Considerations for Injured Shooter: Rifle/Carbine

A Sanami Defense Academy Signature Course – For When Running the Gun is Non-Negotiable

Embark on a unique and critical journey with Sanami Defense Academy’s Considerations for Injured Shooter: Rifle/Carbine course. This specialized 8-hour course is built for the harsh reality that in a gunfight, nothing goes according to plan—and injuries are not just possible, they’re likely.

This isn’t about perfect technique. It’s about keeping the gun running when your body isn’t.

Whether you're dealing with a wounded arm, compromised mobility, or operating from awkward positions, this course teaches you how to maintain threat control with your rifle—even when pistol transition isn't an option.

What You’ll Learn

  • One-handed or single-limb rifle manipulations

  • Reloads using off-body and environmental supports

  • Clearing malfunctions without full mobility

  • Bolt charging with improvised leverage techniques

  • Maintaining cover, shot placement, and threat awareness under stress

  • Pinning and bracing methods for supported firing when prone, seated, or compromised

  • After-action procedures: contacts, medical priorities, and personal processing

Adapt. Overcome. Survive.

You’ll train to think and fight through injury. Learn how to utilize:

  • Ambulatory limb support: Prioritize what still works

  • Environmental assistance: Walls, gear, terrain, structure

  • Pinning techniques: Stabilize your weapon using your body or gear

  • Unorthodox positions: Low-profile fire from cover, on your back, on your side—wherever you land, you fight
