The minimum standards for the annual firearms proficiency course of fire for ______ shall be a minimum of 30 rounds of ammunition, fired at ranges from 7 to at least 10 yards, including at least one timed reload and with at least five rounds fired semi-automatic, if possible with the weapon.

• A. Handguns
• B. Precision Rifles
• C. Shotguns
• D. Fully Automatic Weapons

Answer: (D)

This item tests knowledge of how firearms proficiency requirements are tailored to weapon type, emphasizing the number of rounds, shoot-distance, reload timing, and the need to demonstrate semi-automatic firing when possible. The described course-of-fire—30 rounds, ranges of 7 to at least 10 yards, a timed reload, and at least five rounds fired in semi-automatic mode if the weapon can do so—fits weapons that can operate in automatic or select-fire modes. It reflects training for handling sustained fire and the discipline to switch to semi-automatic operation when required or available. Other weapon categories typically follow different test profiles with distinct round counts, distances, and reload considerations, not matching this exact combination. Therefore, the category that aligns with these requirements is fully automatic weapons.
