What is the first step in the firing sequence?

  1. Pulling the trigger

  2. Aiming

  3. Identifying the target

  4. Squeezing the trigger

The correct answer is: Pulling the trigger

The correct answer is pulling the trigger because it is the first physical action in the firing sequence.

Aiming and squeezing the trigger occur after pulling the trigger in the firing sequence.
