What is concealment?

• A. Anything that defeats a round
• B. A piece of armor
• C. Anything that will hide you but will not defeat a round
• D. A barrier with holes

Answer: (C)

Concealment is hiding you from view without stopping bullets. It’s about preventing the opponent from seeing you, not providing any physical protection. You can conceal yourself behind a bush, in darkness, or behind a curtain—situations where your presence is hidden, but a bullet could still reach you because the concealment doesn’t defeat or block the round.

This is different from scenarios that involve protection from fire. If something defeats a round, that’s cover or ballistic protection—such as armor or a solid barrier that can stop or deflect bullets. A barrier with holes isn’t reliable concealment or protection, since it can still reveal your position and may not stop rounds.
