Immediate and remedial action for the M203 grenade launcher
|
Immediate action - Keep weapon trained on the target, shout MISFIRE, clear unnecessary people from the area and attempt to remove round. Wait 30 seconds from the time of failure before opening the breech. Catch the ejected round or reduce the distance of its free fall to the ground. Exercise extreme caution. Determine whether the round or the firing mechanism is defective. Examine the primer to see if it has been dented. If not, the firing mechanism is at fault. Reload and attempt to fire after the cause or the failure to fire has been corrected. If the primer has been dented, separate the round from other ammunition until it can be properly disposed of.
Remedial action - take to armory. |

What are the two most common types of malfunctions of the M249?
|
Sluggish operation - gun fires very slowly due to excessive friction or loss of gas. Move regulator setting to the number two or three position. Clean, inspect and lube the gun.
Run away gun - gun continues to fire after you release the trigger, Keep pointed down range and let weapon fire off remaining rounds or break the belt of ammunition by twisting. |
|
|
What is a stoppage?
|
An interruption in the cycle of operation caused by faulty gun or ammunition.
|
|
|
Hang Fire
|
Occurs when the cartridge primer has detonated after being struck by the firing pin but some problem with the propellant powder causes it to burn too slowly and this delays the firing of the projectile. Time (5 seconds) is allotted for this malfunction before investigating a stoppage further because of injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
|
|
|
Cook off
|
Occurs when the heat of the barrel is high enough to cause the propellant powder inside the round to ignite even though the primer has not been struck. Immediate action is completed in a total of ten (10) seconds to ensure that the round is extracted prior to the heat of the barrel effecting it. When the round fails to extract/eject, further action is delayed (15 minutes) if the barrel is hot because the gunner must assume that a round is still in the chamber and could cook off at any time prior to the barrel cooling off.
Procedures. Wait 5 seconds after the misfire to guard against a hang fire. Within the next 5 seconds (to guard against a cook off). |
