When should PMI be conducted?

Explanation:
PMI is a safety and readiness check performed on the equipment before it is used in live-fire training. It ensures the weapon is clean, free of obstructions, properly lubricated, and capable of safe operation, including the ability to cycle and safe handling features. Doing this before any live fire catches potential problems now, reducing the risk of malfunctions or injuries during the exercise. Waiting until after firing (or during cooldown) could allow a fault to affect performance or create a safety incident, and delaying PMI beyond the pre-fire step isn’t aligned with standard safety practice. By checking equipment upfront, you protect everyone involved and keep the training on a safe, reliable footing.
