Developed in the 1960's, the Quick Kill training program was designed to increase proficiency in "point" or "instinctive" shooting among American infantry. These skills are particularly useful at ranges below 50 meters, and were coming into strong demand in the jungle combat of Vietnam. The program started with air rifles (BB-guns) like these, essentially M16 mockups with no sights, shooting first at airborne discs, then a miniature version of the rifle range, before transitioning to an actual M16 or M14 with the sights taped over. Measuring 35 inches overall, the core of the "quick kill" is a Daisy lever action bb gun, fitted with a triangular handguard, plastic front sight and "carry handle", a pistol grip mounted to the action lever, and a straight buttstock, which is marked "SIXTH USA TNG DEV CEN/FT LEWIS WASH" on the left side.

Very good overall. The carry handle shows a number of scuffs, and may be a later fabrication, otherwise the device shows mild handling marks overall. Mechanically excellent.
