while keeping in motion?

Answer: Slicing the pie

So named because your field of view should cut the area beyond the doorway into sequential wedges, shaped like pie slices, this is a well-used tactic to prevent operators from being surprised while moving past or through doorways.
3. In general, there are two speeds at which CQB entries are made. They are referred to as "Stealth" and "_____". Fill in the blank.

Answer: Dynamic

A stealth entry, as the name suggests, is done slowly and cautiously, with a minimum of noise to prevent potential hostiles from learning of the entry team's presence. Dynamic entries are fast, furious and loud, designed to startle and disorient any hostiles before they can mount an effective defense.
4. Which of the following weapons is LEAST likely to be carried by a police entry team?

Answer: G3 assault rifle

The H&K G3 fires a heavy, 7.62mm bullet, which is more likely to overpenetrate structural material and cause undesired danger to bystanders. The M4's 5.56mm bullet also has the potential to overpenetrate, but is much less (and generally seen as acceptable) when compared to the 7.62mm.

The G3 is also the longest weapon of the group (by far), making it more unwieldy in the tight spaces frequently encountered in a CQB environment.
5. Preparing for an operation, your team lines up just outside the door and waits for the order to make entry. What is this formation called?

Answer: Stack

The column formation of tightly-packed operators, preparing to make entry, is known as a "stack". Forming up like this is known as "stacking up".
6. Entry teams, usually requiring speed and decisive action, generally do not wear body armor, as it tends to slow them down.

Answer: False

This one should have been easy for you. Only if they have a death wish do they NOT wear armor. CQB entries are among the most dangerous situations an operator can face, particularly if there are known, armed hostiles inside. The probability that an operator on a CQB entry will be shot is very high... almost ALL entry teams wear some form of body armor.
7. Your team has just performed a rapid entry into a room, and after a brief frenzy of activity, there are no more active hostiles. What one-word phrase should you now communicate to your team?

Answer: clear

It is important to communicate to your team that the immediate threat is over. Typically, you will signify this by yelling "Clear!" When every man in the room echoes that call, all members of the element can be sure there is no more immediate threat.
8. Your team is about to breach a door and make entry into a room. The lead man prepares a hand grenade, specifically an M84. What warning will he issue to the team before rolling it into the room?

Answer: "Banger out!"

An M84 is a flashbang grenade, a device designed to stun anyone in the room with a loud noise and dazzling flashes of light. The lead man will warn the element that he is about to toss a flashbang so that they will know not to look in the direction of the grenade. Other suitable warnings that will get the message across are "Eyes and ears!", "Look away!" and "Flash out!"
9. Due to the Geneva and Hague Conventions, police SWAT teams performing CQB entries are prohibited from using hollowpoint bullets, since they are deemed to cause "unnecessarily grievous" wounds.

Answer: False

The Geneva and Hague Conventions apply only to members of a nation's military when engaged in warfare with another country. They do not apply to law enforcement personnel. Furthermore, many police SWAT teams use hollowpoint bullets specifically because there is a reduced risk of overpenetration and collateral civilian damage from misses.
10. "Sweeping" your teammate is a preferred tactic for maintaining multiple points of cover.

Answer: False

"Sweeping" a member of your team means that you allowed the muzzle of your weapon to sweep over some portion of his body. This is VERY bad... if for some reason your weapon happened to discharge at that moment (accidental twitch of the trigger finger, for example), you'd end up shooting your partner. One of the most important things in CQB is muzzle discipline... you never let your weapon point at something you aren't willing to shoot.
