The Oscar Pistorius trial has heard from a firearm specialist who testified the athlete had good knowledge of the rules on gun use and dealing with intruders.
Mr Pistorius said one could discharge a firearm if one feared for one's life.
Mr Pistorius denies murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp last year, saying he mistook her for an intruder.
The prosecution says he intentionally shot Ms Steenkamp after an argument at his house on Valentine's Day 2013.
