Gun firing all right - gun stops:

Cock - mag off - fresh mag on - carry on firing.

(No 1 stoppage drill for the Bren)

In the dim and distant past I was a Rockape before I was a nav!
Slight thread drift, I remember an article about the Vietnam war and a General touring recruits on the range with the M60, he asked several recruits, a hoard of cong are coming at you and you have a jam, what do you do?
All answered,

belt off, clear blockage, belt on, carry on

And then he arrived at a Vietnam vet and asked again...

Belt off, pack off and f*ck off was the reply....
