yeah cause your piece of #### equipment is half a century old
why would you download? just lock your bolt back, put the mag in and close it, as you should to begin with
what kind of dolt closes the bolt to put a mag in anyways? lol
but who cares about the gear right? just the taxpayers footing the bill for it when you need new stuff lol
I can sense your great respect for members of the Canadian Forces.
It’s his equipment when it’s $hitty and half a century old, but it’s the tax payer’s when it needs to be updated, that sounds fair. The last time I checked, members of the CF pay income tax like any other citizen.

In case that’s not your cup of tea, that’s how soldiers are taught.
I would imagine SOPs vary when the range becomes two-ways. If you've experienced this, perhaps you can enlighten us.
Soldiers don’t chamber a round unless they are told to do so. They don’t have a bolt racked back and ready to go forward when order to load is given. Even when they are told to make ready, they will close the dust cover and put the weapon on safe after chambering a round.
The exception is when they’re already firing their weapon and the bolt locks back on an empty magazine, or after clearing some other stoppage. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but these may be the only times soldiers will feed a loaded magazine with the BCG locked back.
I didn’t write the PAM, but I would imagine there are certain levels of readiness where it would be beneficial for a rifle to have a mag in it, but no round chambered.
But it's good to know you support our troops.
