I've never handled a gun myself but I'm guessing what you're getting at is pulling "that thing" (do you call it the cock?) back and then pushing it forward (which I know you need to do from seeing movies and playing comp games). Either way, you'd think that someone being some kind of mastermind of murder and war would know that basic stuff. Like your sig by the way

It's a charging handle, and there is no forward release; the SAW fires from the open bolt position. That's why you never ride the bolt forward or else you might get a negligent discharge (bad ju ju).

that's news to me, I thought it operated from the closed bolt position. I'd never thought to verify that.

in conclusion- my bad!

thanks, Mohmar- I have an aversion to bureaucracy of any kind, and will be more than glad to demonstrate how to take the meddling out of a meeting or any other gathering of pencil-pushers.
