Which technique is NOT recommended for crossing an obstacle with a firearm?

  1. Unloading the firearm first

  2. Handing the firearm to a companion

  3. Using a rope to pull the firearm across after you

  4. Jumping across with the firearm in your hands

The correct answer is: Jumping across with the firearm in your hands

When crossing an obstacle with a firearm, it is essential to prioritize safety to prevent accidents. Jumping across with the firearm in your hands is not recommended because it increases the risk of the firearm being dropped or discharged accidentally. This can lead to injuries or damage to property. It is much safer to unload the firearm first, hand it to a companion, or use a rope to pull the firearm across after you to ensure safe passage without compromising anyone's safety.
