What is time to rate
0.15 sec the time from when the gun receives the signal to start until mechanical actions begin to start
What is time to stop
0.12 sec the time from when the gun receives the signal to stop until mechanical actions begin to stop
What two types of internal finishes does the ribbed barrel have
Nitride and chrome
What internal finishing is required for the enhanced gun
Chrome
What are the features of the enhanced receiver
Larger breech assembly, longer recoil, triple spring drive clutch and a BIT ready gun drive motor
What are the features of the enhanced feeder
Quick detachable link covers and a BIT ready feed select solenoid
What are the components of the forward feed section
Forward feed assembly, Upper feed sprocket assembly, lower feed sprocket assembly, round positioner assembly, feeder assembly rotor, ejection chute
What strips HE rounds from the links and places them in the feeder assembly
Lower feed sprocket assembly
What is the purpose of the round positioner assembly
Guides and positions the rounds during transfer from the sprocket assembly to the feeder assembly rotor
Sub assemblies of the receiver assembly
Barrel support assembly, Recoil Mechanism, Breech assembly, Sear, Sear catch assembly, Sear retractor assembly, mechanical interlock, Direct Current motor, Handle Pin, Electrical Sear solenoid, Riveted Reciever
What are the components of the electrical system
1.0 Horse Power 24 VDC motor, Sear solenoid, electrical feed select solenoid and index drive cable assembly
The interlock crank, Rocker assembly, and Sear Pushrod, are components of what
Mechanical Interlock
What is the peak recoil force of the M242

As the bolt completes the ram cycle what happens
The cam indent reaches the roller on the breech lock sensor arm
List the steps in the cycle of operation in order
Sear, Feed, Ram, Lock, Fire, Unlock, Extract, Eject
The 2 ring spring set is part of what component
Recoil Mechanism
In a malfunctioning weapon how much of the gun stopping power does the Sear assemble provide
100%
What is the primary function of Sear
To positively position the roller assembly chain master link at the end of the firing burst, thereby orienting the gun components for feed selection
What occurs during feed dwell
The master link slider moves from left to right in the carrier slider path during the feeder assembly rotor will rotate 1/3 of a revolution during this rotation the rotor will sweep the spent case off the bolt face positioning a new round on the bolt face the firing pin is not cocked and the BPI arrow is rotating through feed/ do not remove feeder
How much overlap is there to prevent a new round from being fed into the breech
12.7mm normally 2.5 in the event of a failed cartridge ridge
For the M242 to continue to function, normal gun functioning must occur within what amount of time
30 miliseconds
In a malfunctioning weapon the Sear assembly provides 100% of the guns stopping power by stopping what
The Roller assembly chain safety link
As the bolt assembly continues forward for the last 14.2mm of travel what happens
The firing pin spring is compressed
What is the last measurement of movement of the firing pin as the firing pin spring is compressed
14.2mm
When is the bolt at its most rearward position
Feed dwell
How far rearward is the bolt from Sear when it is in feed dwell
25mm
