Weapon service life 2.1 Service life of individual components The service life or individual components is classified into 4 groups as follows:
a) min. 10000 rounds for wearing parts of the bolt assembly b) min. 15000 rounds barrel life c) min. 15000 rounds for all other secondary components d) min. 30000 rounds for major components.
2.2 Extended service life / Functional safety - Experience indicates that depending on the grade of ammunition used, the barrel has to be changed after approx. 20000 up to 30000 rounds have been fired. -15000 rounds for wearing parts of the bolt assembly are quite feasible: other small components will last for anything up to 30000 rounds. -Major components such as trigger housing, bolt, receiver, plastic parts, the main components of the trigger action may readily be expected to withstand 40000 rounds. -We have weapons at our plant which have major components still fully functional after firing 80000 up to 100000 rounds.
VER IFICATION TESTS
1. Rain trials - Purpose The rain trial is a short-term test to determine the effect of heavy rainfall on the function of the weapon. Over a period of 84 minutes,
a 12 hour downpour of rain is simulated. - Procedure Before beginning the trial the test weapon is lubricated normally. The weapon is to be subjected to the water spray whilst in the armed condition, i.e. ready to fire. During the trial, the weapon is exposed to a water shower equivalent to approx. 10 mm/min. or 600 +- 76 mm h: The spray is distributed over the entire weapon by means of a device located approx. 1 meter above the weapon. The sequence of the individual tests is shown in the table marked "Rain Trials". The test weapons must fulfil the requirements of section I of the table. It is desired that the requirements of section II are also met. At the end of the firing phase with the muzzle horizontal and then pointing upward, there is a break of 30 minutes during which the weapon shall not be sprayed. The simulated rainfall value is to be set as listed above and measured. Both air and water temperature are to be recorded. Care must be taken to ensure that the respective air and water temperatures are identical. for all trials. Firing: 3 series each of 150 rounds single-shot plus 50 rounds fully automatic = total 600 rounds Requirement: max. 2 malfunctions Gas valve position 1

- General - Prior to testing, each weapon fired a sequence of 4 rounds singleshot, 2 x 3-round burst and 10 shots fully automatic to verify that it was in perfect functional order. - After each test, the weapons were stripped and thoroughly cleaned.
2.1 Stationary sand and dust trials - Procedure
- Clean and grease each weapon under trial and close off the barrel with a muzzle cap. - Insert a full 20-round magazine, cycle the weapon and put it on SAFE. If fitted, close the dust cover.
-Firing: 1 x 20-round magazine, single-shot -Requirement: max. 1 malfunction -Gas valve position 1 The test weapons are to be exposed to the sand and dust follows: -Place the weapon with its full magazine inserted plus an extra full magazine in the center of the box, in front of the filling hole; ejection port to the bottom of the box. Close the lid of the box. -Switch on the blower and, within 60 seconds, shake 2.27 kg of the sand and dust mixture mentioned in point 2 through the filling hole -After 60 seconds, switch off the blower and allow it to run down. Remove the box lid and turn over the weapon and the spare magazine. Close the lid and switch on the blower for another 60 seconds without adding more dust and sand mixture. -Remove the weapon and the spare magazine from the box and wipe them off with the bare hand only. -Clean the weapon as best possible by blowing on it with the mouth or by shaking it to remove jammed particles. Remove the muzzle cap.
-Fire the entire inserted magazine in the single-shot mode. -If this is not possible owing to repeated malfunctions, attempt to fire with the spare magazine. -If the weapon does not function properly, make a new attempt to fire, using a clean magazine with clean ammunition. - Results All weapons completed the trial without malfunctioning. 2.2. Dynamic sand and dust trials - Purpose Essentially, this trial is similar to that described under "Sand and dust trials". However, firing takes place while the weapon is exposed to a blown stream of sand and dust. - Preparations As described under "Sand and dust trials". Firing: 100 rounds single-shot and 40 rounds fully automatic = total 140 rounds Requirement: max. 8 malfunctions Gas valve position 1
-Procedure -Clean and lubricate the test weapons; fill seven magazines for each weapon. -Secure the test weapon in the retention bracket of the sand and dust box. Insert a 20-round magazine and chamber a round. If the weapon is fitted with a dust cover, close this before firing the first shot. Wrap the six other magazines in plastic bags and place them in the box. -Switch on the blower and then pour in the sand and dust mixture through the filling port at a rate of I kg/min. - Each weapon which is being exposed to the whirling sand and dust shall now fire 140 rounds in strings of 20. The first 100 rounds are to be fired at 1 shot/sec. and the remaining 40 rounds in short bursts. -The 20-round strings must be fired within 20 seconds to ensure that the total test time amount to approx. 2 112 minutes.
- Continue firing until a malfunction occurs that cannot be immediately remedied, i.e. if tools or stripping are required, or until all 140 shots have been fired. -Evaluation Using a continuous cyclic rate recorder, register total test duration, time up to the first malfunction, time needed to remedy the fault, plus the rate of fire. A vital parameter of this test is the total length of time the bolt is held open in order to rectify a malfunction, change a magazine etc. -Results All the test weapons completed the trial without a single malfunction.
