When the command CEASE FIRE is given, what should the competitor do?

• A. When the command CEASE FIRE is given, the competitor should just keep shooting.
• B. When the command CEASE FIRE is given, the competitor should stop shooting.
• C. It means reloading.
• D. It means resume after 5 seconds.

Answer: (B)

CEASE FIRE means stop firing immediately. The moment you hear it, you should take your finger off the trigger, bring the weapon under control, and point it in a safe direction while you wait for further instructions. This keeps everyone safe and prevents accidental discharge during a moment when shots must not be fired. The idea is to halt all muzzle activity right away, not to reload or to resume after a delay, and not to keep shooting.
