Maybe some poo poo in the liquid. Like, if you use water with acid in it for example. Should be lamp oil or similar for machine parts. I had an M2 give me the blues once, extractor arm was a lovely Turkish cast that cracked  Had one spare for the remaining five days of ex. Maybe a ghetto tempering would've been the trick.Oh yeah and that one time - but this was the turret's fault - one of them emptied 100 rounds of Raufoss ammo at a 45 degree angle because the solenoid actuating the side trigger got stuck and the gun fired immediately when loaded    I wonder where all those went.

Booblord Zagats posted:The M27 is the HK416, it's just our military designation for it instead of the name HK gave it. And the idea behind it replacing the SAW is that it's lighter and easier to maintain while still providing respectable accuracy and rate of fire. Honestly I was a POG so it really doesn't matter what my opinon is, but my small amount of experience loving around with the 249 was just dealing with a heavy gun that wasn't the easiest thing to work on in the armory and they never let our guys use it with anything other than a STANAG in it it anyhow, so it was a pretty pointless thing. I rock a bipod on my 416, mostly so I can scratch my balls or apply dip while securing a passageway during house drill, but I've occasionally put it to use as a kind of LMG with the 3x magnifier on it. Works like a charm. The 416 is loving heavy to begin with - about as heavy as the shrimp trawler anchor G3 it replaced - so it's natural it can take a fair amount of heat. Also the reason why specops said "gently caress lol no" when asked if they wanted to trade in their C8's, which feel like plastic mockups in comparison. Still loving dumb to act like it's a true machine gun, tho'.

evil_bunnY posted:IDGI, isn't the 416 just an m4 with a gas piston? A C8 is like 100g lighter than a short 416. 16.5" barrel so it's more like 700g which is a lot for something you carry all the time. The C is indeed vastly more light and handy. Mike-o posted:Don't they also make their lower receivers from steel instead of aluminum? lol hell no. I think the German sniper variant in 7.62 has a steel upper (begging the question "why the gently caress?").

chitoryu12 posted:Shamelessly stealing from Steeltalon in the Gun Videos thread, an out of battery cookoff is a bad thing: How the gently caress did this happen? The MG3 bolt strips off a fresh cartridge as it slams forward, the chamber stays empty otherwise. Must've been a malfunction.

That looks like what's happening. Shooter is all "WTF?" there for a moment so he hands it over. Not that it should be really necessary, misfire drill is just to rack the bolt again, or you get the dreaded Wedding Bouquet. Or, in this case, a face full of brass.

I've only shot the Eryx wire-guided missile, but if it's anything similar, poo poo gets harder when there's a great deal of target movement involved. Simulator work helps a ton.

Stumbling Block posted:I heard that it's got a horrible black blast that'd mess you up if you fired it from an enclosed space though. Much more so than most other shoulder fired rockets. See that foxhole?  We dug that up with ~20 rounds prone. Hard packed gravel and rock sand. It'll kill you stone dead on shorter ranges and mess you up bad a good way back. The loader's primary job is to keep looking back and shout "all clear" every few seconds and not the least bark for the gunner to hold fire if some dipshit's flawed life path aimlessly meanders into the triangle of death.

Slim Pickens posted:Rangers(and the rest of SOF, probably) have a rule that you can only shoot something like 5 during training and 10 in combat. Didn't stop goose teams from shooting way more than that and then being all hosed up the next day and a half from all the overpressure. The first time I was a gunner on one of these in the late 90s we were told the same thing. Then I got it back 13 years later and we shot this in three sessions over 24 hours, between eight cannons with gunners and loaders switching midway:  Did have a mighty bitching headache the last night, though. Might've been too little to drink for all I know.

We strap the CG to pack frames with the loader for each cannon usually carrying four grenades with additional carrying coming from the rest of the support squad. Don't skip cardio days, guys at least in the wintertime we load them into pulkkas and pull them through the snow.
