Always check that the gears
 and sprockets are tight. If
 they're loose, either replace the
 roll (spring) pins or get sup-
 port to fix 'em. Bent or squeez-
 ed spring pins in this area can
 hurt the delinker feeder real
 bad.
 WATCH THAT
 AMMO FEEPER!

 You need 10 links between the clamp
and the adapter to get a good bend
radius when the chute's attached to the
delinking feeder. And you should have
107 links from the adapter back to the
crossover assembly, though a couple
more or less here won't make much
difference.


 Incidentally, make sure you lock the
ammo chute at the delinking feeder end
after loading or you'll find yourself be-
tween the devil and the deep. If it comes
loose from the gun, Minnie will con-
tinue to feed, but whiplash could cause
a link to separate. This'd cause either a
jam or firing out of the remaining
rounds. If the system jams, it becomes
unsafe because of unfired rounds left in
the gun. And if it doesn't jam then
you'll fill the turret with live rounds.
Anyhow, always remember this: Any
live rounds left in the gun will fire!


c6 THE AMMO COMPARTMENT
- This is your TAT-102A's arsenal ... feeds up to 8000 rounds direct to the
delinking feeder by way of 4 ammo boxes, the crossover assembly, the flexible
chute and the synchronized cartridge drive. Heads-up operation in this area can
shortcut most of your firing problems.
