Does the Army Reserve shoot live ammunition?
Of Course! On a regular basis. To fire you must complete your TOET (Test of Elementary Training) on each weapon that you fire. This is to show you are competent with the weapons and safe with them. The Battalion go to the firing range out of Dublin to shoot on a weekend. For example firing the Steyr AUG includes a night shoot with the infrared night vision scope. You fire at stationary and at moving targets. You will find basic information on some of these weapons on the Small Arms and Support Weapons page.
