That's why the military is usually not applicable in terms of firearms training. We're not really taught to identify multiple types of firearms in order to determine their "Classification" or anything along the lines of what CBSA might do.

The one thing I learned that supports this is that when crossing a fence or stream of water, it is mandatory to cross it while firearms are unloaded and PROVE'd safe. Probably not applicable for military positions where I'd rather be killed by my own team from their carelessness/accidental discharge than the enemy when I could have defended myself with a weapon that SHOULD be loaded.
We had a few military guys there question the other techniques, like pulling the trigger to see if there is a round left in the chamber after it has been emptied or something. Things that you would do at a military range but not a civilian one.
