Front 325

What are the proper procedures for performing immediate action on the M2 .50 Cal?

Back 325

If machine gun fails to fire, take the following action:
1. Wait 5 seconds; a hang fire may be causing the misfire. In the next 5 seconds, pull the bolt to the rear (check for
ejection and feeding of belt), release it, re-lay on the target, and attempt to fire. If the bolt-latch release and trigger
are depressed at the same time, the bolt goes forward and the weapon should fire automatically.
2. If the gun again fails to fire, wait another 5 seconds, pull the bolt to the rear (engage with the bolt latch if
applicable), and return the retract ing slide handle to its forward position. Open the cover and remove the belted
ammunition. Inspect the gun to determine the cause of stoppage.
A hang fire or cook off can cause injury to personnel or damage to the weapon. To avoid these, the gunner must take
the following precautions:
1. Always keep the round locked in the chamber the first 5 seconds after a misfire occurs. This prevents an explosion
outside of the gun in event of a hang fire.
2. If the barrel is hot, the round must be extracted within the next 5 seconds to prevent a cook off. When more than
150 rounds have been fired in a 2-minute period, the barrel is hot enough to produce a cook off.
3. If the barrel is hot and the round cannot be extracted within the 10 seconds, it must remain locked in the chamber
for at least 5 minutes, to guard against a cook off.
4. Keep the gun cover closed during the waiting periods.

the bolt face. If the bolt is forward, lock it to the rear
3. Take the ammunition from the feed tray by reaching beneath the feed tray and pressing the primary and secondary
positioning pawls. While pressing the position pawls, slide the linked rounds out of the MK 19 through the feed
throat.
4. Insert a section of the cleaning rod or bayonet through either side of the receiver rail. Place it on top of the live
round or cartridge case, as close to the bolt face as possible, and push down. This action forces the round out of
the MK 19.
5. Lower and pull both charger handles to the rear.
6. Inspect the chamber and bolt face to ensure that no live rounds are in the weapon.
7. Place the safety switch on F (FIRE) (Figure 2-6).
8. Maintain rearward pressure on the charging handle, press the trigger and ease the bolt forward.
9. Place the safety switch on S (SAFE).
In a Non-Firing Situation:
1. Place the safety switch on S (SAFE) (Figure 2-6).
2. Open the top cover assembly.
