This course covers the DS/GS level disassembly and reassembly of the Minimi and M249 machine guns and their variants. Topics covered during the class include history of the system, parts description, loading and unloading procedures, tools and gages used for Operator and Armorer level inspection and repair. Instructors use “hands on” repetitive training techniques to engage the student in understanding the technical aspects of the weapon system. Safety and warning precautions for the weapon system are stressed heavily throughout the course. The technical specifications, functions checks, and common repair of the weapon will be covered fully and all students will leave with a thorough knowledge and understanding of the weapon system. Following successful completion of the course, the student will be awarded an Armorer/ Operator Completion Certificate rated for two (2) years, along with technical and general operator manuals and data to ensure continued reference material for later use.  (Range time is not included but can be arranged for an additional cost)
