Hopefully somebody out there can help me. I'm in reserve BMQ and we've had a few weekends of C7 training (just up to the point of how to load/unload). We seem to be going through everything so fast. Anyways, I have a few questions that hopefully somebody can answer for me, so I don't have to go ask the MCpls and sound like I haven't been paying attention (which I have been!) and an idiot. :-[ Also, 2 weekends from now I have the weapons handling test, which I'm really worried about.
First Question â “ I know how to do the safety precautions, but I was just wondering - do you ever attempt to put the weapon on â Å“Sâ ? before you do your safety precautions? Just like you do before you unload. Why not?
Second Question â “ Okay, this is going to sound really stupid but they haven't explained to us exactly how the c7 (or any rifle for that matter) works. Lets assume you are on the range or anywhere else and you pick up the C7 and do safety precautions and instead of "clear", there is a round in the chamber...what do you do? Is that why during the safety precautions you aim and fire? Or is that a negligent discharge?
Ok hopefully I don't sound like a real idiot. I just hope someone can answer these questions for me before the next time I go in. BTW, don't worry I'm going to go ask for them to go over everything again! Just incase you think I sound like I have no idea what I'm doing! I've been trying as much as possible to study that sheet they give you and tell you to fold up in your pocket about the C7. (You know the sheet with specs, how to unload, load, field strip, detail strip, etc.)
Anyone have any additional info that would be helpful, it would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!
