Barrel flew out during firing?!
Possibility: Barrel was disengaged from main MG body by some smart aleck gunner who thinks he knows what to do, and didn't install it back properly. Note: 3 clicks must be heard when installing the barrel back to the MG breech. 3 clicks heard = locked in... possibility of barrel flying out = less chance of u getting struck by lightning.

Hey, I din know that... and i passed my MG handling test. Just shows how substandard SAF trg can be sometimes.

LazerLordz SG

The 3 clicks is not the most stringent requirement. Wink

lwflee SG

Hey, i think it is important. What if the barrel flys off and hits someone? I couldn't live with myself. Even worse, what if, *gasp* i have to sign 1206 for damaging the barrel!

justcooler SG

this 3 click stuff, is it for the 0.5 gun or the MG ?? Rolling Eyes

News SG

Then what is the most stringent requirement?

You mean the rivels in the GPMG loose or not?

Paladin SG

U gotta be kidding... barrel flew out?
And if u are really telling the truth it has nothing to do with the gun but mishandling of some stupid fools.

What's your vocation? U repair GPMG?

LazerLordz SG

I meant that it should be more than 3. Laughing Paisehs to those who misread my post. Embarassed

Rivets too.

lwflee SG

Then how many? All i know is put in and turn.

Dun say dunno hor, coz i know this is your (army) rice-bowl!

I recall one of my incident with GMPG gun.. Was firing blanks from my GPMG mounted on the M113. Unknown to me, the screw holding the trigger component was loose. Note that the the sear holding back to bolt was in the trigger component. As such, the shear was unable to hold back the bolt even after the trigger is release.. Runaway gun occur... finish half a box of blanks before I manage to rectify the issue.

I doubt this will happen to live firing such the weapons all go thru ffi first..

storywolf SG

Why would I want a p90 or p229 or a dagger, when I can shoot anyone from as far away with GPMG. Yes it may be heavy, but it is worth its weight in gold when fire fight began.

Learn from the SAS, every fight they pick, they make sure they steal or grab all the GPMG they can get their hands on.

MGGUN SG

So far so good for me....Once in India live firing exercise my MG was mounted on A vehicle and shoot four boxes of 7.62mm at one go ..............Must change barrel.......

Its proven it can be truct worthy provided with proper maintainence......Key is to oil alot and must be very clean.....

BillyBong SG

Last time i fired it during night live firing, my target board caught fire….

Fatum SG

The most "fun" part about the MG is the cleaning ! .... Twisted Evil
