FIX We used to say: tap - rack - bang (means tap the magazine, reload the weapon and squeeze the trigger), but this is not accurate way, because proceeding only literal may be not enough. So what should we do? Instead of taping the magazine (tap) one should firmly push and pull. That way I am able to check if that my maga- zine catch is working properly and magazine is properly inserted. Rack means reload - you have to dynamically pull the charging handle all way to the back and release it, that the bolt car- rier can return itself to the forward position. Bang squeezing the trigger, in other words, firing. Here I advise to change that for re- assess what means another assessment of the situation: if firing is required at the moment - you should do it.