2.3. Sand drag trials -Purpose The purpose of this test is to assess the effect of sand on the reliable functioning of the weapon by simulating the conditions that a trooper would expect to encounter when crawling along sandy ground. -Preparations As previously described under "Sand and dust trials". However, during the entire test, the sand temperature must be + 44'C. The test weapon is attached to a sled which back and forth along the trough. The sled is designed to ensure that the weapon is constantly guided through the bed of sand in the correct position and at the right depth. Before beginning the trial, the trough is filled with sand to within 75 mm of its upper edge. The surface of the sand bed must be completely flat. Analysis of the sand is as described under "Sand and dust trials". -Firing:
- 5 rounds single-shot after each drag test, whereby 20 drag tests 100 rounds Requirement: - maximum 4 malfunctions during the first 50 shots (10 drag tests). - maximum 10 malfunctions during the entire testing cycle (20 drag tests).
-Procedure - Clean and lubricate the test weapons. - To establish flawless function of each weapon before testing, first fire a full 20-round magazine. The first half of the magazine in single-shot mode, the remainder in bursts. -Place the weapon, loaded with 20 rounds. with its left side up (ejection port facing down) onto the surface of the sand. The muzzle is sealed off with a cover and is pointing in the drag direction. The weapon must lie at an angle of 15' to the longitudinal axis of the trough. Press the weapon lightly into the sand by hand. Bring the sled over the weapon and clamp it in the prescribed position. -The position coordinates of the weapon and the position of the moving parts have a significant affect on the results of the sand drag trial, e.g. bipod removed / stowed / extended. -Such data must be carefully registered in the test records.
-Using the sled, drag the weapon through the full length of the sand trough at a speed of 0.5 m/sec. i.e. the rate of a creeping or crawling trooper. -Remove the loaded weapon from the sled. Shake off the loose sand for 5 seconds or blow it off with the mouth. Take off the muzzle cap and fire 5 single shots, with 3 seconds between each shot. -Turn the safety catch to "SAFE". Replace the muzzle cap and attach the weapon to the sled, this time with the right side facing upward. -Carry out a total of 20 drag tests, i.e. 10 with the left side up and 10 with the right side up. Tests should be stopped if a situation occurs whereby the bolt does not close upon cycling or after manual assistance. If weapon cycling or manual assistance is required three times in a row, the test sequence should also be stopped. -If malfunctions occur which cannot be rectified by cycling the weapon or by manual assistance on the bolt, proceed as follows: - Unload the weapon, i.e. remove the magazine, cock the weapon and pull the trigger. Repeat this operation three times. Now reload the weapon and continue the trial. - If a magazine becomes empty from firing or loss of rounds because of malfunctions or cycling, replace it with a clean full one. Chamber a round and continue testing. -Results All test weapons met the trial requirements (gas valve position 2). 2.4. Mud trials -Purpose
The purpose of the mud trails is to determine the limits of functional reliability of the test weapon after it has been submerged in 12 consecutive mud baths, each of which is increasingly thicker than the one before.
-Preparation Clean, lubricate and prepare each test weapon for firing. -Firing: 4 rounds single-shot; 2 x 3-round bursts and 10 fully automatic = total 20 rounds -Requirements: (mandatory baths) - Bath 2 + 7 : - Bath 3 + 8 : - Bath 4 + 9 : Total max. 10
max. 1 malfunction max. 3 malfunctions max. 6 malfunctions malfunctions
-Procedure Testing is to be conducted as follows: a)
Prepare the weapons for the mud bath trials in the same manner as for the stationary sand and dust trials. Submerge the loaded and SAFE weapon in the mud bath and move it back and forth for 60 seconds. Now fire the test weapon in the following sequence until the magazine is empty: Single-shot : 4 rounds every 3 seconds Bursts : 2 x 3 rounds Fully automatic: 10 rounds The time taken between removing the weapon from the mud bath and the firing sequence shall be as short as possible and not more than 60 seconds. b) Each test weapon is to be submerged in 12 consecutive mud baths of varying viscosity.

Before submerging the weapon in the respective mud bath, thoroughly clean it and prepare it for firing in the same manner as for the sand and dust trials. c) The clay used in the trials shall be free of sand and sourced from the lower strata of the ground. The quartz sand employed must be clean and dry and pass 100 % through US standard sieve no.16; 80 % through US standard sieve no.30 and 3.5 % through US standard sieve none. d) Terminate testing as soon as the weapon does not function flawlessly after submersion in one of the baths. Use magazines in the following sequence: - Magazine inserted in the weapon - Magazine separately submitted to mud bath treatment - Clean magazine
-Results
-General: All weapons fulfilled the test requirement of max. 10 permissible malfunctions. -Observation: These extreme trials indicated that the majority of malfunctions could be attributed to the magazines, e.g. - jammed column of ammunition (bolt closes on an empty chamber) - rounds rise too slowly (failure to strip and chamber new round) - stripping resistance is too great (bolt does not close fully) Weapon function is affected primarily by the degree of magazine fouling. In view of the magazine malfunctions, a clean magazine was inserted after each dipping in baths no.10 onwards. Gas valve position 2 was also selected. -Result: Functioning in order. 2.5. T esting
