Below are photos of International Police Supply (IPS)
providing Foreign Weapons Familiarization training to 250 US Marines at
Quantico Marine Corps Base in Iraq/Afghanistan Area Foreign Weapons as
part of their Pre-Deployment training.
 
IPS provided hands on instruction and firing
familiarization in the AK47, SKS, PKM, RPD and RPK machineguns. The
training was overwhelmingly well received and we received top marks from
the USMC.
 
Comments from the USMC DD Form 1556 on the training:
"Course was outstanding. Every Marine trained commented on how
motivating the training was. The instructors were very professional and
understood our need for thorough training on the subject....The course
provided enough instruction and ammo to ensure every Marine was
familiarized with all of the indigenous weapons.
 |
Additionally the USMC commented that "...they had every
weapon we will be fighting against in numbers and the instructors were
very knowledgeable in every system. They were very flexible with us
during our workup planning and went above and beyond many times." |
International Police Supply (IPS) can provide your
Department, Agency or Military Unit with demonstrations of current
semi-automatic, automatic and suppressed firearms at your Range, or at our
range in the Northern Virginia area.
We can provide additional training for your Department's specialized units
- SWAT, HRT, CLET, Gang Unit, Police Academy Classes, etc. One of our most
popular demonstrations is our "Global Automatic Weapons Familiarization
Briefing". In this informal course held on your Department's range,
IPS will bring a large sampling of Automatic and Suppressed weapons from
around the world, spanning the major wars of the 20/21st Century.
After a static display and explanation of the merits and weaknesses of
each weapon, a sampling of the weapons are brought downrange and the
Department's members are invited to fire the weapons in order to become
familiar with the loading, unloading, making safe, and capabilities of the
weapons systems demonstrated. The actual weapons fired can be
selected to provide training in weapons systems deemed most educationally
beneficial to the students. This training allows the Officers to
learn the capabilities of weapons that they ordinarily do not get to see
during their "normal" training and learn how to safely unload weapons that
they may encounter during their duties.
These training blocks make an otherwise mundane range training day a more
exciting and educational experience for all involved. Timing of the
training can be used to "break up" the days Departmental training to keep
students fresh and interested throughout the day.
Some weapons/course available for training include the following:
Threat Area Weapons -
Available firearms include: SKS, AK47, Krinkov, RPK, RPD, PKM and Dragunov Sniper Rifle. This is a
2 day fast paced and intensive course and includes both classroom and

and 'teach' what they have learned to their troops. This course can
be watered down to a 1 day basic familiarization course for pre-deploying
units or agencies to provide a basic "Fam-Fire" on Threat Area Weapons.
This course is customizable per individual unit requirements to focus more
time and rounds fired on specific weapons in the series.
