Thread: Load-Action-Instant

Where does this terminology come from ?

It's used on the Safe Firearms Handling Page of the NZ Police web site.

It looks like the way I think, getting away from the SMLE based idea of :
"Don't rely on a safety catch" (and of course the half open bolt).
Now Safety Catches are OK. (depending on your rifle)

However, it does make any rifle with rounds in the mag "loaded" which would be a change in mindset for us. I's always thought of it as "unloaded".
