It is difficult to imagine a 21-century soldier without a firearm, therefore individual and team shooting drills using variety of firearms takes up a large part of the training.

Every individual soldier needs to know how to handle several firearms and also how to concentrate and focus on the target. This increases likelihood of survival when facing the enemy. Solders are also taught accuracy, speed, equanimity, self-confidence, lateral thinking as well as self-protection and survival skills.
