Abstract: The subject of the study is the method of using paintball and airsoft weapons in the rifle (fire) training of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
The purpose of the study is to develop and scientifically substantiate shooting exercises using paintball and airsoft weapons to increase the fire readiness of students of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
The study revealed the problem of increasing the level of fire preparedness of graduates of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, which can be solved by using paintball and airsoft weapons in the rifle (fire) training of students. This will increase and improve their skills and high-speed shooting skills, taking into account the real conditions for the use of weapons by employees of the RF Department of Internal Affairs.
A special contribution of the authors to the study of the topic is the development of shooting exercises and methodological methods for their implementation, since the existing exercises of the Shooting Course do not fully meet the real conditions for the use of weapons by employees of the RF Department of Internal Affairs.
The scientific novelty lies in the development and scientific justification of the methodology for the use of paintball and airsoft weapons in the training process of fire training of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
The practical significance lies in the fact that the developed shooting exercises using paintball and airsoft weapons will bring the tasks of the educational process closer to the real conditions for the use of weapons by employees of the RF Department of Internal Affairs,
choose the appropriate means and methods of training, as well as the amount of physical and mental exertion.
The results of the study can be used in the training process of fire training of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

Abstract: The research subject is the evaluation technique of the firearms qualification of a postgraduate of educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The purpose of the research is to develop and scientifically prove the model of firearms qualification of the postgraduates of educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The research helps detect the problem of postgraduates’ skills improvement, which could be solved by means of evaluating the firearms qualification of students based on the model characteristics, which would increase the motivation to improve the firearms skills. The authors’ contribution is the development of a model of firearms qualification of postgraduates based on the qualification characteristics of tactical, technical and psychological qualification, since the current evaluation system doesn’t fully comply with the real conditions of using firearms by internal affairs officers. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the development of a model of firearms qualification of postgraduates based on the qualification characteristics of tactical and technical and psychological qualification. The practical importance of the research consists in the fact that the firearms qualification model will allow defining the specific tasks of the educational process and finding the relevant means and methods of training, as well as the size of exercise and mental load. The research results can be used during the firearms training process in educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
