They are teaching this from the online modules:

Update:
After my last post where I had given up being patient and was trying to get hold of some answers I finally received an email response from the Police saying - "your application has been accepted and you will hear from the vetting officer shortly to arrange interviews..."
Well that was outstanding, considering we had done the interviews some 4 months previously. Naturally I pointed this out. ***eye-roll moment*** I then received an email saying the application was now waiting to be audited followed by a second email a week later stating it was all approved and to expect the licence to arrive in about two weeks.
Two weeks and two days later on Monday of this week, my daughter finaly received her 5-year FAL in the mail. Time taken from woah to go - ten and a half months.
It is interesting to note that the date of expiry is approximately the date when I beleive the application was finally approved on the 21st July 2021, not back-dated to the time of the interviews or (thankfully) the original application date in September 2020. Phew!
I'm very proud to add that for our family that's finally a "full house" so to speak... my wife, son, daughter and myself all now hold licences. YESSSSSS!
Job done.
Next: Renewals for the wife and I in 2023. Better start the process in January next year.
Those commands were introduced into the NZ defence Force in the late 1980's, when we transitioned from operating the SLR and the M16, to the Steyr. The Commands were definately different in the early 1980's. "Load, make ready, fire, make safe, unload" from memory.
I think they are attempting to get commonality across Defence, Police and Civilan terminology when the handling of firearms is undertaken.
Treat every firearm as loaded.
Whats this 'state' of the firearm got to do with anything?

If you got your first license back when they lasted 10 years, will a renewed license still be good for 10 years, or are they all 5 year licenses now??
I am painfully working my way through these modules for my upcoming test, I assumed this was standard practice but clearly NOT!
It seems to me they think firearms owners are all idiots and they are now treating "us" accordingly.
Make sure the safety is on SAFE!
a firearm IS ALWAYS LOADED...it may be empty of ammunition,but its always loaded....take the bolt out and its SAFE, plenty of action types you cannot take bolt out of,break opens when closed...ARE LOADED..... if muzzle is in safe direction...no one can be harmed....
whats a safety catch????
From memory in one of the tests there is a question about what state the firearm must be in when you reach your hunting area. It's one of the first 7 or 8 questions which you can't get wrong.
