Question: Scenario 40: A rifle’s bolt is difficult to open. Under PROVE, what is the appropriate approach to ensure safety before forcing it?
Answer options: ✅ Keep muzzle pointed safe, seek assistance or tools and follow manufacturer’s guidance before forcing the bolt
- Force it open immediately while pointing muzzle at others to stabilize
- Pass the rifle to someone else without checking

Correct answer: Keep muzzle pointed safe, seek assistance or tools and follow manufacturer’s guidance before forcing the bolt
Explanation: CFSC Student Handbook — PROVE.

The correct answer is "Keep muzzle pointed safe, seek assistance or tools and follow manufacturer’s guidance before forcing the bolt".
