Which of the following is NOT a common technique when using an impact weapon?

The choice that is not a common technique when using an impact weapon is the impact weapon toss. In the context of using impact weapons, techniques generally focus on applying the weapon effectively for striking or defending against an assailant.

Impact weapon thrust, swing, and block are fundamental techniques that emphasize controlled and purposeful use of the weapon. A thrust involves a forward motion aimed at delivering force to a target, a swing involves a rotational movement to strike, and a block refers to using the weapon defensively to intercept an attack.

On the other hand, the action of tossing the weapon is not practical or effective in most combat or self-defense scenarios. It would involve losing control over the weapon, reducing its effectiveness and leaving the user vulnerable. Therefore, tossing an impact weapon is not recognized as a standard technique in the training of correctional or probation officers.
