He referred to the soldiers as CQB experienced, which stands for Close Quarters Battle (many say close quarters combat). So he was referencing that they needed to learn long distance shooting skills which didn't directly relate to their previous CQB skills. His lesson on transitioning from a pistol grip to a rifle grip was a good example. Match grade ammo, like match grade barrels, etc. simply means that the projectiles are designed with tight tolerances to produce better precision.
Quick question: The Sniper Instructor, shortly after his intro in the classroom, uses the term CQB for something that he is going to do. I'm not military, and I'd like to know what the term means. I'm also curious what exactly the difference in Match Grade Ammo is. Thanks!
