Sit back and let the old guy tell you how its done.
those that wish to reference various 6-50, -10s,AR 385-63, or Regt/base/Marine corp safety SOPs need not respond
Max loading ele is 1000Mils. Projo cradled in left arm of ammo man. He kneels down and pushes round into powder chamber until rotating band engages swiss groove. and gets out of the way
You use 1 long and 1 short ramming staff section. Guy with biggest guns rams her home.
As soon as the staffs leave the breach powder man inserts powder in chamber, hitting swiss groove.
#1man closes breach. Takes primer out of mouth inserts into firing lock.
and stands to left side of breach.
(by this time ammo man has next round in hand and standing by #1 man and lt trunion)
Gets nod/ command fire from CoS. Pulls firing mech with index finger rt hand
As tube recoils to the rear brings right arm up, slaps breech locking mech with palm of right hand. Gravity opens breech. (And if you do it right, flames shoot out the tube. Thats how you get caught at night
)
The dance starts all over again. Only exception is that the command to fire is "Quad XXXX Set". given by A-gunner.
Or at least thats how I heard it was done.
