[b]CQC[/b] ([b]Close Quarters Combat[/b]) is a system of combined combat techniques which allow rapid alternation between armed and hand-to-hand combat while engaging enemy personnel. 

In the typical CQC stance, the user holds their [[gun]] (a one handed weapon such as a [[handgun]]) with their dominant hand while supporting it with the other hand, which holds their CQC [[knife]]. By using this stance, the gun remains steady for accurate engagement of opponents outside the range of unarmed combat, while allowing a quick transition to the knife for close-work. 

In the [[metal gear solid|Metal Gear Solid universe]] it's a style of close combat techniques developed together by [[The Boss]] and [[Big Boss]] of [[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]].
