It’s kind of funny to see it happen, but it’s a waste of time and ammo.
And if the bottom of the magazine is slapped when the bolt is locked open, sometimes rounds are actually launched into the air through the open ejection port. It also does not confirm that the magazine is locked in place. Slapping the bottom of the magazine does not always fully seat and lock the magazine into the magazine well. It can actually make a malfunction worse. It is a bad procedure and is not used by those who are highly trained in manipulation of the AR-15. Those with military experience shooting the M16 or M4 are probably familiar with the clearing technique using the acronym SPORTS which stands for Slap, Pull, Observe, Release, Tap, Squeeze. And also, often just dropping the magazine, and then pulling the CH back, will allow the rounds to drop down due to the force of gravity. I was always taught to remove the source of ammo first, because doing so could prevent further issues, such as the bolt slipping forward and trying to drive an additional round into the mix. The difference being the first method requires you to remove the mag before locking the bolt to the rear, and the second method has you locking the bolt to the rear first. So I was taught back in the day that, say, if you have a stoppage, and see a double feed in the ejection port, you would perform the following steps:ģ) Attempt to lock the bolt to the rear/hold it to the rear.Ĥ) Try to shake free, prod the cartridges loose until they fall out the ejection port or magazine well.īut recently, I was informed that this is incorrect, and the proper procedure is to:Ģ) Attempt to lock the bolt open/hold it to the rear.ģ) Attempt to shake/prod the obstructions freeĤ) If necessary, remove magazine to help the rounds fall loose, until you can clear the rifle. The post Perform Immediate Action to Get Your Jammed AR-15 Back in the Fight appeared first on Tactical Life Gun Magazine: Gun News and Gun Reviews.So I was having a debate recently regarding proper conduct of remedial action. When Immediate Action doesn’t clear the stoppage, Marines move on to Remedial Action, a more investigative process that identifies the problem at hand. Incorporate an Immediate Action Drill into your training session to ensure you can immediately fix your problem under duress. Then in a safe, controlled setting, fire at a target until the dummy round gives you the dreaded “click.” You’ll be forced to perform Immediate Action to get the rifle back running again. Better still, blindly place dummy rounds somewhere within your magazine, mixed with live rounds. You can practice Immediate Action during dry fire sessions at home. Often replaced with “Target” in civilian circles, because safety is paramount, the final step assumes seating the mag and clearing the jammed round fixes the problem. The key is to pull it fully to the rear, then release and allow the bolt to return home under spring tension.įinally, during Bang, the shooter sights in and attempts to fire. The goal here is to effectively re-seat the mag, a common cause of stoppages.ĭuring Rack, the shooter pulls back on the charging handle. Step one is Tap, where the shooter takes the offhand and firmly strikes the bottom of the magazine. In Marine Corps parlance, Immediate Action is executed by performing Tap, Rack, Bang. This is all about getting that rifle back into the fight, immediately. Immediate Action is defined as “the unhesitating response to clear a stoppage without investigating the cause.
The remedy to this occurrence, which will absolutely happen to every rifleman at some point, requires performing Immediate Action. But in a defensive, duty or combat situation, a stoppage can be fatal. The unintentional interruption of this cycle of operation results in a stoppage. The cycle of operation includes feeding, chambering, locking, firing, unlocking, extracting, ejecting and cocking. These same steps apply to the civilian-legal AR-15 as well. Marine Corps defines eight separate steps during the cycle of operations of the M16 service rifle. VIDEO: Comedian Bill Burr Watches Green Beret Training and It’s Hilarious
