Firearms as blunt weapons is the practice of using a firearm as a blunt weapon, rather than the conventional role of shooting with it. Examples of this include:

"Butt stroking", striking with the butt stock of a firearm.
Pistol-whipping, striking someone with a handgun.

Use

Use of a firearm as a blunt weapon is usually seen in close quarter fighting, or when ammunition for the firearm has ran out.

New recruits of the Israel Defense Forces undergo training on the safe practice of using the M16 assault rifle as a blunt weapon, mainly so that in close quarter fighting the weapon cannot be pulled away from them. Other training includes the recruit learning how to jab parts of the body with the muzzle, and using the butt stock as a weapon.
