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

What are the proper procedures to clear a MK19?
In a Firing Situation:
1. Move the safety switch to S (SAFE).
2. Open the top cover assembly. If all the ammunition has NOT been fired, the bolt is to the rear and a round is on
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.
3. Lower one or both charger handles.
4. Pull the charger handle slightly to the rear.
5. Allow sufficient space between the face of the bolt and the chamber to see both.
6. Check for live ammunition.
7. Ride the bolt forward.
8. Return the charger handle to its original upright position.

What are the proper procedures for performing immediate action on the MK19?
During peace time and training:
1. The gunner ensures the safety of other personnel and clears the weapon of ammunition by performing the
following steps in sequence:
Clear the area of personnel.
Pull bolt to the rear. If the bolt does not go to the rear, go to BOLT JAMMED.
Catch the live round as it is ejected.
Push the charging handles forward and up.
Put the gun on S (SAFE) and check for any bore obstructions.
If bore is clear, move safety switch from the S (SAFE) to the F (FIRE) position, and attempt to fire.
If nothing happens, put gun on S (SAFE) and wait 10 seconds.
Pull the bolt to the rear.
Catch the live round as it is ejected.
Open the top cover and clear the ammunition.
Check bore for any obstructions.
2. Charge the MK 19 in the normal manner and check to see the primary pawls have clicked up behind the cartridge
in front of the bolt face and that the secondary pawls have clicked up behind the next round before firing. The feed
pawls should click up within the 1-inch of charging handle travel.
3. If the primary and secondary pawls do not click up within the last 1-inch of charging travel,follow these
procedures:
Turn the MK 19 into unit level maintenance.
Record ammo lot number, type of ammo, number of rounds fired, serial number of the MK 19 and indicate
whether ammo is linked with one-piece or two-piece links.
During Combat:
1. Press charger handle locks and rotate charger handles down.
2. Pull charger handles to the rear until the bolt sears.
3. Push charger handles forward and rotate charger handles up and lock.
4. Relay and fire.
5. Turn in live rounds that cycled through the weapon as instructed by current directives.
