My Senior Chief said “you weapon is dirtier than your AS# after a meal of refry bean and cheap beer”, then he ask me to take it apart and clean it. Now I can’t find the bolt and I think I swallowed one of the pins!

Dave thank you for your answer.

For my PQS I lost that book in my last camp out in the rain. I spill my bug juice on it and my fellow ship mate thought it was a skunk and shot it! It was a bad day.

As for my weapon qualification, Oh I never say I shoot an expert. I Just pass as my senior would say “by the skin of a dead fish’s teeth”. I didn’t shot my Senior Chief and he was satisfied with that. Next month it will be my M-240. Yaaaa!

As for Captain’s mass, I can’t seem to find it and they didn’t want me bad enough to come and get me. Something about personnel shortage so jaro is confuse about that.

And yes I am very much a embarrassment to my country but they still want me go to the middle east. Isn’t that silly hee hehe. I hear it will be fun so I will see you there next year!

Thank you for the reply dave and simper fi.

I'll tell you what, fixing your broke a$$ weapons is my job in the army, Get a missing parts statement from your unit Armor, fill out a 2404, get your armor to open a job order with your unit's armament shop, we then take a look at the weapon, verify the fault, order the new parts, even that pesky little pin that's gonna stab you in the pooper in a couple of days, then when the parts come in, bring the weapon back and we will put it all back together for you. But you know, that weapon is your life line, why would you let it get that dirty, what if you needed it in a fire fight. Dirty weapons don't fire all that well you know. A clean weapon will save your life, a dirty one just might cost it, or someone elses.

Loading the weapon is performed by pulling the charging handle to the rear, locking the bolt to the rear, placing the weapon on safe and then pushing the charging handle forwards. The feed tray cover is then lifted and rounds are laid inside the feed tray. The feed tray cover is then closed and the weapon is ready for operation.

Clearing the weapon is performed by ensuring the bolt is locked to the rear and the weapon is on safe. The feed tray cover is then lifted, the remaining belt (if any) is swept out of the feed tray, the feed tray is lifted to visually inspect the rear of the barrel and the face of the bolt. Any links or brass casings are removed. The weapon is now clear. In the unlikely event that a live round is on the bolt face, it is knocked loose with a cleaning rod or another rigid object. If there is a live round lodged in the barrel, the operator must immediately decide if the barrel is hot enough that there is a chance of it cooking off. If there is, he will immediately move his face away from the opening of the weapon. He should then wait for the barrel to cool off before attempting to remove it. In many cases, attempting to remove the barrel will cause the round to detonate as soon as the barrel is unlocked from the receiver. He can also attempt to extract the round by taking the weapon off of safe, pulling the trigger and pulling back on the charging handle. This has a fair chance of causing the weapon to fire, so care should be made in ensuring that the weapon is pointed in a safe direction first.

The rate of fire may be controlled by three different settings. The first setting allows the weapon to cycle at 750 round/min. The two remaining settings increase the rate of fire by 100 round/min per setting — second setting being 850 round/min and third setting, 950 round/min). These settings are changed by dismounting the barrel, removing the gas regulator collar and turning the gas regulator to allow more or less gas to move through the weapon system. It is generally performed before missions, as changing the setting is distracting at best under field or combat conditions.

The barrels can be exchanged rapidly, thanks to a barrel release button located on the left side of the weapon. The weapon is cleared first and then the button is held down, while the barrel's carrying handle is moved from the right side of the weapon to the center, unlocking it from the receiver. At this point, the button is released and the barrel is then pulled free of the receiver and placed to the side. The new barrel is inserted into the receiver and then the carrying handle is shifted to the right, locking it into place.

During prolonged firing, care must be taken to not allow exposed skin to come in contact with the weapon. The barrels can become hot enough to inflict second degree burns instantly without becoming visibly different. However, such barrels glow brightly to anyone using any sort of night-vision device.

#1. if you have a senior chief, I'd guess Navy or Coasty
#2. How did you get a PQS sign on that particular weapon system without showing the GMs the ability to disassemble and reassemble and give a list of parts and nomenclature?
#3. you must have removed the pin on the operating rod that held that huge bolt on there.
#4 you should be worried not only for the loss of wages due to a captains mast, but if deployed; your life because of an unserviceable weapon system.
#5 you are an embarrassment to your country.
