Haha...what exactly would you call "prepping your weapon right"? When I was shooting the -240 that would include a thorough cleaning, oiling, spare barrels, and spare gas ports. Especially when firing blanks, because they gum up the gun. Why? Because the -240 would have feed issues if you didn't. It was especially suseptible at the highest rate of fire, which was why we generally used the middle setting. You guys already apparently know all that.
As always AW, someone got an opportunity to tell someone how fucked up they are because they disagree with something someone said.
Cool story bro...
I'm not a gunner and do not claim to be. However, in my previous squadron there were multiple issues with the 240 feeding, jamming, etc, and that was on flights shooting maybe 3-4 200 round cans. In my current squadron we go through thousands of rounds in a flight and rarely, if ever have issues.
Was it you, was it your gun? I don't know, I wasn't there, and I don't care. What I do know is that there are methods of setting up and employing a weapon (perhaps the same as what you did, perhaps it's different, maybe you had shitty guns that screwed you from the beginning) that enables damn near 100% up rate through thousands of rounds.
Maybe take a step back and realize that I'm not telling you that you are fucked up, what I'm saying is that there are different methods of doing something and if you were willing to accept that instead of responding like a dick, stuff would improve.
