The US Air Force and Space Force use non-functional M4 rifles for training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland to develop mission-ready troops in realistic scenarios.
US Air Force and Space Force have reintroduced the use of non-functional M4 rifles for recruits during their basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas.
The program aims to develop mission-ready troops by incorporating practice weapons into realistic scenarios, building confidence, correcting errors, and managing stress in a controlled environment.
The inert M4s are carried throughout training, with exceptions for certain appointments or uniform-related situations.
Both trainees and instructors have reportedly provided positive feedback on the program.
