The Starbase 118 Marines Contingent doesn’t like to think it is sending Marines out without learning the basics of the weapon they are carrying. As such, there is a complex program to help the Marines excel at their weapons training. The range itself is made from a composite Duranium alloy, which is routinely tested for stability and structural damage; however, it can take heavy fire. | |||
Usually, phaser practice is a range between the different types of phaser and prototype weaponry developed by the Specialists. The score is kept count by the computer and is collected by the player shooting at various red markers flying out of the darkness. The aim is to shoot as many as possible in a time limit without compromising their safety. A round in comprised of fifteen minutes worth of shooting, calculating hits and misses to an overall percentage. | |||
Each Marine is submitted for monthly testing of accuracy and marksmanship. The levels needed for each department is different; for instance, the Infantry are required to have a basic level of weapons knowledge comprising of maintenance and proper service whereas the Sniper must know every inch of the rifle. | |||
