SCAMPE?
PUBWO(C)?
Some Captains still look at me bemused when I deviate from the Big Airline SOP brief into "I will stop for a top line red, red hyd or a major loss of thrust. Engine failure above 250kts, I'll turn right for rw19 and from 300kts I'll turn d/w for 32"!!!

From 1971 and they are probably still taught today.
The position and hold must be firm enough to support the weapon
The weapon must point naturally at the target
The shot must be released and followed through without disturbing the position.
Sight alignment (aiming) must be correct.

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!

All answered,
belt off, clear blockage, belt on, carry on

Anyway, as for the others, I've heard of being picky, but picking on Airborne Aircrews post in that way, is as petty as if I was to post
I wasn't 'picking', I was querying because I remember being taught differently.
I remember the T in GRIT as being Target, as in:
'Left 2 O'Clock, 5 enemy in open, RAPID Fire'.
