Explain to me proper procedure of turning in a weapon

[ericlee]

I just want to know how you would do it based on your common knowledge. I work as an armorer and I deal with soldiers in issue and turn in of weapons and for some reason, they can't seem to remember proper turn in procedures of a simple thing. It really irks me to see a damn E-7 who can't get it down.

So, just say you've just come back from the range and you go to the armorery to turn in your weapon, how would you do it? What are the procedures you'll do before turning it in?

I just want to compare some of your knowledge, that of not being trained on or have never touched a gun, with someone who's whole career evolves on using a gun.

what the hell are you rambling about?

[ericlee]

what the hell are you rambling about?

is it that hard to follow?

How would you give your gun back to the armorer after you are finished with it?

[ericlee]

im guessing. close all windows, logging off and the pressing the power button. or if u wana get all technical take bullets out put safty on and throw it at the guy behind the counter. BLAM!

I'll tell you this, if you throw your weapon at me, I'm gonna come from behind the counter and butt stroke you in the mellon with it.

You failed.

At least you got the take all the bullets and put it on safe part right.

[Pres Zount]

I can undertand, it's just that "How would fellow bbmb-ers hand their gun back to the armourer after they had finished with it in the firing range?" is the the dumbest thread I have seen in a long time.

What is the answer? Turn it off take bullets out give back??

[Bob]

safety on, bullets and grenades (if applicable) out, not pointing at the armorer or anybody else during the handing-in procedure, not covered in any kind of acid, how am i doing so far?

[Bob]

i beleive that leaving the safty off and bullets in closing your eyes and runnign towards the exit with your hand on the trigger is the most effective way of achiving this task :D

make sure you attach the bayonette first

sorry, it's not an attempt to make the top 10 status thread. I'm bored, I work as an armorer and believe it or not, if someone has no knowledge of turning a weapon back in, I could get killed. There's a hole in the ceiling of my shop because somebody didn't follow the procedure and the hole could have been through me.

I'll tell you how after a few more people respond..

ok Bob, you're the man. You are very close. The whole "don't point the weapon at the armorer" thing is what I'm digging at. I really hate having guns pointed at me and when you go through basic training, that's the number one rule of thumb. Don't point your weapon at anybody unless you intend to use it.

I had a group of soldiers come back from the range and after the 5th time of getting a damn muzzle in my face, I went from behind the counter and freaked out on them. Not to mention there was an E-7 who was the high ranking NCO in that group watching them do this.

Who the fuck needs a stinking gun when you've got cyanide, TNT and High Voltage instead ? :confused:

snipers can spot all of these people trying to do their work.

If there's a plane with a cyanide drop, a Barrett .50 cal sniper rifle can take that fucker out of commission.

yeah and that winking guy is 100% british.

Come on now, you guys have some of the best weaponry around. I love the bullpup and wish we could replace that instead of using the M-16 or M-4 as basic issue

[jackrock]

take out bullets.
put safety on.
point gun down.
put on counter.
walk away.
please.
...?

[Freebasser]

You forgot one thing...

Say please!

*fires at you*

[jackrock]

:confused:

[ericlee]

Please what?..

Anyway, I've had a few former British members on my team and they are the most squared away soldiers I know of. I've had members of former German, Aussies and Korea on my teams but the Brits can get the job done with a quickness. Not to mention, while working as an armorer overseas, I never had a problem with the Brits when it came to weapons turn in.

Jackrock, you're very close. People like you keep my armsroom safe.

[jackrock]

w00t!

[Freebasser]

Please what?..

I meant thankyou. Sorry, I'm half asleep.

[ericlee]

I meant thankyou. Sorry, I'm half asleep.

so I take it your stayawakethon is over?

It's overated. I don't sleep due to the fact that I have insomnia. If I could get sponsored, I'd be a millionare. My wife is always on my ass to see a doctor about it but I've been there before just to give me their "strongest" sleep medicne which just keeps me awake and I walk around all day tripping.

My god, it's "safety" not "safty".

[CJM]

clear weapon before you enter building. take off sling, take out bolt, clean, and pass in.

[marsdaddy]

What's the procedure for turning in my hands?

[CrankItUp!]

snipers can spot all of these people trying to do their work.

Uncle Ted would just put an arrow through their fucking head. (y)

clear the weapon. Good. You can keep the sling on because I'm tired of hearing, "I had a sling when I turned this in" It's not like we've got a black market for selling slings..Take out bolt.. Hmm, I'd probably respect that but no, you keep it in but there is something you must do to the bolt prior to turning it in to me. What is that? You are also doing a good job in impressing me to make sure I've got a safe armsroom.

[ericlee]

I'm actually waiting for Lopp to respond to this before I tell ya'll the procedures. I want to see how well trained those wingnuts really are.

[ericlee]

Not reading any of the replies, and just going on what I 'know'. I'd make sure the gun is placed on safety, remove the magazine, pull the cocking handle to make sure any rounds are clear of the breach, visually check to see if anything was in it. And erm, that's it? Maybe then take it off safety and pull the trigger one last time whilst pointing at the nearest person to see if my checks were any good?


very good but still missing some things involved in a proper and safe turn in procedure.

Oh, pulling the trigger and pointing to the nearest person? Man that shit don't fly in my armsroom So you think I work this armsroom without having a loaded gun at my desk? It's all legal from my standpoint man. If I even see you as being a harm to others, I can guarntee I'm alot faster than you.

Don't fuck with my armsroom

Edit: hehe ;) (y) :rolleyes: :p :)

I'm seriosuly not being mean or trying to diss you. I'm just shaking my head at how bored some people are. sorry.

[hpdrifter]

I can't believe people walk in with the guns pointed at you. I've held a gun and shot a gun (that Pepsi can fucked with me for the last time) once in my life and even I know not to do that.

[ericlee]

no diss taken. Bored and drunkerdness, blah...

I'm the other white meat on this board but I'm proud of myself. I've got a 2 pager over this..

[adam_f]

Usually I just give guns to the kids. It's all about the kids.

[adam_f]

I remember watching the Daily Show and this guy was trying to give guns to these kids in Harlem. An ideal location for such a cause.

[ericlee]

I hope you picked up I was joking about pointing at someone. Guns should never be pointed at someone you aren't going to shoot, and fingers should never be on the trigger until you are going to shoot.

Oh yeah, make sure the hammer isn't still cocked on the weapon. Am I right, am I right? Oo oo, tell me!

Of course I picked up that you were joking. I know you have thoughts of joining one of the finest militaries and from what I know and have had experiences with, they are sure on how a weapon should be properly turned in.

Edit: I don't feel like bumping that one thread up but now I can see why you want to join. It forgot the fact that you won't be joining the American army and the British for one thing has better duty stations.

Ok, here's how it is though.

first, every armsroom should have a clearing barrel outside. You take your magazine out of your weapon while you have your weapon pointed in the clearing barrel.

second, while the weapon is still pointed in the barrel, you move the bolt to the rear to ensure nothing is in the chamber. After you ensure the clearness of the weapon, you move the bolt back forward, put the weapon on fire and squeeze the trigger. You are doing this the whole time the weapon is pointed in the clearing barrel. Of course, if you did pull the bolt back and found you have a round in the chamber, you would take out the round and then proceed with step 2.

Third, you would put the weapon on safe and lock the bolt to the rear. You then need to turn it into the armorer making sure you hand it in BUTTSTOCK FIRST. Make sure you don't point it at anybody while doing so.

The bolt needs to be locked to the rear prior to being turned in because the armorer needs to verify it's clear before he lets the bolt go forward and places it in the rack for storage..
