pattonwr Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 As described on Page 22 of the manual (2000 edition)... When a shell is resting on top of the shell carrier, what prohibits a shell from being released from the magazine after the chambered round is fired? THANX!!! Quote
Duggan Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Good question, something I do not really have a good answer for ... If I had to guess, I'd say that the shell being held down by the BCG cycling above it keeps the lifter down, and the lifter being held down for the rearwards cycle period makes the BCG skip the notch that normally would activate the shell release and trip the lifter on the next cycle forward. If that makes any sense at all that is, I'm tired and haven't fired my m4 in awhile. Quote
