How manage threat contact in CQB in according to limited penetration tactics by Project Gecko and the ITCQB system
Introduction to Limited Penetration in CQB / CQC by Project Gecko
The clock is perpetually ticking, both for the trainer imparting invaluable skills and the trainee absorbing them. Acknowledging this, the goal remains the same - optimizing input to yield remarkable outcomes within a finite window of time and resources. Our courses have been designed to provide an environment that reduce the amount of time required for acquisition, thus maximizes the transfer of knowledge with minimal dependence on optimal conditions.

WHAT RIFLES WE USE FOR FOF?
At Project Gecko, we don’t just teach —we aim to deliver training as close as possible to reality. That’s why we trust UNIT 4 Solutions training rifles in our courses.
These platforms are designed from the ground up to bring realism into force-on-force, dry-fire, and scenario-based training with limited risk and more economical prices. Whether you're a law enforcement officer, military professional, or specialized team operating in close-quarters environments, the UNIT 4 platform gives you the tools to train harder, smarter, and safer.
UNIT 4 rifles are non-lethal training platforms that replicate the size, weight, recoil, and manipulation of real firearms. But their value isn’t just in how they feel—it’s in how they integrate into a modern, performance-driven training environment.
Realistic ergonomics and weapon handling
Accepts standard optics, lights, lasers, and accessories
Compatible with most real-world slings, stocks, and attachments
Real steel parts
Moving bolt, bolt catch release, recoil…
Non-lethal impact marking rounds in different colors, none color or air-only versions available
Allows for realistic point-blank engagements in force-on-force
Safely introduces stress inoculation, movement under fire, and decision-making in close quarters
UNIT 4 rifles are standard in the following training formats:
Force-on-Force (FOF) Validation Drills
Better marking of hits in comparison to UTM / FX
Realistic Weapon Handling Under Pressure
These platforms allow us to push students to their limits—without risking lives. They help close the gap between theory and real-world execution.
UNIT 4 Solutions training rifles are not gimmicks. They are a critical part of modern tactical instruction, allowing us to replicate realistic combat dynamics without introducing live fire.
For students, it means:
Higher engagement
Better retention
Sharper decision-making under pressure
For instructors, it means:
Clearer feedback loops
Safe scalability of training complexity
Greater control over instructional variables
All participants in our ITCQB programs will work extensively with the UNIT 4 platform during scenario-based blocks. If you're attending one of our Force-on-Force courses, expect to see these tools in your hands.
Train like it's real—because it should be.
