Barrel Inspection
Before each shooting session, especially under combat conditions, make sure that the weapon is not
blocked. By performing this inspection, you will avoid a barrel bulge, in other words, unnecessary
expense to the State and to yourself.
A barrel bulge is caused by a abnormal increase in pressure inside the barrel, specifically, if the barrel
is blocked in near the muzzle by grease, dirt, snow, water, or whatever foreign object. A piece of
cleaning rod, or cord in the barrel can cause an explosion while shooting.
