Live-fire Troubleshooting [cont]

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

If the bolt carrier group is to the rear, proceed as follows:

• Set the fire control selector to [S];

• Check to see if the magazine is empty;

• Reload;

• Operate the bolt catch;

• Re-aim; and

• Continue firing.

If the bolt carrier group is fully forward:

• Wait 30 seconds while maintaining muzzle control in a safe direction, in case of a hang fire (slow

ignition). If a round does not fire in that time, it is unlikely to. Continue the corrective action below.

DURING A HANGFIRE SCENARIO, OPENING THE ACTION IMMEDIATELY CAN LEAD

TO THE ROUND NOT BEING LOCKED IN THE CHAMBER DURING IGNITION,

POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY TO THE OPERATOR.

IF THERE IS CONCERN THAT THE BARREL MAY BE HOT ENOUGH TO INDUCE A COOK

OFF SCENARIO, WAIT 15 MINUTES WHILE MAINTAINING MUZZLE CONTROL IN A

SAFE DIRECTION BEFORE PROCEDING.
