What happens when the command CEASE FIRE is given?

• A. All BB guns are grounded and checked to ensure they are not cocked
• B. Guns are allowed to remain loaded but not cocked
• C. Shooters must stand at attention
• D. The match is paused for a safety briefing

Answer: (A)

Cease fire marks an immediate safety stop, so every shooter must secure weapons right away. Grounding the BB guns means placing them on a stable surface or the ground to remove control of the weapon, ensuring no one can accidentally point or lift it. Checking that they are not cocked guarantees the firing mechanism cannot be released by any bump or movement. This combination stops danger at once and is faster and safer than leaving guns loaded or waiting for a briefing.
