Every time I had a malfunction. See 5 below.

Describe the proper procedure for applying immediate action with the M16/A2.

1.Slaps gently upward on the magazine to ensure it is fully seated, and the magazine follower is not jammed.
2.Pulls the charging handle fully to the rear.
3.Observes for the ejection of a live round or expended cartridge. (If the weapon fails to eject a cartridge, perform remedial action.)
4.Releases the charging handle (do not ride it forward).
5.Taps the forward assist assembly to ensure bolt closure.
6.Squeezes the trigger and tries to fire the rifle.
