missfire procedures for SMAW
“missfire missfire missfire!” wait 15 while holding the trigger down, after 15 seconds, place the weapon on safe, recharge, A gunner clear back blast, attempt to fire click “missfire missfire missfire!” wait 15 seconds while holding the trigger down, place the weapon on safe, A gunner will remove the rocket clean the prongs on the rocket and the SMAW spin the rocket 180 degrees and load the rocket, A gunner clear back blast, attempt to fire, click “MISSFIRE MISSFIRE MISSFIRE!” wait 15 seconds while holding the trigger, after that 15 seconds place the weapon on safe, A gunner will remove the rocket and bring it to another SMAW gunner if another SMAW fires the rocket there is something wrong with your SMAW, if the rocket doesn’t fire there is something wrong with the rocket and it will be brought to the dud pit.
M240B missfire procedures
click “MISSFIRE MISSFIRE MISSFIRE! 54321” (you wait 5 seconds to guard against a hang fire, a hang fire is when the round goes off shortly after the primer has been struck due to slow burning propellant) rack the bolt to the rear (rack the bolt to the rear to guests against a cook off, a cook off is when the heat off the barrel is so hot it ignites the propellant in the round) observe for feeding and ejecting if feeding and ejecting occurs sight in and attempt to fire, if feeding and ejecting does not occur move into PAD (place weapon on safe, assume there is a live round in the chamber, determine if the barrel is hot or cold) four ways of determining if the barrel is hot or cold is any billet higher than the gunner deems it hot, long continuous burst, 200 round or more in 2 minutes or less, or 15 minutes since last deemed hot, if the barrel is hot wait 15 minutes or until the barrel is cool then move into cold barrel procedures. clear the weapon out… (cont)
