While live firing in Canada we where using 66mm until we ran out of live ones. We then started to use the sub-caliber weapons, which we had signed, out of the stores. One of the weapons refused to fire the round. The Ghurkha safety officer then decided to follow procedure for misfires on live rounds.. After about 10 mins he then took the weapon from one of the troop and placed it on the ground and sent the entire troop away. Then he proceeded to attach a lump of plastic explosive at the side of it, which he then blew up the weapon.. Our troopy had a hard time explaining this to the QM.....
