The guy really likes his forward assist.

The guy really likes his forward assist.

He likes it so much that he's uses it before there is a round in the chamber...

 

[Adler]

its always a good idea to jam a cartridge even harder into the chamber when there is an issue.

^^

yea - he looked like he was doing the damn river dance instead sending lead down range :lol:

 

[fatcat]

That had to be a squib load..

The ammo shitty only half the propellant burned and stuck a round in the barrel, next round boom!

Guess he also does not know to wait 20 seconds after a round does not fire..

 

[Adler]

Some people fucking scare me with how dumb that they can be. All I know is that he was lucky to get off that light. I had a case burst on me with my BRNO 98/22 Mauser and it does sure suck to get a face full of powder and debris. This is when I found some of my surplus Turk 8mm had cracked cases from the box. I know check them all before loading.

If my rifle had misfired that many times on me I'd have cleared it and pulled the bolt out to see if there was an obstruction like fatcat said. That looked more like a bad round/ cracked casing, though. Looked like he was using cheap, shitty ammo.

Man, that magazine went bye-bye!

 

[brucelee]

Hhahah, had to watch it again for the forward assist motions! lol

I hardly ever use my forward assist.

 

[The Ghoul]

Foreward assists always make me laugh. "Hey guys, this round is obstructed and won't feed or fire. Think I should take it out?" "HELL NO!!! JAM THAT SUCKER IN THERE AND MAKE IT WORK!!!

you should NEVER use your forward assist. if the round won't chamber, you stop firing, and toss the round. if it continues, you stop altogether and repair the weapon.

 

[OD Moose]

I wouldn't say "never". While the forward assist should never be used in lieu of a remedial action drill, you should always give it one good 'tap' after preforming a brass check. About 90% of the time, at least with the ARs I've fired, the bolt will not fully re-seat after a brass check.

I fired some questionable ammo today. Some reloaded shit that the range had for their machine guns and I had 2 rounds not fire, but luckily nothing like that happened. I'd hate to be in a life or death situation with crappy ammo like that.

why brass check? leave the bolt open or let it fly on a round.

i've never had a situation that would require me to check to see if there's a round loaded. if the gun needs a round close the bolt. if it doesn't, pull the crappy charging handle and lock it back.

 

[OD Moose]

Meh. On the range it might not matter, but in a life or death situation, it pays to be sure. Otherwise, you're right.

When I load and make ready during competitions. I load the rifle and then remove the mag, if the top rounds is now on the other side, you know a round loaded
