By doing this the soldier lessens the chance of a feed stoppage preventing the weapon functioning correctly.

Tap, rack, bang (TRB) or tap, rack, and go is jargon for the response to a failure to fire in a firearm with a removable magazine. As typically taught in tactical firearms courses, the “tap” is applying pressure on the floor plate of the magazine to lock it into place. DO SOLDIERS THROW AWAY MAGAZINES? You don’t want to lose all of them. However, as others have pointed out, magazines are relatively inexpensive and are not serialized; and in a firefight troops are trained to drop the magazine and not waste precious seconds putting it away. However, they can be gathered up afterwards. WHY DO SOLDIERS PUT TAPE ON THEIR MAGAZINES? Taping magazines together in order to speed up reloading became so common among troops using the M1 Carbine that the U.S. military experimented with the “Holder, Magazine T3-A1”, which came to be referred to by some infantrymen as the “Jungle Clip”. WHY IS THE NUMBER AR MAGS? Another great reason to number your magazines is to separate range magazines from “real life” magazines. For example: I have a set of AR magazines that go to the range. My “real life” magazines are maintained in a separate set than my range mags, and marking helps me easily identify them. HOW MANY MAGAZINES DO SOLDIERS CARRY? In military terms, your basic combat load is at least seven 30-round magazines for an M4-style carbine rifle and two spare high-capacity pistol magazines for an issued personal defense weapon. DOES TAPING MAGAZINES TOGETHER WORK? Magazines are not perfect, and if you are shooting in an environment where you need to move you can lose rounds out of the upside down magazine. an improper taping can prevent you from seating the magazine properly. Your bullets are exposed to dirt and weather that can jam your weapon or make your magazine malfunction. ARE DOUBLE FEEDS DANGEROUS? CAUTION: A Failure to Extract and a Double Feed are regarded as very serious malfunctions, requiring the use of proper tools to clear. They are difficult to clear sometimes. A live round could be left in the chamber and accidentally discharged. WHAT KIND OF SHOTGUNS DO POLICE USE? The Mossberg 590, specifically built for ease of cleaning in the field, has been issued to many front line combat military units and has been used for breaching as much as anti-personnel work. The Mossberg 500/590 remains a popular shotgun and can often be found in a police vehicle’s shotgun lock or in the trunk. WHY IS AMMO SO EXPENSIVE NOW 2020? Some of this increase can be blamed on ammo hoarders and an increase in the cost of raw materials, but most high prices are due simply to the laws of supply and demand. It may take longer than in the past, but some day the Great Ammo Shortage of 2020 will come to an end. WHERE DO SOLDIERS PUT THEIR AMMO? Machinegun belts usually come in ammo cans. You’ll note the Germans also issued ammo in a small “drum” but it’s not really a drum magazine. It holds a belt in a small, convenient package. Many machineguns today have a box or bag that hangs below the centerline (for balance) to hold the belt, nicknamed a “nutsack”. WHAT IS A TYPE 3 MALFUNCTION? A type 3 failure is caused when the extractor fails to extract the empty shell casing from the previously fired shot. When the next round is fed into the chamber, it runs into the back of the unextracted shell casing, and just like that your gun is dead in the water. WHAT ARE THE TWO MAIN CAUSES OF FIREARM ACCIDENTS? Ignorance and carelessness are major causes of firearm accidents. To help reduce the number of firearm accidents, it is critical that gun safety rules are understood and practiced at all times by every family member. WHAT DOES BLUE TAPE ON A GUN MEAN? Most police and military groups engaged in Reality Based Training exercises utilizing marking cartridges are taught worldwide to mark the firearms as having been inspected, modified, and rendered incapable of chambering and firing conventional munitions by using blue tape or blue bands around the grip of the firearms. WHY DO MP5 MAGS HAVE RED TAPE? In most cases it’s used to designate a certain load (full metal jacket vs. hollow points) or it can be used to designate a “training only” (blanks, sims, etc) mag depending on the scene depicted. WHAT DOES RED TAPE ON MAGAZINES MEAN? Green tape = green tip (m855) Yellow tape = m193. Red tape = 55g match. IS IT BAD FOR MAGAZINES TO KEEP THEM LOADED? When left loaded to full capacity and not used, most magazines will very slowly lose some amount of spring tension over time. Some springs may stay loaded for decades and still function, and others might wear out after a much shorter period of time. WHAT DOES BLUE TAPE ON A MAGAZINE MEAN? all in all blue means harmless yellow means non lethal projectile red means gun damaging and none means normal ammo. HOW MANY MAGS DO NAVY SEALS CARRY? In the end, the SEALs mostly stuck to Colt’s 30-round magazines in their M16 rifles and later carbine variants, including the now ubiquitous M-4. HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU UNLOAD MAGAZINES? Every once in a while, it is recommended to unload and give everything a nice cleaning. This includes the rounds that are in the magazine. A quick wipe with a towel (make sure not to leave debris from the towel on any rounds) should do the trick. SHOULD I CARRY WITH A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER? Many people argue this: the time you save by concealed carrying with a round in the chamber isn’t significant enough to make a real difference in a self-defense situation, therefore, if you don’t want to risk an accidental discharge (again, this can be avoided with proper training and a well-designed holster) then you RELATED POSTS 1.
