and the second target will not be engaged until the first has been hit
or three rounds fired at it. Similarly the third target will not be
engaged until the second has been hit or three rounds fired.
No man will fire without a separate fire order from the patrol
leader. After firing, each man will ease springs, and the patrol leader
will satisfy himself that there are no live rounds in breech or maga-
zine. Reserve ammunition will be available at the firing point to
replace misfires, and a time allowance for misfires will be made by
the F.P.O. If a bolt is frozen up or a rifle so damaged as to be
incapable of being fired, a serviceable rifle may be borrowed from
another member of the patrol at the discretion of the F.P.O., and a
two-minute penalty incurred.
