 I'm so used to, like, right up on the weapon and I got close and I hit myself in the face. The recoil is a whole lot different than on the M4. Today we are running a mountain machine gunnery event. We are trying to get crew certified on crew-cert weapons such as the Fittacal and 240 Bravo. Getting soldiers to get familiar and qualify on crew-cert weapons is kind of a lost trade. Convoys are constantly happening overseas and we're always getting hit. And so we're always freezing up, not knowing how to clear a weapon, how to load, or how to function check a Fittacal or 240 Bravo or even a Mark 19. We didn't get to do this kind of stuff in basic. We kind of just worked with the M4s, but getting out in the home V and stuff was pretty fun. It's not what I was expecting to do on our AT. I thought I was going to be taking pictures the whole time. If you were at a BA and you have a senior gunner at your unit or even somebody that's familiar or has experience with crew-cert weapons, have them pull them out, teach you how to use them, take them apart, clean them, you know, the basic function check. Definitely like listen to the guys that are in there with you that know what they're doing. Pay attention to the directions, do what they say and you should be good.
